Although I just checked and they did that in 2002, fucking hell I’m old

Wolves is an example of one that has been updated and isn’t round tbf

I like that ours has a unique shape that draws your eye to it, I'd prefer if we avoided going to a generic round shape but if we went that way it would make sense to bring elements from the older round badge we had. Perhaps we could incorporate the striped shield from our current strip for some continuity.

Aye. If the parameters are "needs to be a circle" and "needs to be less intricate" then just modernise this one.

Arsenal, Brighton, Chelsea, Leicester, City, Man United, Wolves... All teams 've rounded off the badges and even put a circle around them, like our previous shield.

Tut tut, career politicians

Yeah. They might as all wear blue. There is nothing “left” about this government and what (we hoped) we voted for. The Labour Party is losing support all over the joint. The Tories are toast which opens the door for Reform to push their agenda of “we tried it their way and it failed”. If people’s lives don’t improve over the next 4 years then I see Reform absorbing Tories and being the new Gov. Depressing shit.

I'm pretty traditional about this. I grew up with the current crest. It's the one I like and it represents me. I wish they wouldn't change it, but I understand how this works. And how changing times work. It's difficult for certain IT places to integrate the current crest because it has too many details. That said, it's funny to see how most teams now have very simple round crests... That look similar to our crest from 1976-1983. P.S.: Atlético de Madrid changed their crest in 2017 (the owners never asked the members)... But people never accepted it. They fought to get it back, and based on the rejection and the drop in sales because no one was buying anything with the new crest, they had to go back to the old one this year.

This is where we need Noelie back to hear from someone who was there at the time.

1881 is the correct date but officially it was 1882. They officially changed the name in late 1891 iirc but again, officially it was classed as 1892. I've a programme from the 80s and the club is founded in 1882 on that and also some NUFC picture I had as a kid. The first I'd heard the club mention 1892 as the official line was in 1992 which was an excuse for something to shout about for a club in the 2nd division. I did think the pre season tournament that year between us, Boro, Real Sociedad and Sporting was something to do with it but that was called the 'Newcastle Exhibition super challenge cup' apparently? I do recall a few people scratching their heads, me included at the 1892 figure because as stated, it was officially classed as 1882.

1892 is the year Newcastle East End took over the lease of Newcastle West End’s ground at Leazes Park and East End’s name was changed to Newcastle United. West End ceased to exist after that. East End were founded as Stanley FC in Byker in 1881 which would appear to be the true founding date of the club we see today. This has been pointed out a few times recently by people who wish to appear clever on the internet/football history fascists. Don’t particularly remember lots of 1892 tat being produced, only the failed share offer

I think someone on here recently said that the 1892 figure was only invented so we could sell a load of centenary tat back in 92. A bit before my time.

I can't see him.

Why is john cena on our badge?

sye, they were fucking woeful, that bad infact they'd have struggled to beat sunderland or coventry. was a frustrating evening, felt like a step forward with man city dropping points only to take a couple backwards with bournemouths no show. massive today.

Definitely twists and turns still to come this season. Man City definitely weren't dropping any more points until they couldn't beat fucking Southampton yesterday. Lose or draw today and it definitely gets harder, but it's not over by any stretch because results like Man City yesterday can happen.

Andrew Cushin: “A few months ago, I was in an Irish bar in Newcastle with some friends. Jason Tindall and a few of the players were out." “My mates and I know some of them, so we said hello. They invited us to sit with them, and a few drinks later Jason asked if I’d like to sing on stage." “The manager of the bar said it’d be an honour. So, I got up and sung Wor Flags." “I forgot all about it the next morning but there was footage online, and watching it back, I could see Tindall jumping up and down, waving his arms in the air. That was a strange night.”

I'm not pfussed either way about getting a new badge. I certainly don't think it's evidence of the owners "destroying our legacy" like some tits on Twitter think

Arsenal's form. If Liverpool bother their arses tomorrow, it could be 5 games without a win.
