Haven't had one either.

The survey looks as if it can only be taken/entered by those with a FAN ID - if you don't have one  you don't seem to be getting the email.

Restrictive and discriminatory?

Not at all.  I wouldn't want fans who don't have a fan ID voting on it, otherwise it would be hijacked by Smallheath trolls.

Why should you have to have a fan ID?
Not having one doesn't make me any less a fan.
Been attending since 1956 and followed the club through the dark days of Div 3, so why can't I have a say?


Look at the badge from the early 70s.
Plain lion rampant facing left with AVFC beneath.

The same would be good, or alternately with either Prepared or 1874 below would be my choice.

The message you responded to explained exactly why it would be stupid to open it up to anyone.

No fucking gas lamp.

As I mentioned previously, it was done very intelligently that it would woosh straight over your head, Drummond. ;)

Erm, still is?

I just responded to the survey with a very clear message on it, hadn't noticed your very subtle point (and wasn't responding to it, sorry!)

If it’s a shield, so be it, but I’d have preferred circular.
My requirements.

Must contain.

Aston Villa F.C
Prepared
1874
Lion facing left
Predominantly claret and blue (stupid question)
I like a star.
Sounds like you want an incredibly busy badge.  Would look very dated.

Finally got the email late last night. I said:

No shield, just a stand-alone lion, Which is facing to the left, with no star.

You need to confirm your year or birth to validate it, so that should prevent any knuckledragger interference.

Club have really dropped a bollock on this crest malarkey haven't they?
Genuine question, would my 5 year old fan ID still be usable?

I would vote for the hippo with ACR 2013 underneath it ;)

Finally filled out.

They really want to use a shield, don't they...

Roma have a standalone wolf as their crest on their kits this season. clean, simple, looks great.

Surely football fans from around the globe would confuse it with our more illustrious and period dressed neighbours?
