Agree with a lot of what DeKuip says. Round badge does bring back a lot of great memories, but in my opinion I’d prefer something different to what many other clubs have done. I want us to be unique, in as much as our crest being identifiable by its silhouette alone as much as anything inside it. Unpopular it may be, but I want us to stand out from the rest.

I agree.

Cue somebody designing a cock and balls shaped badge.

Looking at the shirts, during the roundel era, it was only ever on a claret or white shirt - never blue.
During the shield era, the badge was set on a black square background.

Anyway, just for fun, I've gone for a radical design incorporating a stylised gas lamp, based on the 140 years logo,
with a gold lion representing the flame:





Also just for fun:

For these reasons, I was all in favour of the round one but I've come around to the idea of just a proper lion rampant and the club name.

I think we should go all in - gas lamps, the old floodlights, 'Do you want to bet against us?' as the motto, Doug's Roller, Dalian's Brolley, all surrounded by the outline of Sir Brian's mid-70's hairstyle.

Lion rampant with a brolly over in the Atkinson/Athersmith style is now an absolute must have IMO.

That’s flippin awful.
I just don’t like the AV in a diamond.
Get rid of the AV and have Aston Villa underneath and we’re there 👍

Close the competition.  I am a genius (not my shirt, but awesome microsoft paint skills to add the badge - which was also not mine except for the star bit)

CDBWF - please just imagine blue sleeves I haven't got all day




That would be an amazing shirt if it had a hula hooping Hippo.

Can we squeeze Dave Chance getting booed singing You'll Never Walk Alone to the Holte End in a pink suit?

I know the shirt isn't to everyones taste, but do you like the badge?  That was the point of the post.

That is basically what I did above, but with my limited microsoft paint skills couldn't quite sort out the name below the badge.

I'd like the new crest to feature Andrew Greaves pushing the African Car Reverser into Doug's Roller parking space

Like it. Could we maybe have the hippo failing to stop the ball going over the line against Sheffield United?
