I don’t think this is about the way the lion faces, I think it’s about a round badge being dated.

I hope they go for a stand alone lion.

Exactly this
Exactly!

For the lads who are in favour of just the lion, I made this on FIFA a couple of years ignore. Ignore the little prick modelling it.



I used the lion from the current Lerner badge but you get the point. I think gold or light blue in the home shirt and claret on the away.

Then obviously use the badge for media and whatever else.

I like the 1956 badge a lot. I'd take that too. Tbh there's about 5 I'm fine with.

Good work Smirker!
A bit on the big side but to me that looks simple, bold and instantly recognisable...with AV or AVFC underneath, as in late 60s/early 70s?
I love the 1956 one too, probably for the same reasons as above but also because it's what we wore when I first started going to games.

Thanks guys. Yes I think claret and a gold lion instantly looks like Villa. Others may disagree. But just my opinion.

You could alternate between gold and blue. Plenty of options.

Just to gauge the mood on here I think.

It would look silly upside down though.

The lion facing right is Ok until you put it on the left side of the shirt… then from a compositional point of view it looks wrong to me (as a photographer) because it’s facing outward rather than in to the centre of the body. It was fine with Johnnie Walker turning right as the label is central.

Already had a vote, the fans spoke but the club are now looking to pull rank so what's the point of another vote.

From Crest Review Topic...
Job done. Now you just have to create a poll for supporters about whether they like this version or the one with the lion the wrong way round. I reckon 77% will prefer this one…

Not a bad guess given 59.2+9.9 = 69.1% for left-facing lion (with/without star). 71 votes thus far.

Only former winners of the European Cup are entitled to place a star in their badge, denoting how many times they have won said trophy. Why on earth would we not wish to show our greatest moment for all to see,

When did Huddersfield win it three times?
