Club Badge (merged)

Sounds like there's going to be too much on it but I'm witholding judgment until Boxing Day.

How much pain have cost us, the evils that have never happened

Fair point. But for me, I wanted 2 symbols maximum, ship and 3 rivers. Keep it clean, simple, iconic, with a nod to our history and identity.

The fact we have 4 confirmed symbols means it's not going to be clean and uncluttered.

Also 1894 I don't agree with. How can we hark back to Gorton St Marks and have a college called the Connell College if we are shouting about being formed in 1894?

Also I disagree with the rose. We are not in Lancashire anymore so it's completely irrelevant to the city and our future now.

So there are already "evils" that are definitely happening. My worst fear was that we were going to end up with a Melbourne style cluttered mess that had popular symbols from the questionnaire crammed in. Seems like the nightmare before xmas is about to become reality on Boxing Day.

Probably have it displayed in the centre circle at some point like the big Premier League/Champions League flag.

Possibly, but the way it was worded hinted towards there being a tifo/display specifically in the South Stand. We've been asked to avoid using flags pre-kick off, ask all our members to get in seats early etc.

Pieces of art are there to stir debate and imagination! Wait until you see it before casting judgement.

Remember, these are all 'clues', there's a high chance most of it is all nonsense and clever marketing by the club. What better way of getting a message out than stirring opinion etc.

Why don't you wait and see what it looks like?

I will, but as said I can't see it looking full of elements and uncluttered at he same time, and last I heard this was a forum to post opinions, so I can moan, complain, worry, doubt and whatever the fuck I I want until I do see it

How can you have an opinion on something you've never seen?
 
the clues could indicate that its like the Leicester City badge, with a red rose, behind an eagle, flying over a sailing ship with 3 rivers of saliva flowing from its mouth .... interpretation for ya ... shit ... shouldnt have leaked that ....
 
Really would've liked to have seen the club come up with a few different mock ups and then given us all a vote on the one we fancied the most.

Part of me has a slight dread that we could end up with an Everton scenario where we end up getting some kind of monstrosity with a wide reaction of revulsion to an eventual change in a year.

Would've been nice to have a vote.

With how quick it's all been since the survey was done part of me thinks they already had something up their sleeve anyway, for it to be this quick from consultation to unveiling is really quite surprising.

Got my fingers crossed it looks the business. Which is all that matters at the end of the day.
