Crest Review

[dave.woodhall]

I don't mind us celebrating it, but it should not be on our crest, for me. It's something we achieved; not something we should be 'about'.

Similarly, I'm not too bothered about how 'tough' the lion looks.

I said it should have a Stone Island badge. The idea wasn't taken seriously.

Use the star as the lion's eye.

A lion with a twinkle in his eye?


Not sure about that

I just googled the Stone Island badge, hadn't seen it before. It's a bit... white supremacist.

Think we should have the star, but it should be above the badge and not part of it.  I'm personally not a fan of the banners on the stands, as it's all a bit too "American football" for me.

Now I am curious, mate. What makes you associate a compass badge with white supremacists? Anyway, I think rappers are the ones wearing it nowadays, not so much the football hooligans of old.

Every single person that I have ever encountered wearing Stone Island has been an utter and complete C**T.

It's hoolie/EDL clobber, IMO.

Have you been to a football match recently? Stone Island is still de rigueur amongst the sort of coked up twats who spend the entire match flapping their hands at the opposition fans.

Not in the UK, no. I'm aware of a hooligan fondness for the brand but not that it was a white supremacy component to it.

I had a lovely Stone Island coat in the late 90s, before it got co-opted by wannabe hooligans.

The brand, not the coat.

[Des Little]

Stone Island, like Burberry before it, has become a complete parody of itself.  It's managed to cheapen a very expensive brand to the point where you assume most items that you see are fake.

For traditionalists a reminder that a stand alone lion would give a nod to the 1969 shirt




And the 71 shirt & cup shirt








So as well as probably being the most modern and stylish solution, we can show we're not just copying the Spurs and Liverpool approach.

I'll be pissed off if a stylised 'lamp' makes the short list above this.

I had a lovely ribbed jacket around the same time, the only item I've ever owned in that brand, from Autograph on Ethel St.

That looks crap.

I'm not sure, just my first impression. I'm not accusing the brand of actually having any direct links to white supremacists.
