Crest Review

Would still eat them in one sitting

Surely the thread should re-named Crisp Review?

Until it very randomly changes to biscuits or sauce.

Please keep crisps where they belong, in the MOTD thread.

There was a big banner in the centre circle with the AV 150 badge before the game last night.  Read it somewhere and heard them say it last night that we were the first club to reach the 150th milestone.  That's not right is it?

First ‘big’ club. Forest, Stoke and Notts County all older league clubs.

"Rangers" celebrated theirs 2 years ago although there are a few older ones in Scotland e.g. Queen's Park, Kilmarnock, Dumbarton.

Down south, Reading were founded in 1871 which always seems an odd one.

… and Sheffield Wednesday

The funny one is Crystal Palace trying to claim that they’re the oldest league club because there was a Crystal Palace Club that existed from 1861. The fact that this club didn’t play any fixtures and weren’t registered with the FA after 1876, and Crystal Palace Football Club weren’t formed until 1905, hasn’t put them off.

fucking hell, its moan central on here
The club will never do anything right, will it ?

That's what I was thinking. It's a logo that'll be less than a square inch on the back of the neck of the shirt and folk are losing their collective shit about it.

I think the 150th logo without the circle is alright as it happens. Doesn't offend me anyway, and it weirdly seems to get more legible at smaller sizes (which is good since I expect it'll mostly be in small form, on clothing tags and the like).

I saw that too but didn't give it any credence.

I had a dream last night that DW posted the new crest on here and it was a rose instead of a lion.. a bit bizarre, but was facing left, if that's possible for a rose.

I'm sure sharing a crest with the England rugby team would prove very popular on here (even if theirs faces right).
