Crest Review

Reported? That sounds like  nonsense to find an excuse to do what they’ve done.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t give a shit if they have changed their minds but it’s funny how people have now decided the vote was a sham and the badge that was chosen is rubbish.

Serious question - you reckon there will be more or less supporter interaction when we unveil our new new badge?

Ask the people who attended the supporter meeting. I’m sure Woodhall has said that. We got two badges through “consultation” both with a star. Which suggests the star was unanimous. Was it?

It's Mr Woodhall to you.

What? Easy there. You’re not my boss. This is an internet fans forum not the boardroom of a company.

It's not a democracy either.

They decided to change the badge.

They gave us the chance to vote in an poll, which may or may not have been psephologically sound.

They announced the winner.

The CEO left and a new commercial guy came in and stopped it.

It’s that simple. It’s even understandable.

What I don’t get or understand is a few people determined to find some more palatable, scientific reason for it whilst throwing in that the badge isn’t right all of a sudden as some sort of excuse.

There’s no need for TV to twist in the wind finding excuses. They decide the badge. They changed their mind. We now have a confusing mess but that is really it.

There won’tbe any mass polls next time around.

You are pointing out the lack of supporter alignment as a problem on this so you tell me, end of this season when we see the new badge, do you reckon the fans will have more of a chance to get ‘aligned’ on it compared to the vote we had?

I don’t remember you mentioning any of this at the time of the vote.

Now you’ve decided it’s all wrong - the badge is wrong, the supporters were not aligned, the vote was fixed yada yada.

It looks to me like you’re basically clawing around for some sort of retrospective reason to not use the one that was chosen.

The new commercial director doesn’t like it. That’s fair enough, all this “OMG the badge is shit and the vote was flawed” stuff is absolute nonsense.

I recall pretty much universal positivity for it at the time 

This guy certainly liked it.

I really like the new badge and for me the direction of the lion is facing the correct way. To me facing left is looking back. And aside from a couple of notable bright spots in the past 40 years (FORTY), we need to start looking to forward. Onwards. upwards and to the right with Unai.

Where have I ever said the new badge is wrong? I actually don’t mind it at all. I commented on the original Lerner badge being shit. And I have said my overall position on badges as a subject is that I don’t really care that much. That will always be my position. Did you really dig up a badge post of mine from March to prove a point. You bored?

No I just find your backtracking to be in line with the club easy to dismantle and fundamentally flawed.

It’s allowed to disagree with the club you know. It doesn’t make you less of a supporter.

What’s that got to do with anything? I’ve voluntarily contributed to the upkeep of this site for years. I’m not calling you Mr Woodhall unless that’s the same for everyone. Kick me off if you’re insulted or feel though you have to.

What am I backtracking on? In fact regards to the badge I have been one of the least critical.

How about taking something in the hilariously light-hearted spirit in which it was intended?

[Toronto Villa]

Fucking hell this badge issue is fucking boring. As I said the other day this is such a nothing else is going on in the summer subject. I’ve said before it’s a badge that I’m glad they stopped when they did to fix it for the future. And nobody outside our supporters even care now or will care in the future.

Hard to always know with you. But seeing as you have indicated that, then I retract what I’ve said.

[dave.woodhall]

Thank you. I rarely show my light side but this was one such occasion. Expect another around 2029. 

[VILLA MOLE]

Come on guys relax. this should be a fun thread where is the hippo when we need it

[Toronto Villa]

Hey no worries Dave. Actually through this it reminded me it was probably time to donate again!!

[pablo_picasso]

At the very least, both of our current crests are better than Kempston Rovers F.C.

So we can be thankful for that at the very least... 😂👍

I was there from the start and the vote was every much a sham as the one that gave us the Lerner badge 1.0.

It’s kind of beside the point.

The electorate for the next new badge is going to consist of one person.

Anyone who thinks there is going to be more “supporter alignment” is going to be sorely disappointed.

I'm not sure if you mean any more, or increased from last time, but there has to be some according to Premier League rules.

Blimey Dave, that's a bit soon.  Can we not have a bit more of a lead-in time please?
