Website is better. The flag on the trawler looks awful.


Yeah.  The flag does look bad.  They should have put '1878' on the hull of the boat.

So, my take on this is that people are making a mountain out of a molehill.

I don't particularly like the amended design and can't see why we couldn't have adopted just one of the versions that were being used already and just said thats the standard. I don't see the need for the change. If 1878 wish to be transparent then they should have mentioned the change, I don't think, however, that they needed to give the fans a say.

In the end, though, i'm not really bothered. Move on.


And when you fall back into the mud it hurts a lot.
No! None of it was true, none of those things we thought we could see existed at all.
All that was really there was still more misery

They don't need to give the fans a say. But when that's what they stand for, it's a bit of a shock to have that appear unannounced. Modernising the badge isn't a big deal really, it has done that over the years anyway and is sensible. Bastardising a feature that's been there for about 50 years is not the same thing.

I think our badge is one of the better ones in football and has aged very well with the tweaks over the years.

It wouldn’t bother me other than they adopted the FairPlay principles regarding consultation regarding ‘crown jewels’. If you sign up to something, stick to it.

A website is a website, but not a fan of the new badge. It looks amateur and cheap now the flag looks forced into the spac, but that just my opinion


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

The badge hasn't been changed though has it? It's been tweaked slightly and had all the anomalies ironed out. The way some people are going on you'd think it's totally unrecognisable from the various iterations of the same badge we've had over the last 50 years.

Quoted from Chrisblor
I am literally not arsed they've got some lad in from Apple to tweak the badge (although i'm unsure how making it more "compositionally harmonious" will do anything like attracting new fans or improving the squad). I mean fine, whatever, it's got a flag on it now 🤷‍♂️

What I am arsed about is the new owners unilaterally deciding to launch a new badge without any fan consultation or transparency. It's pretentious 'we know best' behaviour, and there's absolutely no way they should be messing with the club's heritage without getting the fans on board and involving them throughout the entire process.


We change our kit literally every season. That's much more fundamental, or at least more visible, than the badge isn't it?

I think the same.

Other than that, not really fussed.

Not a fan of the all black around the banner, nor the flag, but do think there is an improved sharpness and crispness to the design.

That said, I don’t think any club should unilaterally amend or redesign a club crest without fan consent.
