Crest Review

[Risso]

Well they're better, but using my many years of finely honed graphic artistry*, I've got rid of the star and the 1874. Reposition the lion a bit more centrally, and it's a good badge.

The 1874 looks odd, other than that it's decent. I'd prefer no star but plenty like it so it doesn't bother me that much. Main thing is that the lion is facing the correct way and looks like a lion.

Agreed. The gold one is ten times nicer than the yellow one though, so hope that's what's going on the kit.

The lion is much better.  It's the same crest and same lion outline I think, just showing examples with the detailed Lerner lion.  I wonder if this was after the positive social media response to the fan-made close ups with the gold lion?

[London Villan]

The order of the elements is all wrong though - 1874 shouldn't come before our name.

The pale lion, on pale background, is still a massive issue too.

All in all, it’s not bad
Certainly better than the old one, and I reckon it’s better than the current round one

Agreed.

It is an improvement.

If the lion were just a bit smaller, it'd look way less 'crowded' in there than it does now.

Hopefully this is the one they'll go with, not because it's any good or anything, but it will bring to an end one of the most tedious threads ever, and we can all go back to talking about FFP and amortisation.

Well said.

Although it can't be long now till we officially announce Adidas and all the "I done a kit design, what do you think" dullards will reappear.

[Toronto Villa]

No way. The fact that we now have a brand everyone seemed to want or a brand that won’t embarrass us when wearing it* will immediately make all the criticism go away. Because we all know these leading brands never make shit kits or designs





*they have recently made a kit for the tramps who now have Nike but don’t tell anyone

[Villan82]

Prefer the round one but Chris Heck knows best, doesn't he.

[LeeB]

Dude, has he shagged your bird or something?

It's now a bit less shit. If we keep moaning, they'll come up with something decent by the time Pau Torres is fit to start a match again. In 2026.
