Crest Review

[Whiney MacWhineface]

Just shown the cat the badge options. Raise a paw once for the shield version and twice for the round one.

She raised a paw twice, so round it is. Then I asked her if she cared which direction the lion faced. She gave me an old-fashioned look and marched off to do some serious cleaning of her rear end.

[Sexual Ealing]

So she faced in the opposite direction?!

Just get rid of the twatting star.

🎼 I was born under a twatting star...🎼

Just get rid of the twatting star.

It is nice to know other people are as wound up by it as I am.

I had a discussion with a fan once on Twatter and they said regarding the EC win and star "we should embrace it not shy away from it".

Its like banging your head against a wall speaking with some fans.

We really should have gone with the hippo.

With the hula hoop? It was mint.

I'm not as fundamentally opposed to the star as lots of people. But I don't think we've found a way to incorporate it that doesn't look shit, so in my opinion, we should go without.

How did people react when the 90s 'striped' crest was revealed?

[Des Little]

I’d like to know who these pro-star folk are. I’ve never met one, so I’m intrigued as to where they found them during the focus groups.

That’s where I am, too.
 The star certainly bother me as much as it does some, but, I’d leave  it out and bring it back for when we return to European competition.

That's a great idea! As a statement of intent, the star only really makes sense at European competition level.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Would love for somebody to collate how many distinct opinions have emerged here and social media since the crest was unveiled and how many separate designs it would equate to.  Just to underline why such things as designers exist.

We obviously hired shit designers then. Come back Randy Lerner with his box of crayons.

How did people react when the 90s 'striped' crest was revealed?

With deep cynicism. It was dismissed as an Ellis attempt to get people to replace every bit of merchandise they owned. We were quite an overly-paranoid bunch.

[Dr Butler]

I like the round one and they need to dump the star and strangely the lamp one has grown on me, am I right in saying that the "lamp" design would be unique as a badge ? does any other team have such a design ??

if so then a unique lamp badge for a unique football club(less the star unless we are in europe).

In reality It’s just an alternative shield shape with catchy PR but I thought it looked distinctive in the line up against other teams crests / badges so voted for it after always expecting to go round.
