Updating the club crest
« on: March 27, 2012, 06:25:37 PM »
Following on from the change to our away kit, and, reading how Crystal Palace are changing their badge, I wonder what the general forum consensus on changing the club crest/badge would be? Over that last few years Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea, Oldham, Huddersfield to name but a few have updated, modernised and simplified their badges, is it time to follow suit, update/simplify our crest and join the 21st century?

here is the link for the possibilities of the new crystal palace badge - http://www.football-shirts.co.uk/fans/crystal-palace-make-own-shirts_14965




Whilst i've always liked our club crest, it does seem a bit out of touch. Overly complex, it is very hard to doodle in the back of geography textbooks and it's detail makes it almost impossible and rather expensive to tattoo.

If we were to change, I quite liked that pin badge with the robin wearing a red and white scarf.

Jennifer just saw this and said, "That's on your jacket!"

Lets stick with what a wee 4 year old recognises!

Can we have the words FOOTBALL CLUB on the crest.  many years ago MUFC removed those words from theirs, and I guess that's just what they are, and aren't.

It's just the towns crest isn't?

I'd like it be the muscly Robin we had on the Tottenham T-Shirts punching a sheep whilst kicking over a large packet of salt.

Agree that it would be good to have a simpler crest that can be easily used on merchandise for example. However, for it to look good we would have to get proper designers/brand people involved and that would cost money.

Yes, because then we could end up with something as aesthetically stunning as that London 2012 Olympics logo......
