Crest Review

[paul_e]

The lion in the round badge was perfect. The current lion looks like the cowardly one from the Wizard of Oz.

On the new shirt I think the lion looks a bit better but yellow on light blue is never going to be the lion most fans want. Yellow on claret or claret on light blue works far better (also any half and half, quarters, etc background can fuck right off, as someone said a while back, that makes it look like an old school badge).

Claret and blue. Those are our colours!

I'm not on about the shape of it CD I'm on about the size.  Some of the mock ups the lion is tiny.  I'd like it to be front and centre of our emblem.

You do 'need' (want is probably more accurate to be fair) some accent colours on there as well though with yellow and white both long established as part of our overall scheme.

No star, prepared or anything but Aston villa, lion and colours - two different round styles:-

The one on the right looks a bit MLS.

I do agree with this, some of the ones with Aston Villa in the outer circle give very little space for the Lion. I can't remember which design it was but everyone was basically loving it and all I was thinking was 'our cat is too small!'

Seen this circulating on the twitter machine:



Nod to the past with the badge, but still looks modern.

No go faster stripes, macron men or any other business.

Would buy.

Not a big fan of the round badge, but this ticks a lot of boxes for all.
I really like it.
It would, possibly, have to be all claret on our away shirts, though

No Villa in there but I would like to believe that a team in India copied the crest of Bray Wanderers.

When did Bray see its first Indian, last Tuesday?

I believe 'The Curry Leaf' restaurant has been opened there for some time.

More "what if?"
I looked at previous badges and other elements like the old Trinity mosaic;
old shield on black background, new shape lion, surrounded by the 70s roundel,
variety of typeface and colour lettering.
