Crest Review

[edgysatsuma89]

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

Where is that from? That outside line is red. Hmmm.

Looks like a shit knock off. Or the real thing. Take your pick. Take away that useless shadow and if the colours were right, while not exactly ace it’s not totally horrific.

Dan Bardell* said that at the FAB meeting when they showed the badge, it was done so in an impressive sort of video presentation, which again suggests there was zero actual consultation planned at that point.

Like i said before, I don't mind them choosing this badge or that badge, that can be a bit perturbing yes, but it is the general, increasing feeling that they're playing us for idiots that bothers me.

The reveal video, the trademark application, the bullshit about the initial new badge, the North Stand - this stuff all adds up.

Imagine what this would be like if we weren't doing so well on the pitch? They probably reckon they could get a new two-bollocks blue and white crest through if they wanted. They're kings of the world.

Looks pretty horrific to me. It's even worse than the original Lerner one.

If we actually had any official merchandise where the badge looked that horrific, it would be, well, horrific.

If that's real then it is, as I suspected, far worse on the shirt than the print version (which was already bad). Yellow on blue is shit and the shadow just makes it look blurry. Just as bad the red is completely wrong (and not remotely close to claret).

Do you think the kit will have an embroidered badge again or stick with nasty iron-on or rubber ones?

As I said, take away the shadow and make the colours right it’s a cleaner looking badge. A gold lion on a blue background. As it is yeh it’s pretty amateur looking. And we all know every badge will have those who like it and those who don’t. That’s never going away.

Not sure how that combination of criticisms escapes the description 'horrific', TV?

[Risso]

So take away the stuff that makes it horrific, and it won't be horrific any more. Well OK then!

[chrisw1]

It could well be a fake, I got it off twitter.

Exactly. A whole new badge. Job done.

[SamTheMouse]

I'd rather keep the current one, tbh. It's cack, but at least I'm used to it now. Making a whole palaver about changing and then plumping for something so similar is guaranteed to get my miserable-middle-aged-fucker-o'meter dinging like an ice-cream van.

[Archbishop Herbert Cockthrottle]

Just think on 25th May this year as John McGinn lifts the FA Cup, there will be a collective "what a shit badge" yelled at the TV in varying languages over seven continents.

Aye, that image is like when I wear an old pair of glasses. Right down to the same sort of headache.
