I'd like a mobius strip shaped badge to represent our never ending quest to win the FA Cup.

Wait until I buy the club, i'll change our colours to black, the badge to a grim reaper holding a blooded scythe, and it will show the opposition that we bring death and destruction. And the away kit will be an even darker shade of black.

Not long to wait, i've already got £7.18 saved.

Good idea. It would be one sided, like the officials.

Pink lion playing pat-a-cake on an insipid shieldy thing surrounded by piss yellow with the rubbish motto beneath it? Not for me.
You do realise that was our crest when we won the cup in 1957?

It’s not a great graphic and looks much better in reality



As I’ve said before there’s a lot more to our club than the round badge, it doesn’t define us.

I did a gaslamp one earlier - and no - I don't like it either, it was just a 'what if'

That's actually nicer than I thought. I absolutely do not want it, but good job!

I'm complimenting the design job, not the concept. I think Weedy's done well with a shit brief there.

Add a grim reaper and it could be starting to look decent.

I've got the cup winners shirt somewhere. It does look better there than in the previous screenshot but wouldn't be my choice. I never said the round badge "defined us". I said it's our best badge and better than any desperate Tottenham Cockerils knock-off, because it is. Also, "Prepared" is a shite motto, hope that's nowhere near the new badge.
