He was one of the better players that season . A hell of a lot better than Danny 'came here for the fish & chips' Rose.  

Had totally forgot Rose played for us. I think he'd had a few too many trips to the chippy.

A perfect example as to why we shouldn’t change ours. It would just end up looking circular and shit

Didn’t Man City used to have a circular logo. A couple of our previous logo’s were circular, both of them admired by fans. If it’s done right then there isn’t a problem. I guess Brummie could tell me, but I don’t think Villa have had a circular logo on the past. The shield type one is more them.

The standard 'template' circular one we had in the late 70s is easily the worst we've ever had, mind. The NUFC one was at least unique. 

 

Different subject but have mentioned before that I'd love to see the current Newcastle United font on the East Stand replaced with something that isn't Sports Direct and the four badges emblazoned next to it (two at either side).

I love 76-83 to be honest

I think all 4 are brilliant. Seeing WBA go back to their old one with just their letters makes me hope if we do change, it's just back to that.

Absolutely rank, that mita badge.

 

I wonder how much money they've wasted on those pointless edits from 2007 til now? 

[The Butcher]

Hahahahaha

 

 

[gbandit]

Why does this happen every single time? Do they wheel the same sculptor out?

[TheGuv]

Is it just me or do most managers no longer wear a suit or club tracksuit?

 

So many of them now just seem to wear jeans, jumpers, whatever the fuck they want on the touch line. 
 

Did Pep start this off? Marsch does it, so does Cooper. Im sure there’s plenty of others. I think it just looks shite. If you want to dress down, put something with the club crest on surely?

Saw someone get the 1983 one tattooed right across the top of his head—about 5 inch diameter. He must be 60ish now, still makes me chuckle wondering he’s gone bald.

Tbf Jackie's in Ashington is pretty decent. Very decent, truth be told. 

Shout out to MP Ian Lavery's youngun, Councillor Liam instrumental in its commission, iirc

Yeah that's great. The Jackie Milburn one's class, as is the MLK statue at Newcastle Uni, so the right people are out there. Our SBR and Shearer ones could be worse, but they're not great like.

Howe says hello in full NUFC gear  I’ve only seen him in our stuff or black suit.

I often wonder why it is statue making seems to have become a dying art. I don't remember seeing any shit ones that were made before I was born, but nowadays, they pretty much all are.

 

But yeah, I remember thinking that Jackie Milburn one is the best new one I've seen in a long time.

Option 2, easily. Was their crest in the 80s/early 90s iirc. Guessing that you'd agree? @brummie

 

 

 

Absolutely.

 

I am of the age where that round badge makes me think of winning a league title, a European cup and two league cups in 7 years*, so definitely. I think this vote will go on age lines. Won't mean anything to the kids.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* although relegation in 1987, not so good

thought that was actually pretty cool video and the designs look nice. 
 

having thought about ours more, I have 0 desire to change our badge - I could probably get on board with just redrawing it a bit for digital but not the hill I’d die on. Ours is fucking gorgeous.

Pep is a couple of games away from turning up 15 minutes late in a vest, shorts and sliders, drinking a massive Slush.
