joelswfc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hopefully we're building a club for 5, 10 even 25 years in the future. A 'new' club, based on the ethos of the past but totally new almost from the ground up. Kids will embrace they new badge, because it'll be all they know. I'm very excited - this is more than just a bloke chucking money at getting promotion and his face in the paper. This is a project... Bang on. Top post.

darklord Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Thinking about it we've probably changed our badge more often than any other club Edited January 24, 2016 by darklord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Id say the response on here is about 90-10 in favour I'm really surprised that so many people have bad taste I feel like I woke up this morning with Megan fox and tonight I'll be going to bed with sonya from Eastenders It's just really really bland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaminowl Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 :rolleyes: So you think people preferring a crest from a certain era (because they liked the crest) is the same as 'harking back' to that era and expecting the same team to come back? I'm pretty sure one of those quotes was tongue-in-cheek by the way. So many people are reading too much into these comments. Some just don't like the new (old) crest and some do. That's all it boils down to at the end of the day. It's not a big conspiracy, one way or the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist_Owl Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 And what bearing does the badge have on all of the above? A badge will bring no more fanbase, no more income. What will bring those things is a winning team. Have a look at Manchester United's badge. (They're possibly the biggest club in the world, in case you hadn't noticed). Manchester United's badge is a relatively modern reworking of what they had previously. It's busy but it's not overly fetishising the past. For a club like SWFC that's nowhere near a Manchester United on the global stage or on the success level, you grab whatever bit of brand recognition you can. You can't fall back on a treble or champions league places to help with globalization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elvin Parsnip Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Shall we talk football clubs here? Chelsea Man Utd Man City to name a few - all 'messy' Only badge close to our current one is Derby, they're so much more successful than us. Forest and Wolves have similar style badges to our current one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just for our anniversary I would be for it as it celebrates or history but as the permanent gave of our club I think it's horrid, messy and without focus and ways the beautiful simplicity that our current well known badge has become. I can appreciate an edwardian sideboard off the antiques roadshow. Doesn't mean I would want it in my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.flem Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I would prefer to keep our current badge. I love its simplicity. If it was just a temporary change for the anniversary I wouldn't mind but that doesn't sound like thats the case. Bit gutted I have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've avoided the minefield that was a completely new design in favour of the traditional, for me that's a win in itself. As Flyingowl said in a previous post, the one positive everyone should take from this is that from the top to the bottom of our club no stone will be left unturned by this chairman in his efforts to improve us in an ambitious and sympathetic manner.

Stoop Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 As a founder member of the cult I always want what's best for this club, and I'm taking it upon myself to keep our proper badge alive #wear it with pride #f**k the camp pigeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelswfc Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 If you like it, like I do, that's great. But if you don't there is no need to make a massive fuss. Chansiri has the right to change the badge and if he likes this one that is all that matters. At the end of the day it is only a badge. But if you don't like it you are wrong.
