I voted for the round one, but i don't mind either, truth be told. Both are an improvement on the current one. Could be worse, could be better, and if the team are successful while the crest is in use, it will be looked back on fondly.

It looks different because it’s what we’ve become used to. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. I just want to win games.

70 pages of discussion on here suggests it does matter to a hell of a lot of fans.

It’s a football fan website. Of course there is going to be discussion. We could discuss our favourite biscuits and sauces for 100 pages.

Voted for round but I'd be happy with either. As least the fans were involved and the Lerner pile of shite will be gone.

The Lerner badge was hated from day one. Such an awful badge. Will not be looked on fondly. Correct me if I am wrong but it's the only badge we haven't won a trophy in (unless we go and win a cup this season!), not to mention getting relegated.

It’s a bit odd I know, but having been in North America for the better part of 30 years, I miss Maryland Cookies. Especially the chocolate orange one.

Technically not even the same badge. I only noticed during the week that the weird Prepared in different font to the AVFC was removed at some point.

Just put my vote in for the round one. I don't know why we need that pathetic star (be ok if it was above badge)and I would have liked prepared to return but I guess we aren't prepared for sod all these days apart from defeats.

"Prepared" meant bugger-all. Emery is the first manager in an age who looks like he will follow that notion.

We have the most beautiful name in the world and it should always be part of our visual identity.

When you are getting smashed week after week the last thing I want on our badge is prepared. Our level of preparedness will show in the results. Not the badge.

It got an update in about  2015 I think.

Both are an improvement on the current one.
Think the lion needs to rotate clockwise a bit, looks like it’s about to fall over backwards.
And probably would also look better with a smaller lion on the gaslight option

Quite like both, surprisingly, but voted for number 2. Love the richness of the claret and blue and there is a depth and warmth to the badge now that the insipid Lerner badge didn’t have.

I don’t like either, so won’t be voting. The whole spiel about why the lion is facing the wrong way is purely to justify some creative’s extortionate bill.

Utter bollocks.

I’ve voted for the round one but only because it’s better than the current one and the other option of a lion trapped in a 3D box.
The lion being the wrong way round is just weird right now, like catching a glimpse of someone you know well in a mirror, but the more we see it we’ll get used to that.
I don’t think the typography is strong enough and looking at it alongside the other round PL badges it’s not as well designed or as strong as either Leicester or Man City.
Liverpool’s is a mess, a camel.
Spurs, although putting the club name underneath spoils it, is by far the slickest stand alone design that works really well on kit and merchandise etc - yet gets overpowered when viewed in a head to head with quite a few others because it’s so slim. It’s more company logo than a badge I suppose.
Football badges worldwide are generally pretty poor though, so we’ll be no worse than most.

You can vote for no change at all.
