Looks like a shit tattoo on someone wearing a Chang Beer vest, at a rubbish full moon party,  'finding themselves' on a Thai island.
and how would you know that?

I have a great mental image now of a tattooed, mulleted Axl.

If we go down the US style


I actually think that's pretty good.  I would personally prefer a more traditional full lion rampant but if we go down the abstract route that's pretty well executed (facing other way obs)

PaulE talked about taking aspects of a badge.  I could see a full lion rampant in this style with the ability to use the head alone as required.

With all of this said, if anything goes to a public vote against an 82 badge, the latter will always win.

This was from earlier in the thread





And my attempt with an awful off-the-shelf lion



Also found a do-it-yourself logo maker which gave me this:

It's very MLS but peugeots logo could work in Gold on the home shirt.

I got the new shirt today and when I looked in the mirror I noticed that the lion is the right way round!

What did you think of the quality and fit?

Well, just the few, easily hidden tattoos!

As for the mullet, I'm warming to the idea. Particularly as on Monday, a student (who I've now decided to fail for saying something so mean) told me I look like Jack Grealish. Anything would be an upgrade on that.

Has definitely put a dampener on the week.


Oh, and Chicago, I've been amongst them :D

Ingesting as many mushrooms as possible was the only way to tolerate such a situation.

I guessed that mate.

Some one saying you look like Greasy is a low blow, should be expelled.

Ha! I did point out that I don't have greasy hair, to which they replied, 'same face' 😂

A very low blow indeed.

About the rebrand (from March)

https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/13-march-17-march-2023/aston-villa-fc-rebrands-dragon-rouge/

'...Aston Villa FC is the first club to rebrand under new FA and Premier League guidelines, which state that fans must be part of the consultation process for any major changes to club crests and colours. King says that consulting fans was crucial: “We used different fan groups at key moments”. '

The Thai reference goes a long way, since the blue part looks like an elephant climbing upwards
