Yoshihiro Sunbeam Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Badge looks horrendous on the new kit. Old badge and £15 cheaper and I would have bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Current badge is great. It's an old school badge. The old one always seemed like it was designed in 5 minutes by a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueOwl Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The new old badge would look great if it matched the colour of our shirt imo. The minimalist crest is iconic because it symbolises the best period of our history in modern times. This new era is taking a bloody long time to get started but when it does and we have some happy memories associated with this crest you'll grow fonder of it only for it to be replaced by a new moniker for the next era and generation of fans. Will the era live up to the 80s and 90s who knows I can't wait to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarringtonowl Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I like them both, have the new old one on the left of the shirt and the squiggly owl on the right of the next shirt. Well we have enough advertising on shirts, two badges not that radical. ps I think we beat Sunderland 2-0 in 1965 I went with my dad and we had Sunderland fans chanting behind us in the main (now South) stand. I thought it was brilliant at that time, if Wednesday fans got excited in the main stand they used to stamp their feet and clap off course, only saying !

Tarringtonowl Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Sorry just checked the 2-0 game was the one in February 1965. Anyway we won ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon Nick Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 This is funny, I remember when the Insignia changed in the early 1970's, and the English doctor (a surgeon) who was our most immediate neighbor, was fit to be tied, because... The Sheaves of Sheffield were gone, so was the White (?) Rose of Sheffield. It wasn't so much the style of the Owl, and no branch, as it was no Sheaves & Rose. He said the Rose was "sacred insignia" to all "Yorkshire Men", and the Sheaves were the insignia of Sheffield before the days of steel. And here we are, 45 years later, having the same conversation, only this time in favor of the "modern-art" Owl... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence that the largest pop star in the world copied the 70s badge rather than the new one. Derby have the best badge in the EFL Was it ADELE, that did it ?

owlinexile Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) The previous one is just objectively better as a logo. Simple, extremely recognisable, can be easily drawn by kids on a pencil case/school-book/etc. I would imagine the majority of football fans would recognise it and any SWFC fan would be able to draw it fairly accurately from memory without looking at a picture. The new one with the eye-boobs is too complex and not memorable at all. Edited July 24, 2018 by owlinexile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 don't really care whats on the players shirt but I wouldn't be buying any leisure wear with the new badge …..70s owl was understated and wasn't in your face like todays effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat 23 Oct SUNDERLAND.............. 3-1 21,381 John Hickton 2, Colin Dobson One of highlights of a disappointing season in league finishing just outside relegation zone.
