Quote from: LeeB on January 04, 2024, 02:24:08 PMName me a football club that became more successful because they designed a better badge.A new badge/identity isn’t about becoming successful; its about perceived image “locally, globally and commercially”, and the financial impact of each of those (whether it be merchandise sales from local fans, being more attractive to football fans from around the world, or creating new partnerships). As a simple example, I would like to spend money on Villa merchandise but I haven’t done so for years because I dislike the badge and associated merchandise…and this is one of the reasons why Villa have struggled with this side of the business for so long compared to other clubs of similar stature.

But no one badge seems to unite everyone which is probably to be expected.
Does anyone even know what the Real Madrid badge looks like? I don't, and it doesn't matter because I know how many European Cups they've won.

On here maybe. I bet there are people who like it or don’t particularly care. I don’t think you’re going to get a protest down at the gates if this is what we end up with.

I think the overwhelming response on Twitter is that it could have been better or different.

If we win a trophy with that badge it will become a favourite. As will the shirt.
