Ii think the 1874 is important - we have a heritage and a colourful history that we should be proud of. To me (and admittedly, it could be only me) the 1874 represents that glorious past.

I'm not sold on just the lion.

...and a final thought on the star. I appreciate the original intent, however it's going to look a bit daft when we win it again in a few years and have the official star above and another one in the badge.

There isn't an "official" star. Well, there is, but not for winning it a couple of times 42 years apart.

Agree with all this. In my opinion I’d ditch the star until we actually play in the competition again. It’s incorporation within the badge is all a bit too Lion King for my liking. It has no place within the badge.

Integrating the star within the crest was very small time. Frankly, an admission that we are unlikely to win it again. If we did have a star it should sit outside of the actual crest, like Italian clubs tend to do.

Maybe we get a crown in the badge like Real Madrid once William becomes King.

Lion with a crown - and a receding hairline.

I think the Italians get awarded a star for ten domestic league championships, not European Cup wins.

Stamping on a globe and ripping the FFP rulebook with its teeth.

They do, plus a flag for the cup holders.

For a while (1992-93?) we had the round badge on our away kits - including the yellow one we wore at Anfield - and the newer “shield” badge on our home shirt.

Had a play around with a mix of old shield, new lion and lettering (font is Baskerville Old Face).

As mentioned earlier, keep a star for European competition. We could of course put 7 stars when we play the FA Cup, 5 for the League Cup etc....
Boom, fuck yeah. I like this idea a lot. I think it would be seven stars for the league. Unless I'm very much mistaken.

Just make the star a bit bigger for Europe than those for domestic competitions and I reckon we've nailed it.

We don't need the star. It's beneath us. The world knows who we are.

I really don't want the star. I might even start some sort of political party where my only aim is it's removal... however like someone has already mentioned, I like the idea of the star returning ABOVE the badge on just our European nights. I fully expect that to be an issue for the 23/24 season. If not then 'GERRARD OUT' should be above the badge.
