Crest Review

Copying UKIP to represent our steadfast refusal to compete in Europe?

Yes, with but the star is also flipped (lion looking directly at it)

Thanks mate.

Boca territory here, but what about our 7 FA Cup wins & league titles? 12 stars representing the founding members? I don’t like the star on the badge or think there’s any need for it (they can go full Boca for the Las Vegas Villains badge!), but maybe a few more might actually help the design rather than working out where to place a single star?

Identifying a single match to highlight, however big, overlooks all the other important achievements in our history.

Leaning towards this design now...

I agree - we go on about 1982 far too much, it's borderline embarassing having to have it incorporated into our crest.

It sort of screams "OMG can you BELIEVE we won the European Cup!!" the implication being we'll never do it again.

Obviously, we won't, but that's nothing to scream about.

Also - 40 years ago. 40 years.

This is why I don't want a star at all, it's not small time or cringe or anything like that, it's just that it doesn't cover our history, but rather relegates most of it to 'also starring' status.

In the specific design the star behind the lion is far, far better than in front because it removes the implication that it's a toy for the lion to play with when the football is shit.

Also in the ‘fuck the star off’ camp.

I think most of us on here are.  Unfortunately htere's a voiciferous few in the fsg groups and similar who keep pumping these bright ideas.  Hence if we're not careful we may end up with a lamp as our badge.

There was one out of seven in the consultation group I was part of that wanted the star. The rest of us varied between ambivalent to get rid at all costs.

I don’t like the lion going the wrong way.

Apparently it is a nod to our first one on the early kits.

It was wrong on the early kits...
