Crest Review

That star has to go.

Yep. It will always look silly where it is, it will always look like a toy being played with being so close to the paw.

I really like the version on the blazer, replace 1874 with Aston Villa and I'd be very happy with that on the shirts.

Next season I want that lion, with just 150 underneath it. Simple and classy.

That was my vote right from the start of the process.  No star though.

I had a play around with the crest to edit a few of the things that have bothered me since it was released.

(Ignore the colours & the roughness of some of the edges. I had to use a shitty free piece of software & my fingers. Plus, I am colourblind, so without eye dropper or the colour codes, I am fumbling in the dark. But the overall feel is here...)

Thoughts?

The badge on the Scotland shirt tonight looks really good and would be good for us.

This (or the current Dutch effort) is closer to what I'd have hoped for.

Anybody still trying to claim its historic or acceptable to change the way the rampant lion faces should have a look at the Scotland shirt tonight and think about why we have the lion on our crest!

[tomd2103]

Think it looks really good to be honest and like the way it's done.

I do wonder about the one picture there is of our old shirt with the lion facing the wrong way whether the photo had been reversed when it was developed. I can't imagine the Scottish element of the club would get it so wrong??

Last night's scotland shirt was clearly much better than the team.

I liked the Scotland shirt too.  A retro classic, bet it sells well.

[dr.chekov]

Yeah, it was as lovely as a dark blue football shirt can be.

Yeah, it was as lovely as a dark blue football shirt can be.

A lovely shirt but two little niggles for me. I think the white neckline is too thick, and the sleeve cuffs would look better in plain white rather than the thin blue and white hoops.

I've always been convinced its mirror image and was just used as an excuse. It's obvious why the rampant lion is on Villa's crest.

I agree on both counts, particularly the sleeve cuffs.
