A bit marigold like aren't they? What with the washing up liquid colour of green too. Apart from that, ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I was a big fan of us switching to the robin at the time but now after a few years I wish we’d stuck with the City crest. I wonder how many fans of clubs that have recently rebranded feel the same. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Making it simpler and more recognisable is good, IMO the best badge is Nottingham Forest - bold, distinctive and instantly recognisable. The worst would be something like Barnsley's which is ridiculously complicated and blurs into one at a distance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I prefer it to the old badges but that may be because I don't like the old badges. I've find heraldry-type badges - if that's the best way to describe them - a bit over-stylised and uninteresting. Similarly I much before our current badge to the last one for the same reason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it was a leader when it was new, but it shouts 1970s to me. And I’m an OAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Forest have, and what many have including us, is not so much a badge as a logo. What Barnsley have on their shirt is a proper badge that honours the club's history. Personally I think clubs should have both. For simplicity of design for replica shirts have a logo but for official correspondence the letterhead should sport a badge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It manages to be suitable for today's applications yet still distinctive. And I think it manages this better than our own 'chilli on a stick'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
