Crest Review

Why is the Lion facing the wrong way.

Because Barry is not there to take the pen.

I'm sure whichever one wins will grow on me, but right now, neither sets my heart aflame.

I like how clean and modern both look, and the examples of variations where nice for both designs. But the lion is the wrong way around. The round badge has been done by seemingly every club on earth. Its generic now. Not just that but it looks sort of plain, as much as that saddens me to say. I think I was hoping for something that captured the grandeur of Aston Villa, something timeless.

I actually really like both, I'm totally fine with the lion changing direction, I would go for the lantern one for originality's sake but the round one is going to win, and you know what - seeing the round badge on contemporary kits is going to make me feel all warm, so I'm happy.

[London Villan]

I don’t think they’ve been anywhere near as brave as I thought they would be with the designs. Which isnt a bad thing.

[Richard E]

I don’t want to get this out of perspective, but anyone who doesn’t vote for the round one should be killed.

I’m the same. I really like both and would be especially happy with that first one. I like the lion facing this way, that’s great move.

I agree I’m sure the round one will win though.

Did you watch the video?

Have we got a video?

The video on the website explains why the lion is facing the way it is.

just watched it, and it doesn’t really.
It gave % for all other changes.
The rest is just bollocks.

It says facing forward as the first crest did and that it is a lion looking ambitiously forward to the future.

Round one for me.

It has been known for quite a while that the lion would be turned around and I think it looks well. It also distinguishes our round option more from the Chelsea one as there s some thought into why the lion is turned the other way.

For years all we heard was how much everybody hated the Lerner crest. Now its a grumpy reaction to change! They cannot win.

[London Villan]

But it’s looking backwards now based in heraldry conventions… our first kit was black so do we change the colours too?

[Ian.]

The lion turning towards the future was mentioned ages ago. It’s a good move.

I have no problem with change, the round badge is great except the lion facing the wrong way.
It’s an unnecessary change and achieves fuck all.

[darren woolley]

I've voted for the round one.

Yes we've got a video!
It's a video nasty

Why is the Lion going the wrong way.
Over 150 years of history just chucked away.
Fucking idiots.

I’m sure someone would have already mentioned it, but the lion facing left was the original way in 1878-82
