Claret and blue complement each other brilliantly. There's no reason for a yellow lion. Or any yellow at all, really.
I think the whole fan consultation thing is just a handy way for the club to do whatever they like. This relatively small site is proof that a group of people will never agree on things like this. Get a couple of thousand involved and you're unlikely to get any sort of unanimous decisions.
They haven't kept the Lerner badge.

I think that pretty astute to be honest. I don't expect the new badge to be objectively better than Lerner's "design by commitee" effort.

It's amazing to me that everyone who was at it has apparently seen at least a mock up of it, and none of them have spilled any specific details. Although I suppose there's a limited number of people to point the finger at if anything did leak, and they could have their access to these things cut off.

Claret on blue, or blue on claret. Strong contrast.However, from a design perspective, yellow or gold on a claret background has fantastic contrast & gives a rich, historic feel.Yellow or gold on light blue however, the contrast is shit, the yellow is washed out & feels faded against the tone of the background. This has a cheap feel to it.
If someone tells me something in confidence I tend not to repeat it, both out of courtesy and also because there's no point in alienating future souces. As we've always said on here, anyone who claims to be ITK and makes confidential information public won't get any more of it.
I bet it's shit.Then we'll have to do a Leeds/Everton and get it changed back.There really is no reason not to use the current one, as in the one on the shirts this season.This is Lerner's fault imo. There was no need to change the crest when he came in.

There was no need to change the crest when he came in. The Ellis-era stripey shield monstrosity needed to go (in my humble opinion) - whenever I see it it reminds me of the frustrations of those years and the mediocrity that Ellis brought to everything he touched.
