General NUFC stuff: club crest to be changed (Official)

[TK-421]

They'll change the crest mid-next season, and then need to bring out (at least) 3 new kits with it on.

Think of the FFP/PSR money!

Yeah let’s dispense with our badge, historical identity because some goon somewhere in a marketing department wants to “simplify and update”. If Ashley did this people would have hated it. It stinks 

We have Changed our badge 5 times since 1976 you know

May as well bin the name too, too long for modern day digital world 

Lucky we didn’t panic.

Rizz FC is my suggestion.

 Not opposed per se, but I think it would have been better to have one or more alternatives ready to put to a vote, and then have a second round of voting putting the existing crest against the preferred new one (alternative crest that won the first vote) explaining the benefits for the club of moving to the new one. I’m not sure what fan consultation is going to achieve without having any idea of what they’re thinking of in terms of alternatives. It could be great and it could be horrific.

 

Agreed, it'd be like announcing we're moving without a rendering or a location.

 

Except then they add this: Based on what we've heard, updates to the current club crest should be minimal and therefore Refine & Revive is our recommended approach

 

They must have some options in this direction, which would be nice to show. Or they will end up saying "it was too complicated to refine."

Don’t think we need to change, but I quite like this modernised version of the old badge if we have too. Just hope it’s not some Juve style shite.

Don't forget ticket price hikes in the name of PSR.

Design in general is completely in the mud this decades, bland, identikit, so I won’t be holding out much hope for this badge. My opinion changing a badge after you’ve been in charge 4 years is diabolical work.

The new stadium is far from reality in fairness.

[Nine]

It’ll get changed, everyone will hate it, then a few months later everyone will forget it got changed as long as we keep winning on the pitch. 

[SteV]

Not really that arsed (as long as they don’t make a pig’s ear of it obv). As has been said, it’s been changed multiple times before.

Winner !

As someone that’s only lived with this crest, for those that have seen the other iterations come and go - does this news provoke less of a visceral reaction?

[Big River]

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.

Have a feeling this is not gonna end well...

Losing at home to Chelsea on Sunday won't end well, changing the crest ........

This is absolutely what they should do if they must do this.

Grew up for my very early days with the nufc round one. Too young to really care. Imagine back then no one gave a fuck as we were shite, and not every cunt in the world felt the need to broadcast their opinion to the world.

I think so personally. I’ve seen three different crests now. I think there may be a similar divide to the stadium debate. I’m not overly sentimental about the current stadium as the only bit that was there when I first started going is the East Stand.
