I think the closest example would be the current premier league branding. The lion head is the primary icon - but used in loads of different ways, colours, text etc.

But now, even on its own, it is a recognisable icon/badge/logo/crest... Compared to either the new wrong-facing lion or even lerner's MS Paint abomination it is light-years away as an identity.

Just seen the latest Roma shirt, with just the wolf’s head used as the badge, and it works well.

There's a historical connection between the city and the wolf, though, so they're lucky to have that to use as it's universally, historically known, and it allows them to 'claim' the city as theirs.

Wouldn't mind a similar approach with the lion, but our problem is going to be that lions get used by way more organisations (than wolves, say) so there's a risk of it getting 'lost'.

All they need now is to make Paulo Di Canio the club ambassador and they’re all set.

The fascist but NOT a racist, according to him.

Top few look OK individually. But still rubbish on the kit.

Watching the pre-season bore yesterday it just highlighted how absolutely pathetic this shared badge season is. The round one on the shirts but the old ridiculous shield flashing up on the screen. What a mess

Nothing from Heck either yet, we need answers
