Crest Review

[pauliewalnuts]

Who cares? We are 2nd in the PL, we have one of the world’s best managers, and we are and will always be the Villa.

 The badge is just a passing piece of marketing that will be forgotten in time

Errr, whilst i understand the need to look beyond this, how is the badge going to be forgotten when it's on our shirt for years and years?

Agreed, although if we have a good crest it will last for years and years, but if we have a shit one it will inevitably get replaced again in a few years, and further add to the confusing visual clutter associated with the club, and we will end up going through this same process again.

I don't want to have to drink tea out of a mug with a drop shadow on it.

Holding on to the hope that the trademarked badge is high level subterfuge.

No chance.

Hopefully it will look better on the kit and the stand-alone lion will be more widely used.  I wish they had used this seasons lion though.

In a vote with the round badge Heck's effort would lose.

A friend came up with these (amongst otherrs). He could have saved them millions 😂

They're horrific.  The worst of both worlds.  Once scaled down to shirt size the lion would be tiny.

According to Bardell and Tanswell on their podcast, next year's kits are done, have been seen and they include the new badge.

Which means that the crest was designed a long time ago & adds credence to the complaint that their "consultation" was nothing more than very light lip service to the rules that they have to do it...

On one hand, I am hoping that the FA / Premier League, or whoever is in charge of those rules tell them that they have to revert back to the circle crest cos their "consultation" was obvious bullshit & the shirts have to be done again.

The only thing that Heck will understand when it comes to making fuck ups with the fans is when it hits the profit margin he can claim for his CV.

Maybe then, he wont be such an arrogant dismissive c**t when it comes to the fans in the future.

Thats if he keeps his job after this whole fucking debacle...

Well said

I do wonder if any of this feedback is making its way up the chain to Heck and NSWE? Or even if they care?

I see no evidence they care. The tone has changed since Heck arrived.

Whisper it, but none of them ever has, at any time in our history. Not even when we chanted USA and mangled Latin at the General, or flew the Chinese flag, or named a stand after one of them, or took an interest in Wesleyan netball teams.

This was designed before they even did the survey wasn't it?
