Good read

His first book is really good, like. Keep meaning to grab the follow-up and hadn't realised he had another one on the way.

Quote

 

As our club grows on the global stage, the symbol that represents us needs to be able to keep pace. It needs to show up clearly and confidently across everything - from kits to screens to merchandise.

 

So we've been asking ourselves: how well does our current crest represent the club today? And how well will it serve us tomorrow?

 

It's time to update our crest

 

This isn't a decision we take lightly. We love our crest. It's iconic and has stood us through unforgettable triumphs and testing times. But it was created in a different era. Its intricate design doesn't always translate well in today's digital world. And it's difficult to reproduce it clearly and consistently.

 

As football and the world changes, so too must the symbol that unites us.

 

That's why we're coming to you

 

This isn't about walking away from our past. It's about carrying it forward with pride. The crest is part of our story. It's on our shirts and inked in our skin. It deserves thoughtful evolution - shaped by the voices of the people who love it.

 

Tell us what matters most

 

Based on what we've heard, updates to the current club crest should be minimal and therefore Refine & Revive is our recommended approach. We've spoken to our Fan Advisory Board, now we want to hear from you. What should stay the same? What needs to be updated? And how can we embrace our history - not just by honouring it, but by preserving its spirit and building on it, so we can thrive in the years ahead?

 

We're inviting Season Ticket holders and Members to share their views in an independently ran survey. A link to that survey will be emailed directly to those fans. The cut off is 5pm on Friday 16th May!

 

Want to hear more?

 

Want to hear more? We will be holding a fan consultation workshop for Season Ticket Holders and Members on Wednesday 14th May, both in person at St. James' Park and online, to provide more detail on why we're undergoing this process and offer you an opportunity to share your thoughts. A link will be supplied to register your interest to this event in the same email.

 

What happens after the survey closes?

 

The Fan Advisory Board have recommended that the wider fan base should be given a choice of options to select from during the second stage consultation. This second stage will be delivered via a separate survey, dates to follow.

 

*an independent third party, Savanta, will be collecting your responses, and sharing the results with us.

Probs WOAT?

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Was always gonna happen.

 

Depends what the new one is, but I'm not against it.

[Turnbull2000]

Oh god no, fuck right off

[NSG]

Yeah, let’s drop a major decision that will divide the fan base just 48 hours before our biggest league game of the season.

[GEFAFWISP]

Can't wait for a green badge.

[SUPERTOON]

Never understood what any club thinks changing the crest will achieve ?

[Superior Acuña]

I know I should be open to it, it's changed before but 

 

The whole 'technology has advanced so we can't handle as much complexity' thing seems strange. I understand it - but...

Please, just leave it as it is.

[GeordieDazzler]

I reckon it might just be a silhouette of a magpie or a seahorse?

So Sports Direct logo for our new crest then Craig.

 

Because that IS what Ashley would do!

[Turnbull2000]

Christ, imagine if they do a Juventus on us. Guess they'll not be consulting the 'legacy fans' on this one.

I’m not fussed as long as it’s an upgrade with maybe a nod to an old classic one

It was always going to happen, basically every club has changed crests in the past 10 years. We've also had multiple different types, over the years, so from my POV it's not a shock at all.

[TK-421]

Dont know why this is such a surprise. Were there not reports the club had engaged people to look into a redesign a couple/few years ago?

Then we had club videos last summer(?) with one of the old crest behind Eales (the round 1970s one), and people speculated going back to the one.

At least the club are engaging supporters in the change, and will (hopefully) take feedback on board, rather than just changing it.

[On the Grid]

I do get the move to change it. It does need modernising from a branding perspective. 

[TBG]

Will overreact before seeing it.

Given how they've been with ticket prices, I doubt this.
