The 70s Lion on its own saw a rebirth of the club
I don't think it will be an actual lampost, just the shape of the shield would be based on it (I presume). Even so, the lampost thing just feels like it's trying too hard. A marketeer running away with things after a suggestion from some clever fan. Having listened to David Michael (MOMS podcast) talking about the process, I know he was pushing for a 'creative solution' I hope this isn't it. A bit like the Holy Trinity effort, you end up with a mess.I don't know why I'm getting worked up - the round badge will win by a landslide. A bit of a missed opportunity for me, but there you go.

If it is the case that the shield/badge is based on the shape of a lamppost then they are certainly trying to hard.A new identity that needs to be issued with notes explaining the design is a certain sign that it's not great.

"We're losing with a lamppost on the corner of our shirt...oh me, oh my!" Tra la la.
For what it’s worth, I think Bradford have done a good job with their new crest, even though it features a star (1911 Cup win)https://images.app.goo.gl/yuUwK3UBNB9kDMyG9
