gbandit Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Need to update the crest because of our global reach increasing? What the fuck are they on about? No one gives a shit about a crest other than the club’s fans and the fans don’t want it to change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Bias aside, our badge is absolutely class and I'm programmed to have a visceral positive reaction to seeing it (removing the colour from it already removes that reaction though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) The fact so many other clubs have changed their crests will just make those who don't stand out more and more for their classic ones. And people love that about football, its tradition etc, incl the global fanbases. Edited May 9 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Not sure if anyone’s mentioned that they’ve already said minimal changes is the preferred direction. So I’d expect simplification of some of the details, redraw things more clearly, make it it usable in different scenarios etc. Scary but also a potentially exciting refresh if they can pull it off.

I’m sure it will be a professional job and not some tacky looking thing. Love the current badge and I’m curious to see the new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) I always think the idea that they're difficult to replicate digitally is a load of bollocks. It's just a vector image that can be recreated at any size or shape and used for any purpose. What this usually actually means is they want something simple, with a basic shape, bold colours and that is more recognisable as a corporate brand rather than something which represents the civic identity of the place (as our current badge does being taken largely from the historic coat of arms). I don't have any issue with badges changing necessarily, but the current trend is IMO that the vast majority contemporary badges at all levels of football are downgrades.

Of course you can literally render any image digitally, the question is does it look good and work well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Shocked it's taken them this long. Obviously would prefer they didn't, especially now we have won something with this badge. That being said, I do undertand why older football badges/crests are a nightmare from a branding perspective. Just hope they don't get too daft with it. And they clock on there can't be a hint of green anywhere, or the world of football journalism will be in uproar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Just done the survey and my feedback was to avoid something like what Juve currently have. I want them to incorporate as much as possible from the current crest but not fussed if they do away with the ribbon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
