The Batman Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 4 hours ago, Striggy said: But that is not the classic badge, that is a modern minimalist stick drawing of an Owl from the 70's. The new old badge is the classic design and properly represents more years of heritage than the above. It doesn't. We've used the 70s one (variations of it) for longer than the current one... which IMO is frigging awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute nonsense, everyone knows the under 15’s support Man City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That feeling when you got it as a shiny in your 50p Pannini stickers Agree How good would it look on it’s own with no shield on the current kit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Love that 1970s badge so if iconic and easily identifiable as our unique brand. New one is just too fussy and looks like many others. Looking after my t shirts with the old badge as they look great. The simple navy blue one with black around the neck and edges of the short sleeves with the old crest badge on the chest looks ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daleblue Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 When people refer to the old badge are they referring to the new badge, and when people refer to the new badge are they referring to the old badge. I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Both look great I like the move with the latest badge though and modernised a retro badge for a new era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlLuke Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I like minimalism, a badge should be clean and instantly recognisable, I think Derby's for instance does a good job of that, I don't feel our current badge does. Dunno why people think the minimalism is dated, I think our current badge is even more dated, because it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people are swayed by their memories of the badge and us playing in it in great times etc. But in isolation the current one, although not perfect, is a big improvement.

chrisf Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 I disagree. The old new badge from the 70s is iconic. It does what a logo is supposed to do. No need for SWFC under it or anything like that, it's instantly recognised as us. Just like Forest and Derby's logos. They've kept theirs, and rightly so, why did we have to change to a poopydoo version of the old one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they seem to have forgotten to modernise it... It's virtually the same as the 50s reject. And it's the wrong shade of blue on the kits! Taste is subjective, but there's no way that's a modernised badge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But chuck the previous one on some merchandise and I'll happily part with my dosh. Changing the badge is by far and away Chansiri's biggest mistake as chairman... Employing Jo's as manager might run that close in the f**k up list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would sell, believe me. Why the hell is the badge a taboo subject with the club? Bring it back! If not on the kit, at least on a bloody polo shirt!
