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.

Errrrrr

Ha!  That would have been the shittest badge ever!!

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.
I think they knocked the lamp up following negative feedback from the initial fan consultation group. After getting them to draw it up I guess they felt obliged to put it through.

I'd have chosen the other one but eitherway this new one is still infinitely 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.

I think if the stand alone lion, that was shown a page or so back, had been a choice it would have won.
Makes me wonder if the club wanted the round one so put in a weaker opponent 😂

I agree, that stand-alone lion looked great, I hope it's something they're still willing to use at times.

I think the new one would have been perfect and beautiful without the star.

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.

If we were going to copy anyone, I'd like to think we'd at least copy a club with an ounce of class and decency about them (i.e. not fucking Chelsea).

And why does their lion have a walking stick? Is it something to do with the Chelsea pensioners that nobody ever mentions anymore?

They clearly based the stand alone lion and font on my effort in June: 

Stand-alone" border="0

But faced it the wrong way.  >:(

I remain an amateur designer.

The blue stand alone lion (with the extra detailing) and Aston villa above as per the white lion (facing either way) is what I wanted, I think that looks fantastic.

Ours doesn't look like it's doing a fucking pole dance.
