This gets my vote marra

 

Beat me to it, but mine is probably more likely

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.

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?'

This is apparently doing the rounds ... 

[PaddockLad 19802]

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…

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. 

[wykikitoon 23921]

It would be good if we could have the new badge on the home shirt and the old badge on the away.

[Craig 7555]

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?

[Howmanheyman 38170]

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.

To be fair 'football club' only ever appeared on our badge between 1976 and 1983.

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.

Liverpool & Spurs simplified crests look way better tbh

That is fucking shocking, disgraceful if that's gone ahead!

Liverpool haven't so much simplified their crest, they just reverted to what they used in the 1980s

If you're referring to this, then it's not as Villa's top is exactly the same (except it's obviously got their shitty badge where our crest is),

Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and Spurs just did their older badges and they looked better for it but any genuinely new designs have been generally dumbed down.

Yep.

I wish I knew who he played for but that badge just does not translate digitally and I have no way of knowing.

Horrid copy of Leeds' squashed cock badge is what it is.

[Dazzler 12758]

Microsoft Copilot having a bash. Apart from the obvious spelling mistake I wouldn't be surprised if this was the general direction they go in.

[AgentAxeman 334]

if they don't go with this stone cold classic there's summat wrong...

I thought this was halfway through a nazi salute before I saw the horse.
