How about no.

I said that as that'll probably be the difficult part they were banging on about. 

[Joelinton7]

By what’s written on the website it sounds like any change is going to be minimal and it’ll largely remain the same. They’re updating it, not setting fire to the current and coming in with something totally different 

[gdm]

He’s not wrong. I’ve already seen enough terrible reimagining’s of the crest to last me a life time

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

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.

 

I want a duvet cover that looks EXACTLY like that

I'm not too fussed as long as it's decent. I've been around through the last four badges, so the change probably doesn't affect me as much as someone who is younger and has only known the current badge. 
 

This is no more than a tick mark exercise (imo), as the design will already be in draft I'm convinced. There maybe a couple of options to make it look more like a fan selection. I do think the timing stinks though, as it's not going to be on next season's kit, so why not wait until the season ends. Just causes a disruption amongst the fans before three massive games.

You've got to have a new crest, otherwise how else do you muscle in on the retro shirt market more than you already do

[The Prophet]

Will this be put to a vote in Stack?

Seems they're intent on scrapping any kind of tradition linked to the club in the pursuit of cash. The beautiful game.

They did that already - that’s why we have the 1988 facsimile of the city coat of arms instead of the coat of arms

 

There are PL players playing who are older than the current club crest.  There’s sod all tradition attached to it

Not a fan at all of the 70s magpie badge. The seahorse has a connection the the city beyond the club, the history of the area. We’re just associated with magpies because they’re the same colour as our shirt.

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

 

The current one is too detailed to work well in multiple mediums. I think they've said as much, it just doesn't translate as well as it needs to.

[Izakaya]

We could just copy the Collingwood crest. Same formation year too.  

[McDog]

Been a while since I saw those lads play.

Literally no one could've seen this coming.

I’ve always liked the European-style circle badges - though I’d rather see a hippocampus in there than a magpie

[ToonCanuck]

 why?  is this really a thing? badge is fine,doesn't need changing.

[r0cafella]

Will wait and see what they come up with before casting judgement.

Apparently the club filed to trademark the Castle badge in black and white in Australia earlier this year.
