I don’t need a round badge or a star to go on about something that happened before I was born to make me feel better. 😏😎 - I included both as I couldn’t remember which was the sign off.

Apparently the young people went for the star in a big way. I don't trust young people.

Including a star was becoming more popular around then (England started to do it, Man United and Liverpool did it on their European shirts) and I think it was following a trend. The older ones generally want it gone now. The youngsters generally want to keep it and won't hear otherwise. I'd fall into the younger bracket BTW. Well I might do. Dunno. I can't remember the last trophy win if that helps.
Don't think much of the new badge on the ticketing pages of Pravda.
I'd have been happy with a star above the (correct) round badge back in the Lerner era and now. Even if it was just for Euro games. But shoehorning it in to the actual badge always looked a bit cack.

I'm not actually sure what our present badge is, the new one is on the shirts although the old Lerner one is still throughout the match programme yesterday, on the scoreboards and on Sky/MOTD.
I think that the boards that Emery sits in front of in his pressers, as well as the large stand alone lion flags that the ballboys/girls waved yesterday give a strong indication that we'll be going down that route next season.

The new badge is on trial for a season on the kit only. They're clearly planning to backtrack on it.
