Strong chance of us having a round badge again because it works much better on social media..

Maybe we should have a square one.

Another vote for the round badge & more than happy with 'Prepared' as our motto!

The current badge is without doubt the worst ever!

Surely the current (slightly revised) one is better than the (almost identical but for claws) last one?

Under previous regimes we would have tried to put it in a ŕound frame though.

The current one is awful in every way.

I don't like the current incarnation I find it boring and bland. I'd love to see a bit more claret with the blue and some white in there that's been part of the home kit for decades. We have a beautifully symmetrical name which should be included in it's entirety. Over to you kids. And don't forget the gold star somewhere.

The round one is a masterpiece,probably my favourite.But I wouldn't go back.It becomes some kind of ersatz retro . I don't like Man City's incarnation for instance.
Time for a new one.Maybe a Clarrie Blue inspired one.

The current fashion is to strip logos back, (spurs, bin dippers) so we’ll probably just have a gold lion on the next home shirt.

This might be up there with admitting to owning a caravan, but I really like what they did with the Spurs badge.

My first Villa shirt had the 1969-1973 blue lion atop the AV.   I vaguely remember that the seven year-old me felt disappointed that it wasn't the same crest that adorned the Trinity Road stand.  Now I really like its pared down simplicity.  Whether it works in the twenty-first century world of merchandise and corporate branding is another matter - although as others have said, Spurs and Liverpool have moved away from crests that looked like every heraldic symbol possible had to be included to a simple cockerel and liver bird.
