TK-421 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ashley did this people would have hated it. It stinks We have Changed our badge 5 times since 1976 you know https://www.newcastleunited.com/en/club-crest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 8 minutes ago, Unbelievable said: 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." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquee Moon Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big River Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
