Crest Review

[Rory]

Pretty sure Inter used to have a star above the badge and it looked excellent. That's what I had in mind when they said we would have a star.

I'm not so keen on the one that looks like something the cuddly cartoon lion has just burped. If we can't have it above the badge, don't bother.

Celtic have theirs on their domestic kits, don't they? Different rules no doubt, but that's the only tasteful way to do it for me, as well - a white star, directly above the badge.

I don’t see the need to have “FC” on the badge either…we’re getting rid of our name being abbreviated so why bother keeping the abbreviation when everyone knows we’re a football club…so if we end up with a circular badge then either write it as “football club” (like Chelsea) or remove FC altogether (like Man City).

If a star has to be part of the design then this could be placed around the outer circle rather than looking like a play toy for the lion…or better still, not included at all.

Disappointed that the cricket bat 🏏 and football combo ( imagine ⚽️ instead of the red ball) never made the last 3. Framed in the gas lamp with a star and lion’s mane above. Like in the Nativity plays.

It acknowledged the 4 cricket players who met under the gas lamp and had to pretend they were forming a football club as it was November and the police didn’t believe their story of why the heavy kitbags were there...

This is excellent, but I can't help thinking that the football should be a rugby ball 🏉 to remind everyone that the first half of the first game was played under rugby rules.

Why not have the star on the back where the lion is now?

Good shout if we must have a star

Why not go the sunderland route and hide the star behind the crest where no one can see it but it's still technically there.

Make the star the eye of the lion, job done, everyone happy.

That would look cool with a laser coming out of it.

Also, am I the only one that keeps reading this thread title as "Cress Review" and imagining Richard Herring going on about "lovely cress"?

I'd imagine, almost certainly.

Nope cd. I heard him reference it on a podcast not long ago and the next time I saw the topic header it came to mind but I did need a memory jolt. My older brother was a fan growing up so it was in my orbit at a young age.

In my opinion it is impossible to make a star look good within the badge. Wherever I imagine the star it pisses me off.

Hmmm... edgysatsuma. Are you related to the Curious Orange?

Ha, nah, I'm NOT in love with the world. My name is possibly even more niche, from The Mighty Boosh.
