    In the 90s, I used to enjoy studying the villa crest up close and examining the various elements. I really don't get the drive for simplicity in everything. OK, I get digital requires it, but have people changed that much since the 90s that they can't handle a bit of intricacy on a badge?

    The club are a classy outfit who keep comms to a minimum. However, lack of comms can result in speculation and rumours filling that void. The stand was announced in 2022 with construction to start at the end of the season. It hasn't. Club has lined up concerts for June 2024 which is odd, if as we have speculated, construction of a new stand is meant to be starting a year later than planned. No comms equals speculation and rumour (as with the crest situation).

    The new stand is badly needed. I am a bit perplexed at the way it stalled and zero comms.

    We have European football next year. We have to get away from the idea of a first eleven. We need a squad with quality.

    You can't announce a new badge and a long awaited, badly needed new stand and then just sort of muddle on without either and not explain what is going on.
  6. Captain_Townsend
    What is going on? I was super excited about the new stand.
  7. Captain_Townsend
    Oh

    Indeed. If Russia is defeated in Ukraine I bet social media would very quickly calm down. Deliberate stoking of social instability and disinformation in the west via the Internet is one of his most successful policies. Worth adding, electoral interference was Prigozhin's speciality.

    The best thing about the new badge are the name Aston Villa, the Lion, and the colours. I am still annoyed with what has happened. Can they not just go with the same claret lion as stand alone on, blue background for digital and keep the new crest for te shirt?

    In my opinion, the most consistent kit supplier we have had was Reebok. Every kit they delivered, home or away, was excellent. Much as ai ranted against stripes the other day, I prefer the Reebok stripes in 1999/2000 to the Asics stripes of 1993-95

    He should avoid windows.

    All I care about right now is Ukraine. Give Ukraine back you thieving bastards.

    I am annoyed Chelsea went for Jackson. Feel we need a marquee signing.

    No chance. Some of us are married!

    Here is a solution. Run a new poll, for those entitled to vote last time, with the new badge we voted for in 2022 alongside a new version with the lion facing the traditional way? I am thinking it is the 'wrong' facing lion that caused issues with the new crest? I think it needs sorting ASAP and this might be a way out.

    They dangled a new round badge in front of us for 8 months and then they took it away at the last minute. In 2007 people wanted a round badge and didn't get one. I am sorry but it will take more than a video to get over the disappointment of yesterday
  17. Captain_Townsend
    They have said the new round badge is now just an homage to 1982 and will only be used on shirts this year and that the horrid Lerner badge remains every where else. They then say that they will monitor local, national and global reactions over the course of the season to determine the next steps
  18. Captain_Townsend
    The problem is we got a new badge and finally got rid of the Lerner badge and now his guy comes and we have ended up in no man's land. It is a mess and he has got off to a bad start.
  19. Captain_Townsend
    The club need to sort this, just implement what we voted for. If it needs a little sprucing up that can be done. The 90s badge was frequently refreshed and the Lerner badge was altered twice. Colour was toned down after one year and the Lion changed at the time prepared was removed in 2016.
  20. Captain_Townsend
    Nailed it. I also associate the Lerner badge with failure. It is the worst badge we have ever had. I wanted rid of it.
  21. Captain_Townsend
    Villa deleted the video Project B6 posted on twitter: Have to say I have taken an instant dislike to Heck over the shambles of yesterday.
  22. Captain_Townsend
    I honestly think the badge we ended up with is the best badge we have ever had. I am so disappointed with the mixed messaging today.
  23. Captain_Townsend
    Well said, bravo. Agree with every word
  24. Captain_Townsend
    The new badge is the best element and it is the one thing they have decided to mess up and go in half on
  25. Captain_Townsend
    Rebranding is never straightforward. Villa got through it relatively unscathed last year and finished the season on a high with excitement building for the future. Now they have decided to screw it all up and reopen the whole debate. Not only that, they have communicated it very badly. FFS we all wanted rid of the Lerner era crest. I cannot understand how they have cocked this up so spectacularly.
