I can see us going back to one of the old circular badges. It’s maybe no coincidence both the old crests have appeared on our shirts last season  

I think the magpie one is definitely the closest to the prevailing style in the modern game. A modern version of that could be really good. 

[christ]

Nowt against the current crest but it does need a revamp. It’s very much of it’s time (late 80s when football clubs got a serious hard-on for shields), and it’s a lot more intricate than most of those that remain for that period.

They just need to modernise the 70s magpie crest. Of the ones we’ve had it conforms most closely to modern design sensibilities, and it’s fucking mint. 

[andycap]

I personally think our badge is the smartest badge in the league.

Hate the circle-ation of all the crests. Such a lame excuse that it will make the crest easier and cheaper to print on things. I'm spending 100 quid on a single t-shirt, one covered with ads, the least you can do is print one fucking badge on it.

Small test sample, granted, but some of the people moaning about crests are the same people moaning about strip designs are the same people buying from DHgate are the same people buying XXXL 

 

Lads you look like a rugby ball stuffed in an empty crisp packet whatever you wear. Vogue

Will the new crest be on the new kit?

Athletic article says it won't be ready for the start of the new season

Apparently not

[Mazzy]

Seems a bit weird to announce it now and not to start next season with it. 

 

Perhaps the reason is that they haven't decided what it will be yet? 

 

We can all agree its going to be circular right?

Considering they've just announced only that they're going to discuss it, they don't have a decision on a new one yet, the new kits will have already been mass-produced in their thousands and some are already in retailers' stockrooms...I'm gonna say no 

[The College Dropout]

Don't really care.

 

Don't stick with the 

NUF

C

One though. I dislike that one

[The College Dropout]

 I hate this middle one.

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 

 

The guy doing it is a NUFC fan so let’s all wait and see. Usually the best policy with these things.

is that public knowledge or just something you know? 
 

sounds like we’re not going for a major rehaul? Based on the survey and the article?

Release the kit, sell a shit tonne, update the kit with the new badge, sell another shit tonne.

I re-read what the article says....

Based on what we've heard, updates to the current club crest should be minimal and therefore Refine & Revive is our recommended approach. We've spoken to our Fan Advisory Board, now we want to hear from you. What should stay the same? What needs to be updated? And how can we embrace our history - not just by honouring it, but by preserving its spirit and building on it, so we can thrive in the years ahead?

 

Sounds like the recommended approach of 'Revive & Refine' has come from the initial talks with the FAB. But subject to what comes back from supporters, that could change if the response was for radical change. However, from what I've seen online so far, it seems fans want limited changes (if any).

[James]

Its bonkers to announce it now right in the middle of a crucial run in

[Chicken Dancer]

Surely the players and fans don't give enough of a fuck to let it damage the next 3 games man. Will have absolutely 0 bearing on how our season ends.

[James]

Small margins, you don’t risk anything that would distract

From that Twitter thread. If we did go for a refresh of the current badge, making it easier to reproduce but still 'simplified' in places, I think what Ash Willerton came up with is cracking....



But I certainly wouldn't be against a Man City style rebrand, and something very similar to the late 70s badge....



Keep it colour for the home kit, but I think that would still work in Monotones too, for the change kits.

Maybe just have 'NEWCASTLE UNITED' and drop the football club bit. Maybe add the formation date instead?

i'd take the top change, Our badge is to ironic to fuck with imo

[Nobody]

Ugh not a fan of this news at all. Absolutely love our crest 

[TBG]

Bruno loves to kiss or pat the badge.

 

Wonder if we should read too much into it if he doesn't on Sunday.
