Crest Review

[Risso]

“The new crest on the kit allows us to look forward to the exciting season ahead of us on the pitch, while the existing shield reminds us of our roots and where we came from. “Proud history, bright future”as our recent motto accurately described Aston Villa’s current ambitions. Just as Unai’s team displays flexibility on the pitch, the choice of crest allows us flexibility in the marketing space.”

What absolute tripe just like their reasoning for ticket price rises

You only stop by when the house is on fire. Strange.

If you'd run a poll with two badges, the proper badge and the arse about face one, the result would have been a lot different. Maybe he realises that.

"The existing shield reminds us of our roots and where we came from." What the fuck are they talking about?

I've just signed up for the membership, with the promise of a nice water bottle and pin badge with the new crest on. Is the merchandise staying the same, or will there be merchandise with the new logo. This really is a shambles, just stick a stand alone lion on the stadium facia, and digital media.

That's the only way I see this as being positive, I doubt it though.

If it ended up being the actual old 80s badge minus the star (colours more vibrant and modernised) vs the new round one we have now then fair enough.

The 'proper badge' reminds me of the buffoon Randy Lerner and how he relegated a club that was ever present in the top flight since 1988.

Lol the existing shield reminds us how we were owned by two clowns, got relegated and almost went out of business.

I think by proper, Dave is referring to the original 80s one?

Apologies if so. But it isn't the proper 80s one we are going to be seeing on digital, the merch or the stands is it, it's the horrid Lerner one

No I know, but I think his point is the 180 is because he might want to change it to the original 80s one. Dunno, maybe I read it wrong.

[Drummond]

I also noticed they mention the crest and the "kit moniker".... I mean what?

[dave.woodhall]

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I meant the lion the proper way round and that it shows how easily a vote can be manipulated.

Maybe we'll get to vote on a new badge each season, to go with our new kit each season. That might be fun.
