The flag did seem really cheesy, but didn't bother me. Poojahs alteration with just the 1878 on the side, and Roast Em Bobbys are much better ideas imo than the one the club wanted to implement.

I liked the badge on the old Avec shirts in the late 90s, early 2000s, it didn't feel cheap, but probally wasn't either, I guess the newer version was a cost cutting exercise. Shame really.

Don't mind having 1878 on the badge but the flag looks shite. Put it on the boat or on the crest.

I like option B, but without the flag

Prefer not having the flag but would like the existing one to be updated and more digital friendly. So I voted for the status quo.

Pretty much my feelings too. Voted A since I do not like the flag but I would be open to them making the original more digitally friendly in the future.

So why not offer it as an option? They could just work on that in the back ground and give us a vote on both options when it’s ready. Better still just drop the flag and go with that as a compromise.

I actually think they have shot themselves in the foot a bit by not offering it. If a third option was there they could have split the "no flag" vote and given the flag badge a better chance of winning.

100% this. Personally, I would acknowledge that there's loads of good stuff about the new badge; it's so much bolder, crisper and more modern than the old one - people simply didn't like the flag and lack of consultation, which isn't wholly unreasonable.

Having initially owned the situation and apologised, to now turn around and say "you're having this badge or no new badge at all", frankly feels like they're shooting themselves in the foot once more. Which is disappointing. It comes across as rather arsey, and doesn't really tally with the idea that they've "listened to the fans".

Personally I'd take the positives of the new version and address the bits people didn't like, something similar to the mock-up I posted on page 14 (with or without the '1878').


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.
