Am I right  in thinking no one was too fussed when they changed the badge in the past, same with moving the stadium to Leazes Park in the 90's ( apart from environmentalists)? 

 

Is it people were not bothered or rather that the Internet didn't exist? Any one remember articles in fanzines criticising the club? 

 

The oldest of our previous badges was just seven years old, so I doubt there'd have been a big fuss. We've had the current one for 37 years. (city crest obvs older but had only been on our shirt for seven years)

 

There's also more reason to be protective of such things now than in the 70s-80s I believe, due to the complete transformation of english football's role in the world.

maybe we should stop thinking of it less as a club crest, but as a franchise logo

again, if the club want to simply clean it up - ie: take the current crest and remove the blury details and additonal lines and even it up like that lad who did it on instagram that has been posted on the previous pages - perfect.

This is absolutely fine, but I'd honestly be shocked if the club went to this length just to clean some blurry lines up.

 

Most of us would barely bat an eye lid if they gave the lion an actual face

 

if they're really canvassing support for that small a change it's no surprise we take an age doing owt, flip side is they're cautious when making a misstep which is good.

Haven’t seen a single fan design that’s better than our current crest.

 

I’m all for change if there are benefits to it, but from what I’m seeing it’s nigh on impossible to improve on what we already have.

 

 

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I always really liked our current badge, I now think it's the single greatest piece of design work ever produced in the history of mankind after seeing the ocean of abominations in this thread.

I get the first part but not the second as football's role in the world doesn't bother any fans, what does that mean in reality? All you care about is your club. Look how many of us, myself included, welcome Saudi Ownership of our club.

Personally think having any sort of magpie on the design looks shite. If the person / persons who created the current iteration are still kicking about , get them to do it because every fucker else has been hopeless.

The way football has changed bothers loads of fans.

In the 60s-80s there wasn't anything like as much reason to fear the club being stripped of its ties to the community, city and history as there is now. Who the club is 'for' from the perspective of the owners has changed massively then. Consequently I think it's natural to want to hang on to what we've got, retain tradition etc.

Might have already been posted, but quite liked this mock-up if the changes were gonna be more radical, whilst keeping the same sort of 'crest'... 

 

 

 

 

That's great, really smart - 9/10

Why the three castles though? or are they towers, which is incorrect also

One city. One Club. One Castle. Three Dimensions.

Firstly  it has four towers then 😎 and secondly where is the actual walls between the towers. Even the current badge doesn't show the castle correctly

The fourth tower is obscured to us as we're looking at it from a diagonal angle 

 

You're right about the walls - But meh - Artistic license - Or we could add them in - No issue with that.

 

I love it, but my slight gripe is with that flag at the top...throws off the balance a bit...

 

So I got rid of it...and that double seam under the right magpies wing, and that stray grey pube on the left magpie - It's easily a badge I could live with.
