Crest Review

And having just seen it on the Official App, it looks so much better than the current one.

Fair enough.  Pissed off about the cleverclogs who suggested the twatting lamp design that took the place of the very sensible stand alone lion, but the outcome was all very predictable from the moment it was announced.

FWIW I think the final design is better than any fan versions I saw, save for the star (another fan led error), the strange decision to turn it round and maybe not including 1894.

New one has: better lion, better representation of our colours now, contains our full name, is a nod to our history and is looking to the future. They did quite well with this.

The negativity here simply baffles me.

I can only assume 2% is spoiled ballots/votes. Maybe

Errrrrr

The percentages do make sense. Everyone had to vote for one of the two options, and their respective scores add up to 100%. Regardless of how you voted in the first bit, you were also allowed to specify whether you'd rather keep the current badge and 8% chose to do so. That's a separate question.

They have worded it so it looks like 108% of people voted, though.

Errrrrr

It was 98% of the 2 choices on offer I assumed

It wasn't a three way vote though. It was one of the two new designs, *or* keep with the old. So I think it's of the people who voted to change (ie 92% of everybody who voted), 77% went for the rounds, and 23% for the lantern. Just badly worded I think.

I assumed TV was doing a play on 110%, turns out he's just shit at maths!

I think it'll look great when we see it on a new kit next summer.  It's miles better than the current rubbish, which just reminds me of countless years of underachievement and missed opportunities.

Thank the lord we didn't end up with that lantern clusterfuck. Design was all over the place...

Most fans wouldn't see the connection with the lamp, and it just looks like a shite shield (or the silhouette of Doctor Who's tardis!). What we've ended up with is a modern take of the badge from our most successful era, that isn't anywhere near as cluttered as 'the other round badges', whilst also ditching the majority of that insipid yellow!

V happy with that. Also, not bothered by the direction of the lion - My only complaint is that ridiculously placed star!

[Pete3206]

I've said this before but I cannot believe that after all the consultation, the lamp rubbish was an actual option. The decision was already made when they published that video.

Yeah, I reckon you're right.

Amount of shite on Twitter etc about us copying Chelsea. Ignoring that we were using the lion 20 years before Chelsea were even formed. 1900s wankers.
