Don’t have twatter, but I’m not surprised.
Everybody has to have a reason to be upset at something in this day and age. 

Exactly this. Club crests change, always have done always will. Get a grip.

The supporters Trust have written to the club about this change, and the survey they put out (not a ST holder or Paid Member, so haven't seen to myself). They seem to suggest the survey is a bit one sided, and doesn't include a 'No change' vote or option. 
 

 

Absolutely butchered process. 

When will the club hire an actual chief communications officer? Ideally somebody who knows what they’re doing.

Why would they put a "no change" option when it's clear that's not going to happen?

[JigsawGoesToPieces]

Sounds like what the club have done is not compliant with FA rules.

Presumably as they said because they need to satisfy the "the club must evidence that the majority of the supporters are in favour of a material change to its club crest prior to making any such changes"

 

Has there been any vote about this?

As the reply above, seems under the FA rules, the crest is a material change, and there are certain rules on the vote for change, the club seemingly haven't done.... one of which would be an option for no changes.

I mean it can't be any worse a launch than this, can it? At least if we use the word 'legacy' and 'tradition it will actually mean something . 

 

Still, maybe they're onto something, hope our designers somehow incorporate a reference to Swan House or even Blue House roundabout.

I’m amazed so many people care this much about a badge, mind. Who gives a shit? The club isn’t being renamed.

I think this is great timing by the club. We’re on this massive ascendency and a new crest will be the visual symbol representing the turning of the page of the time that we never looked back.

I’m the total opposite I love that middle one 

I'm with Andy. Grew up with that.

[Weezertron]

I love the current badge. Had the wallpaper in my room as a bairn, on the duvet. Everywhere.

 

however, if its gonna change I don’t mind because the current badge will go down as THE badge, I reckon. It’ll be back in 10 years or so as a special release or something.

 

If I owned the club, I wouldn’t change it. 

[nemtizz]

It'll be shit whatever they go with because it's change. 

 

As much as I love the current badge I just don't care enough.

[Amir_9]

Love the current badge but honestly it is dated. No reason why something newer can't be done that stays true to the black and white/magpie/local roots.

For some reason i read that as i'm with Andy Gray

[Chris_R]

How about this nice, simple, clean design? As well as being simple and clean, it also features a gentle nod to our new ownership structure.

 

[Thomson Mouse]

Just no, leave it alone. It's a perfect blend of the city crest and the football club.

[Mazzy]

I think the timing of the announcement is odd. Other than that I think it's the right thing to do and I'm not even slightly upset or angry about it.

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but some of the ridiculous things being spouted around online since this was announced is beyond reality.

I’m not angry or upset about it, I just don’t get the point.

It looks mint on the third kit 

I think the 80s NUFC badge would look the best on casualwear too. Our current badge is way too formal to look good on a hoodie.

It is laughable but that's marketing for you...

 

[Shadow Puppets]

I don’t have too much of an issue with a slight change. I’d prefer not too, but if it’s just a slight freshen up, then I don’t really care too much.

[Izakaya]

If it's going to be on next seasons kits, it's already been decided. This survey is pure lip service.

It’s from 26/27 season.

the current badge does look shit when the club insist on making it a single colour. it wasn't designed for that.

 

I can see why they're doing it. and there is room for multiple brand assets in the modern age. so hopefully the current iteration of the badge is still used in some capacity. that's how they should approach it.

 

Well said.

 

Need a version I can draw for my 6 year old without him thinking less of me.
