shandypants Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't like it. It's nowhere near as good as the simplistic owl that identifies us to every other supporter in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't like it. It's nowhere near as good as the simplistic owl that identifies us to every other supporter in the country. To be fair, once it gets updated everywhere it won't be hard for people to identify for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamnich 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. 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...
FAT OWL 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. Something like this: That's not bad. You could even drop the FC and have it more like the "old" version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I wonder if 50 years time we will go back to the current version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveyboy66 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 The white rose is ours and given most of the sport in Yorkshire originated in Sheffield I think it needs to be on our badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of time spent on it and im sure they could have stayed faithful to the old badge just with a slight twist Just change the font on the "S" and the "W" so that it looks less like an 8 and a pig snout and youre onto a winner there.

Oliver Read Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 a bit like i posted in september on that other badge thread... This looks alot better, a little bit of a mix to celebrate the history but also the new age of our massive club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Remember that shirt we had with the old owl suspiciously peeping on in the corner? Maybe we can have something like that on the new badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohgoditsjames Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) I think it needs to have 1867 on it and find some way of getting rid of "Sow" I also think that the feet need changing, looks like it's just floating on the branch, looks like it'd fall off Edited January 25, 2016 by ohgoditsjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Ooh! I just realised something! We can't be known as "The Wednesday" as the badge adorns the initials "SW"; obviously standing for "Sheffield Wednesday". That'll p155 off the "The Wednesday" brigade. I've changed my mind; I like it (but only for that reason)!!! Edited January 25, 2016 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
