A standalone lion was also our first crest and, given we're closing in fast on 150 years it would be a good tribute to that. That also chimes with the fact that they've turned the lion around which is was at the time.A modernised version of that with Aston Villa underneath was my choice all along and i'm glad they've at least added it to the final 3. The advantage is that doing it that way means you have a naturally monochrome crest which will work on any background with a palatte shift and looks clean and unclutted as an internet favicon and logo as well. The problem with something like the gaslamp, the round option or the current shield is that they can look weird so you end up having to adapt them for each media.I also think that round badges have become ten-a-penny since we had it and annoy me just as much as the idea of being in an identikit bowl stadium.
Swap the ham for bacon, the water for Irn Bru (not the shitey new recipe, obvs) and the crisps for more bacon and you're on.

I prefer it to 'New Irn Bru' personally. Mostly because new irn bru is shite, and everybody knows it's shite, and they should just make it with the proper recipe even if that means it costs a bit more.

Does the new one not contain real piss?
The lamp would be cringe-makingly awful. Disneyfication.
I did a gaslamp one earlier - and no - I don't like it either, it was just a 'what if' https://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=63173.250
