owlinexile Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't think they have thought this through. How are people going to use that badge as a letter 'O' for example in Star headlines or the logos of certain websites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darkus Owlus Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm getting the feeling that if we hadn't used it before and wasn't part of our history a reasonable amount might see it for what it is....children's clip art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacock1961 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm happy i have a replica shirt from a few years ago with this badge on the front. Means i can go another couple of years without buying a new shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost any logo or brand could be deemed as clip art. Nike, Leeds Utd badge, Lacoste etc... it's not supposed to be commissioned for the Louvre museum.

The Night-Owl Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Embarrassing when some of our fans know very little about our club's history. The over-reaction to a badge that isn't even new and was our original one, is pathetic and embarrassing. Learn the club's history. It's the club's 150th anniversary soon, what better way to honour it than by having the original badge as the club's emblem. Be grateful to Chansiri and show him respect for buying into and maintaining our club's history and tradition. Be glad we ain't got a Tan or Cellino or losing our club's identity to tacky modernisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eDDie Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My first reaction to going back to the throwback badge was one of horror. It's growing on me, even though I think the Owl looks particularly bizarre. It makes perfect sense for a 150th anniversary celebration. But as a permanent rebrand, I would have preferred something harking back to that badge but without throwing our iconic Owl on the bonfire.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'd have preferred the blue circular one on the outside of the south stand It retains the iconic owl, contains the motto, and even celebrates our home Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Its not mandatory to like it because its an old badge. I think it will work on some things and perhaps not so much on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnich Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 This is literally hashed together in 2 mins but a bit more spacing, a different owl face and 1867 instead of Weeds' white rose and it starts to look a bit better. A bit of time spent on it and im sure they could have stayed faithful to the old badge just with a slight twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnich Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Love this one, that Owl looks absolutely f****g livid, it's fuming, love it.... it's livid that it didnt get picked for the badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I actually prefer every badge shown on this page than the one that currently looks like it'll be used. This is literally hashed together in 2 mins but a bit more spacing, a different owl face and 1867 instead of Weeds' white rose and it starts to look a bit better. A bit of time spent on it and im sure they could have stayed faithful to the old badge just with a slight twist I think that one would look good with the Yorkshire white rose underneath the 1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
