Crest Review

[Smirker]

It irks me every time I look at it.

Even on the bench gear Emery sometimes wears during the match.

The standalone one on his suit jacket (facing the right way) is much better.

Its got the star on it though. Which makes it look even worse than the crest.

I want a badge.

The latest from the club is that there will be another crest review because….

Subsequent to the previous consultation process, the results of which currently adorn the 2023/24 playing and training kits, the club has been assessing the impact of the change from local, global and commercial perspectives and have concluded that the current crest has not had the impact which had been hoped when it was introduced.


Maybe having 2 fucking badges and watering down the impact of the new one is the reason it hasn’t registered ?

No fear , we are going to be consulted on it ..... again !!

Now - how to word a survey so everyone picks a stand-alone lion?

We dust ourselves off and we go again. (vom)

If they know the end from the beginning and have their preferred badge lined up and simple wish to make us believe we voted for it, at least make it a stonker.

Yeah the same sort of survey they used to carry out on Family Fortunes. What irks me most about the Club and it's communications with the fans is that they treat us like idiots by vomiting out rubbish like the above, hiding their intentions for things like the HS and claiming that we actually requested that we pay more in order to receive better facilities like Terrace View.

It's condescending, disingenuous and insulting.

I'd wager that Heck doesn't like the badge and saw a wasted commercial opportunity with ST access to the HS. Fair do's, he's in charge, just be fucking honest about it.

"...planning to re-engage with supporters to explore options for the selection of a permanent new-look crest ahead of the club’s 150th anniversary next year."

What exactly do they think will make this one any more "permanent" than any of the other ones that have been changed at the whim of a new bloke in charge?

[Villan82]

I am delighted with everything at Villa. Except Heck, I don't care much for him and quite frankly it doesn't sit well with me how things have gone, see the new badge, since he arrived.

[pablo_picasso]

My views on this situation haven't changed from earlier in the thread, but again, these new people in charge treat us like morons.

Not sure how they could tell the impact of the current circular crest in the 37 seconds that Heck decided he didn't want it as soon as he joined the club, meaning we have two crests at the same time that are creatively linked by nothing other than time, so that explanation is nothing more than lots of words to say the grand total of fuck all.

Hopefully they create the 3rd new crest in 2 years (4 if they do a 150th edition) that is decent.

Because if it is to be the latest "permanent" one, it has to be better than the shit he helped create for his basketball team...

It might not matter to everyone, but it does matter to some of us...


(Edit- Good point) 👍

The lerner crest didn’t even manage to include Aston Villa…

[ChicagoLion]
