Altamullan Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Yep, please don't mess with the badge. If it's not broken.... Reminds me of waiting for a tattoo and the lad in front of me getting the mid-eighties circular NUFC badge tattooed on the top of his head. I like to imagine he's now in some high powered executive role, and has male pattern baldness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Badge re design would be awful, I really hope this is bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 The badge is difficult to replicate and mass produce due to the the intricacies of the design. Unfortunately many clubs are ditching intricate badges in favour of very simplified ones that are easier to reproduce as vector images, in digital media and on the shirts themselves. Wouldn't be surprised if we followed suit in coming years unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Hope we use Comic Sans or better yet Sports Direct font. Would look grrrrrrrrrrshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 A couple of the newer, slicker badges have looked alright - Spurs comes to mind. But Sheff Wed's and West Ham's aren't great. I'd rather we just didn't bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Our badge is lush. Unless fan opinion changes, it wants leaving the fuck alone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 My mate works for the club and mentioned last week that it might be happening. Could be to commemorate 125 years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I think a badge change is essential so that we don't become another Leeds or Portsmouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 For what it's worth; https://www.nufc.co.uk/club/history/club-crest Also the Chronicle say they are going to investigate the matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm happy with the badge as it is now but a reversion to the classic coat of arms would be acceptable. Don't want a total change to something completely new. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Club must be worried about things going too well and having done a decent job getting the fans back onside I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Club must be worried about things going too well and having done a decent job getting the fans back onside I imagine. Changing for badge is more of a aberration than the stadium name for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'd be livid if they changed the current badge, even if it reverted to the one we had in the 80s which was class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 That'd be f***ing horrible if it happens. Partly because I have the current crest tattooed on my chest like from when I was 17 and thought I was a wrong'un. Also because I'm yet to see any other club bring out a better crest to the one they had before. Ours is mint, leave it alone. What next? knocking down SJP and moving into a modern lego stadium on an indistrial estate near Blyth? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Really hope they don't touch the badge but I imagine they will in the near future, lot of clubs seem to be doing it now If they do I hope they wait until we're back established in the Premier League, last thing the club needs now is to piss off the fans again after the last 6 months or so of positivity.

newsted Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I have the current crest tattooed on my chest Mine's on my arm, never regretted it.

Stifler Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 On my arm as well, in black only though. It looks much better like that as a tattoo in my opinion. Before I got it I was on holiday and got it as a henna. Some kid saw it and was saying to his dad that he wanted my tattoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's up the top cos I have to see people in my job and they can get judgey. Papillon on the other side cos fuck the world Mrs newsted has Garfield flicking the finger at the top of her arm and the Ferrari prancing horse on her back. Love tattoos, me.
