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. The overwhelming response on Twitter from Villa fans is that it's shit.So if it’s only overwhelming then agree with me then that it hasn’t united everyone. I think the overwhelming response on Twitter is that it could have been better or different. Better is so ambiguous. Your or my "better" is not everyone else's. If we win a trophy with that badge it will become a favourite. As will the shirt. I agree entirely. I'm in the it could be better camp. I am sure I could come up with something I would like and others might also, but expecting there to be those who don't like it. My position is that it's just a shame that after the "consultation" that was meant to have taken place this is what they arrived at. But yes, the football supercedes it all.

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.
Have a look at what you could've won:
It's alright. Pretty similar to what we've got.
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.

No offense mate but that's bollocks (not the bit about your choices)The reason we don't shift merchandise like the others is because we've been a crap football team for ages.We could have Mickey Mouse pulling off Pluto for a badge and if we won the league you'd have kids up and down the country proudly sporting it.

Sporting success and successful brand identity go hand in hand. I’ve got no idea whether the New York Yankees or Chicago Bulls are any good at the moment, but their merchandise is everywhere. Having a clear, bold visual identity is key. I wrote previously that I haven’t really bought any merchandise since the Lerner crest came in. If I’m like that as an ardent fan, what must the casual fan be like?

My position is that it's just a shame that after the "consultation" that was meant to have taken place this is what they arrived at. But yes, the football supercedes it all.The real shame is that the first consultation, ie the one that chose the round badge, was more of an actual consultation than this one, which appears to have been chosen by Heck, and prsented to the FAB as a fait accompli.I don't really care this way or that way about the details of it, but what does bother me is the lingering feeling we're being taken for idiots (see that statement through the Trust last week).
