Swiss Toni Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think if we get proper stripes on the next kit I'd forgive the updated badge. I think the fact both the stripes and logo changes were at the same time upset a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grez Bez Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The badge is OK. BUT.... At a time where retro and minimalist designs are back in fashion it's insane that we swapped. We should have changed the badge but only by losing the shield around the Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know where to begin with the new one. I'm left handed, always drew it wrong way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I like both however the old one looked more modern, subtle and was much more iconic. I haven't a issue with the badge as it's basically our original emblem but I am annoyed with the recent home kits, as to me they don't look like the kits they were supposedly based upon. I would much rather see us back in our iconic stripes, apart from a couple of years in the mid 90s and the past couple of seasons, I've always known us to play in blue and white stripes and most fans of other clubs associate us with blue and white stripes.

wakefieldowl Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I much prefer the traditional badge and was delighted it was brought back. The other one is so 1970s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlOnWheels Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I like the new badge, but I also like the old one. I don't see we can't utilise both. I think the old one in particular lends itself to merchandise. A subtle old owl on some stuff. The new badge doesn't lend itself to being small and discreet. Would allow a broader range of merchandise. Anything we can do to improve that revenue stream should be looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumboldowl Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 8 hours ago, Mr. Tom said: The previous one was so iconic and a magnificent piece of branding design, but it always looks and feels so '80s somehow (even though we'd already had it for a decade by then). My only slight grumble with the new one is that it's always way too big on everything, particularly shirts - looks like a flippin' Christmas card stapled on yer moob It could be worse, it could look like a Christmas card stapled on your knob, that would be really painful to look at !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t matter who designed it, or how, or when, does it? Anyway, you don’t like it, so fair enough. As I said the last iteration was ideal for modern purposes from a graphic design perspective.

Rebowl Yell Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) I’m absolutely fine with the new badge unless they intend to go back with our previous owl dispensing with the shield and SWFC. That minimalist iconic owl I think works best, plus it’s much easier to draw on your blunt workmate’s forehead when he’s passed out on your sofa.
