Add a bit of dark blue and it won't look like a Saudi kit too much, more like our kits in the past. However, since the main aim is to make us look like Saudi, so I think, it's pretty much nailed on looking like the 1st one. Would soften the blow if we had adidas instead of Castore making it.

What do you lot think of your current badge? did you like your previous two more? It seems like a trend for clubs to go for circular badges right now. Would you mind having your old magpie badge?

I reckon it'll be changed with two seasons like.

I love the circular Magpie badge.  Personally, I prefer the city coat of arms but you can’t make coin off it.  Ultimately though the club crest doesn’t really bother me too much one way or another - I’m ok with the current one, ok with it being changed.

Clubs change to circular badges to make production costs lower, so I have no doubt we'll be doing that sooner rather than later too as we seem to want to generate as much funds as possible to skirt around FFP rules.

I love our current crest but can 100% see it being changed sooner rather than later.

 

Bristol city is one of the few that stand out for me as being a positive change from old fashioned coat of arms to a modern take.

 

If they knock up a few variants and stick it out to vote id be happy.

I'm up for changing it but only to the extent that it's cleaned up and modernised slightly (see below - I'd be delighted if we adopted Ash Willerton's design). I don't like the old badges at all bar the original city crest-looking one.

Knew there was a very good chance I'd wake up to that exact post.

I was so close last night to saying that I'd be open to keeping our current crest so long as we can make the seahorses/hippocampi sluttier :lol:

My own response; I'd far rather things were left alone, but if it did change I suppose I would want something significantly different. Not a fan of the old crests, assuming the city crest is out the window. Circular is incredibly dull now.

I’m generally not that arsed about the badge, but having something that’s a bit more old school is quite a nice differentiator. 
 

We could go down the Liverpool route and have an official club crest and then one that goes on the kits, like they do with the liver bird.

I’d prefer the city crest, but my understanding - and I’m happy for anyone to let me know I’ve got this one wrong - is that we can’t make money from the city coat of arms, and therefore while we can use it, we can’t trademark it or make money sticking it on things to flog.

Love our crest, hope it never changes. Those modern circular ones are mostly shite and soulless. Think our previous circular crests are shite as well.

The magpie one always looked nice and European - but I’ve never been a fan of the NUF(upside down)C we had when I was a kid.

If we were to simplify the badge/crest, I wouldn't be against this mock up.

Yes, I've thought about this also. I would be happy with multiple logos, to be used in different contexts. Now bracing to be told copyright lawyers and such will blow it out of the water, however...

Yes, that's my understanding also. Plus the picture is intricate, which means it isn't optimized for showing in Google searches or verbally describing......................

The current crest is all I've known so I'll be gutted if/when it changes. But I appreciate its a 35 year old crest in a club's 130 year history so it isn't sacred at all.

 

Generic circular is the way it's going unfortunately. If we go circular I hope we keep some individuality to it, whether that be retaining a seahorse or two, or returning to a magpie.

Personally I think the magpie badge is shit. We’re only associated with magpies because they’re black and white like our kit. They’ve got no broader connection with the city. As a one city club I love that our badge is a play on the city’s crest. I don’t mind that being modernised. 
 

Really think our badge is the best in the league. As far as modernised ones go I think Man City’s is pretty good. Old badge, city connections, modernised and put inside a circle.
