That’s class.

I take it back - 2 Magpies rather than 1.

I’m surprised this needs explained, but they’re not seahorses and they represent the city from the coat of arms 

The link to the cities coat of arms is of its era. We should move on.

You've just come in this thread to start trouble haven't you.

I always thought that over time, we would become more Saudi-like, and that would be good for the team's success. The green kit and sponsorship were a first step of many.

This thread has me teetering on the verge of adding dislike reactions to the forum.

 

'class' ffs

[Dr Jinx]

Reckon the final badge design will have a shade of green in it.. the brief will be keeping the heritage of all the previous designs while giving a nod to the current owners.

 

They need to be super careful though.. it's thin ice territory and one misstep and all the good up to now will have been undone.

We don't need any Magpies either tbh - ateast not 2. I'd go with a bigger black and white badge and castle with a Magpie on the middle.

 

Honestly I wouldn't mind a Juventus style rebrand.

Couldn’t agree less TCD

That would be a terrible decision. It's all very well having green away kits but green in the badge is an absolute no-no.

[The College Dropout]

I don't think a green away kit and sponsors is going to be the limit of Saudi influence on the clubs assets.

 

Think most people won't mind a Saudi-named new stadium.

 

I don't love it. But I think it's inevitable (not necessarily Saudi green in the badge) if the Saudi's are as invested as we need them to be.

[JT24]

Have probably brought forward the destruction of our natural environment by a day or two with all this AI generated shite.

[Kid Icarus]

The only green I'd accept is the Tyne Bridge, which I've thought for a while would fit perfectly at the bottom of a shield, kind of like this but not shit.

 

 

Everyone's so creative!

That looks so “weak” for lack of a better word. I’m not sure how to articulate what I mean but the crest should be somewhat intimidating or strong-looking. Formidable? Inspiring? Whatever.
 

Think @Izakaya nailed it with the hippocampus one.

That's all fine, but green cannot be a part of our badge. Its far too intrusive.

Ran the above crest through ChatGPT with a few tweaks. 

 

I reckon that's perfect. 

This is the one imo. Slightly clearer than @54’s superb effort.

 

It’s clean as.

We need them to be invested in the club and the city. Everyone else here supports Newcastle United, and whoever the custodians of the club are at any one point takes that forward. They don't rebrand it and make it something else. We don't need that what so ever. Because then it's gone, and all we're left with is the vacuous shite.

I think what you're getting at is it looks suitable for representing Wycombe Wanderers or a council leisure centre or something.

[McCormick]

That’s exactly it!

I thought that "1892" has been recently established as the wrong year?

This is very good, second only to the "Tits oot" one.

I would if this is some ploy to engineer that they can fuck off. Especially if it’s at the expense of regional identity.

It was always the wrong year, shurely?  1892 was the year of a name change.  I think we’re the only club in England which claims its founding year as the year of its name change - Man Utd never use 1902 as their establishment date.

It’s not going to be a circle.

Everyone can absolutely fuck off with the suggestion of Saudi green on the club badge. Change it, fine, but whacking Saudi green on it is too far
