Crest Review

[Hookeysmith]

If they intend to delay the new stand, not a bad idea considering how we are doing to reduce capacity would be disasterous, then did we not win the Euro fixtures based on having a 50K+ stadium?

So no development of the North Stand then.
How will this impact on the Euros?

I watched the video interview and he refers to it as the "150 mark" or something like that. Its kind of not very clear what he's saying about the 150th but he does mention the new crest being almost ready and expects it to be unveiled in a couple of weeks.

Some other interesting things, sounds like plans for the North stand are on hold. Lots of redevelopment of hospitality, club shop, and Bodymoor over the summer instead.

Sounds like new kit suppliers too, but that's open to interpretation.

Was mentioned a lot about the fans being put first. Re new badge said fan consultations happening etc etc So question is, do we know anyone who has actually been consulted on this? New badge out in a couple of weeks it seems

Also, we know about consulting on badge designs, because, well, we consulted on the one you've just binned, Chris.

Have Daesh started up again?

Ha! It certainly looks that way. Either that or the Cornetto design team get their first job since 1959.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to apologise to my eyes for inflicting that logo/badge/crest on them.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It seems obvious now that whoever has been shortlisting, selecting and briefing the design agency hasn't got a fucking clue.

[pauliewalnuts]

Jesus fucking Christ, what in the holy fuck is that supposed to be?

[pauliewalnuts]

Have Daesh started up again?

That's what I thought, looks like a Villa themed ISIS flag.

All this could be so easily resolved if we just adopted the Punjabi Villans' badge.

There would still be arguments over the star

Reminds me of this

Casement Park in Ireland is 30k, so I don't think us maintaining a 42k capacity will scupper our chances.

The star works on that badge.

If that is the "real badge" that is absolutely horrendous

If that is the "real badge" that is absolutely horrendous

It isn't the badge, it's some piece of 150th anniversary branding.
