Club Badge (merged)

Prefer the old badge.

 

[Tricky Dickys Right Foot Shot]

The old badge is iconic but if we were to have it now it would look too out dated!

I like the badge we have now even with the meaningless decoration 3 stars and eagle it looks like your modern club crest..... it could have ended up much worse.

 

[hateutd]

I just don't like new badge,and the stars......What about this?

 

[seventeen hands]

Need to update the badge, so many elements on our current one , need a simpler and sleeker design.

 

[Blue Pete]

Leave it as it is, don't want to pay for another tattoo

 

[green pennies]

From the perspective of a newer fan from abroad who has only ever known the badge with the eagle, I thought some of you lifers would be pleased to hear that I also find the old badge to be a thing of absolute beauty that is vastly superior to the one we currently use. True fans, whether old or new, come to love the club for all that it is, and our history is a part of that, whether you had to research and absorb it second hand, or whether you experienced it from the Kippax with your own eyes. There will be no "confusion" or mental dissonance in the case of a new badge (and you wouldn't want the type of fans that would be jolted by such a thing anyway). Were we to go with one of the Geekin Gav type designs, I'd be very pleased - a nod to our history, a more sleek design pallette, and the abolition of the hideous nike shield on the kits; what's not to love?

 

[CitizenTID]

You all assume a badge change back to a circular design would lose the Nike shield?

I can hear their evil laughs already at Nike Football design HQ...

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Let's get our I.D back,instead of that daft bird.

 

[aguero93:20]

I like the badge as it is.

 

[HamannCheese]

I'd say incorporate the bird. After all, it's been with us during our recent history. It is a part of our history now.

Im hoping no one has beaten me to the punch but hands up who really liked the old round badge and wishes it would come back to replace the Kappa designed one?

In the event that you're not asking out of idle curiosity: for my part, I'd be thrilled with a return to (a variation of) the previous badge.

All things considered, this post is a perfect example of a loaded question.

 

[Bewar3them00n]

While this is a truly wonderful badge, I don't mind the new incarnation, also, our current owners might have issue with the Templer-style cross and it's crusader connections, the bird of prey / falcon is quite common among Gulf states

This is definitely the badge for me. Beautiful

 

[Stuuuuuu]

I'd like something akin to the old circular badge, but not in the cartoony style of the one you all keep posting. It's a bit too Oldham Athletic for me. It should look more serious; not cartoony.

I've just had a very quick play at a modern/old badge

Don't like it, too bland.

Are we a Communist club now?

Modifying the colours to match the shirt is an excellent idea in my opinion. What does the star represent?

Communist China.

Communist China.

I for one welcome our new communist Chinese overlords. May we enjoy years of prosperity together. Give me one week to choose which child I'm keeping, and best wishes on a successful season.
