midds Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 That City one would be class if it was just the shield. All the other crap (eagle, stars, pointless new motto) makes it look rubbish. I really like the Newcastle badge btw. Think it's one of the best. Not some studenty wanker of a designer's wet dream like a lot of these new ones are but it's also not just the town arms as they were in the 1903 either such as Wigan's The tower on the Everton badge was an old prison wasn't it?

Dr Spectrum Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Its supposed to mean "Pride in Battle". But I've read it actually means "Arrogance in Battle". Not knowing latin, I haven't got a clue which. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Don't get me started on badges. Jeebus H Christ. This one: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/3b/Oldmanchestercitylogo.gif/120px-Oldmanchestercitylogo.gif Is obviously the best. Obviously. The circle ones are the proper ones IMO, none of this ponsy animals spouting latin s**** for me. But someone had the bright idea of selling it to Umbro to raise a bit of money. Therefore when that kit deal ran out, with the new supplier we needed a new badge. End result is the current monstrosity. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c6/Mcfc.png Not only is it undeniably s**** - It has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Allegedly based on the coat of arms of Manchester - Where the eagle comes from, I don't know - But comes with 3 stars that are there for "decorative purposes" (Seriously, they have no significance whatsover). I don't know what the fook these designer twats are trying to do to football. I can understand your rage. Old circle one very good. Current one a right heap of shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Quite like that old City one. I can't remember seeing a bad Newcastle crest, tbh. The 50s/60s ones are a bit fancy, but still nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the round one with the magpie that's on the retro tops they're flogging at the moment. The grey 'smilie' badge with NUF and then the "C" upside down at the bottom was shite mind.

Guest NUFCnutter Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 What is the Birmingham City one all about? I think that one is absolute flowery fat girls pants! <a href="http://tinypic.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i8.tinypic.com/54ld8pj.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> Its like my 9 year old has had three minutes left in school to design a badge and thought, oh sod it, this will do. Very imaginitive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I can understand your rage. Old circle one very good. Current one a right heap of shite It's not just that. We had that old badge since 1972...which is well before I was born. It's all I ever knew. To me that old badge is Manchester City Football Club. The new one is just something some designer twat threw together. Just don't identify with it. But we had to change it once our Umbro kit deal ran out. However I don't understand why people would choose to change the badge. Have they no sense of history, tradition, or heart? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the Elephant with a Castle on his back balancing on a football is probably worse. I think all badges should have an elephant balancing a castle on its back, apart from the Mackems whose elephant would have dropped it, and they would have Niall Quinn bringing in a team of Irish builders to come and rebuild the castle on the back of said elephant!
