I am starting to think I’d put up with a vertically stacked bollocks design at this point purely as it would be the end of the entire crest drama.

I wish they’d just say “here it is” and crack on with stuff.

I concur with this, it’s dragged on too long, due to exec changes and seemingly needing to put it to a vote. Sod voting or letting supporters have a choice, we’ve been consulted we’ve given our views now get on with it.

Badgegate has gone on long enough.

Of course, some of us liked the circle badge introduced last year and have, eh, mixed views on the way Heck has ditched it. And, if this season continues as it started, and ends up being our best since about 1995-96, it will be even more difficult to accept that the new round badge was only a one season wonder

Worth remembering, the only reason they are involving supporters in this in any way is because PL rules force them to.

Is that the real Chris Heck? If it is, I think it's bloody awful, can't tell what it's supposed to be/say.

I was getting a flashback to Farah trousers with that logo

With a more chocolatey claret.

Looks very traditional.

V looks like a U
150 needs to be more clearly defined.

Don't mind the overall style - will this used on the shirt?

Well. I suppose if you must do a one off it may as well be different, but…. :/

Also if we are going Cadbury on y’all, presumably it’s a heads up to kit colour too?

Hopefully a pre-cursor to the no brainer Lion on its own which seems so obvious it’s barely worth stating.
