Seems random putting a badge on they had for only 5 years where you'd have to be around 45+ to remember it. Slowly planting the seeds for a new badge altogether in the coming years? 13 minutes ago, Optimistic Nut said: Do we reckon this is the first move towards going with the simplified logo look, and going with an old one to ease us in a bit? 9 minutes ago, 80 said: Wouldn't be surprised if they end up going with the 70s one in monochrome full time. Maybe with a bit of Saudi green on the magpie's wing. I’ve said this even before the takeover, but we’ll get a new badge. As it happens I think it will be a fresher version of the magpie and castle. This logo features prominently on the new home kit, and other marketing by the club. In a recent Eales interview when they were in Germany, he is sat in front of a variation of it, with a slight change in colours. In some angles where it is more visible, the logo is more blurred. I don’t think they would be using that logo so much if they were not starting to transition. As it happens for the 3rd shirt, Adidas are actually using retro logo’s for most of their teams on their third shirts, usually combined with their Trefoil logo. Leeds have just released their away shirt with a retro logo which has went down very well with their fans. TLDR: A bit of both is preparing for a new logo, and Adidas marketing for this season.

Yorkie Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I don't think it hints towards us getting a new badge any moreso than all of the other trends do, with most iconography getting dumbed down these days. The simpler and cleaner logos are, the more recognisable they are, and the easier they are to reproduce and emblazon onto any material; from items of clothing, to the menus on your preferred app store. The NUF badge - along with the one on the Leeds shirt - are marketing Godsends because, not only do they already have that perfect blend of aforementioned attributes - they have the authenticity required to tickle people's tastebuds for retro. It's all very cynical. That said, it does look quite cool imo. The flicker of colour is a lovely detail which adds something, and I've always quite liked that badge in any case. I wouldn't have any objection to seeing it become a regular thing. If there was no fangs and a more appealing sponsor it would be right up there.

Big River Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 think people are reading too much into the retro badge, it's a current trend that is completely Adidas-led. they've done it for loads of teams this season. that's not to say we won't get a new badge at some point, but it's not related.

I don't think anyone is claiming NUFC are unique in wanting to blur the lines of acceptability around what symbols represent the club. It's an industry-wide phenomenon.

I mean we can just make things up if you like. There is a conscious trend this year that clubs are using alternative badges even Motherwell & Airdrie are doing it in Scotland and I’m sure people on here can point to more.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) It’s not trying to change the importance of the real badge though, it’s just a cool design choice that might make people interested in buying more kits. Edited July 30 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be missing my point that it's an industry-wide phenomenon. It would be weird if you couldn't find other examples. I'd see it as more relevant if Man City were releasing kits with the big eagle, or Chelsea were marketing the old CFC lion logo, or Tottenham were re-establishing the complications from their old crest. Are they? Maybe they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point and I disagree with your point as someone said I just think it’s def current selling point trend of putting an alternative badge-more often then not a retro one on charge kits. we may change our badge in the future but I seriously doubt this is the club dangling it out there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I accept that's a thing to do right now. But taken in the context of other things like the late 70s logo being updated and placed ostentatiously behind Eales for his recent interview, I think there's definitely balloons being floated to see how the land lies. We do, after all, have marketing gurus who've already notified us our current crest is not optimised for the visually impaired, so the club will be looking to rectify that ().

Harry 209 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 The execution of the badge is a bit weird on both these shirts, the Authentic has like a rigid placca badge with fake stitching on it and a weird pixelated magpie. The replica has a very thin transfer rather than embroidery but a normal magpie. There's some people that seem to absolutely love embroidered badges, in fact they demand it! Not sure what the thinking behind that was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
