Think he means Drake using it is a good example of why it is very easy to recognise. He's too busy making terrible music than know about us.

Guest gizowl Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It's the new badge for me, followed by the old version of the new badge, been a traditionalist and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate played one of Drake’s albums (on Spotify) as I was driving a few of us to an away match - his workmate was raving about the album so my mate fancied a listen to it. He got a few “what’s this 5h1t” comments from the lads during the ordeal of listening to the album and by the end of it, I felt so depressed, bored and annoyed that I was considering deliberately crashing the car as that would have been a more fulfilling experience than listening to Drake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrysgame Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Never liked the previous badge, think the new one is great. As a kid in the 70's my dad gave me one of the old pin badges from the 60's and thought why did they change. So happy with the new old one.

meggoisgod Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 For me the new badge should be on all merchandise, anything official, training gear etc... But the old owl badge should be used for the players shirts and shorts It would be quite cool like that imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sixties badge was much classier than the current one...it’s that flippin Owl with its cartoon eyes and long eye lashes which is wrong, wrong, wrong. Has anyone still got a lapel badge or shirt with the 60’s version of the badge? Would be nice to compare the three of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a forest shirt when they had a proper badge too, not the simplistic, modernistic, childlike drawing they have now. 17 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Me too. I always thought it looked classy when I saw it on old programmes from when my dad was a lad, and although I thought the 70s owl looked decent, it looks very much of its time to me now. That opinion has nothing to do with upsetting Chansiri or not. it is so late 1960's, early1970's. 17 hours ago, S36 OWL said: This is all we need been there, done it, moved on.

Buxtongent Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Must admit that I prefer the new one to the 'compter drawing ' of the older one, and still like the original one. However, let me throw the cat among the pigeons One logo that I spotted during the various FACup shenanigans was the OLDHAM one, with its rather dark, threatening (to me) Owl, seemed very attractive.

Buxtongent Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 As an aside, how changeable are we. From a load ofmoaners about the side etc. etc. we've now got back to moans about the Logo. Things MUST be looking up!"!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookone Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Old badge = Dreadful Made is look like something out of 1982 (and that’s coming from someone who loved the 80’s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear05 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) I loved our old badge - I actually think it looks far more modern than the current one. If you look at the big clubs, their marketing departments have clearly had a say in making the badges more simplified and less historic than the old type. We seem to have gone in the opposite direction! I don’t really think it’s appropriate for a foreign owner with no previous connections to the club to come in and change it unless the fans were unhappy. Chansiri has done some great things for the club but I don’t think changing our kit or badge are among those. It makes him slightly more open of criticism when things start going wrong too. That said, if people are voting ours the third best, i’m probably completely wrong! Edited February 9, 2019 by gbear05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked at the Oldham badge (with envy) on a number of occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
