London 92 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago 33 minutes ago, Ayatollah Hermione said: Couldn’t really give two fucks but the idea they’re changing it because of difficulty incorporating the badge in a “digital world” is complete bullshit. Just tell the truth and say it’s a corporate branding exercise Northampton Saints RFC did the same exercise last year - on the same notion that the old badge didn't translate to a digital age. My opinion of it is that losing specific references to the city is shame. You can end up with a generic cartoon like badge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 7555 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Just re-reading the statement on the club website, I wondering if it may already be designed and this exercise is little more than lip service to ward off any "you never involved the fans" backlash. The timing is relevant as with new shirt production imminent, they'll have to have the design signed off. Fan Advisory Board have clearly been consulted already and it's their call to survey the wider fan base but it's focused on 'what elements of the current badge are to be retained?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 19802 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I’ve done the survey In conjunction with the FAB they’ve decided to upgrade the current badge and there’s a video explaining what each component part represents ie castle, lion/flag, sea horses, scroll with club name etc… so then they ask which of the components you think would be the most important on any new badge. They’re going to come up with a range of choices after this excercise then they’ll be a vote. Fairly sure any new design won’t be on next season’s strip but happy to be corrected by those who may know better. My preferred design would be something along these lines… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 52944 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I can't get myself exercised about this. I wonder if this is part of the reason you can't even see the crest on some of the more recent gear though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 7555 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Wasn't there a lot of criticism of the embroidery of the crest on the Castore shirts? Particularly around the lettering and the lion atop the castle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 38170 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago It's nailed on to look shit, doesn't matter what they decide on ultimately. I loved the magpie in front of the castle, loved the NUFC badge, when the current one came out I thought it was brilliant, still loved the others though. But if you look at other modern updates on club crests I'm struggling to think of any that's been an improvement for whatever reason they give? It's almost a dumbing down because in this day and age modern technology can't handle copying an image? I reckon it be a bolder version of the shield where it looks like it pops out the screen/shirt/whatever with some token magpie or something with Newcastle United only or maybe just even NUFC? There'll be no 'football club' on it that's for definite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of badges that have improved their predecessor I'd say Man City's has, but they pretty much reverted to an updated version of the one before it.
