The video already said people didn’t want a shield and the gas lamp looks too close to a shield. As for lost in the crowd, I don’t agree, our colours are very distinctive compared to all our rivals round badges at the very minimum. Fans on the whole have wanted a round badge for years, it’s been talked about for years. As for some saying it’s boring, it’s a badge it can’t be complex because it’s on so many platforms, templates, different sizes and many other things they have to take into account. The colours are better, it has our full name on that we all wanted, the lion, the star which most fans wanted. I think it’s great, it’s satisfying most of what the majority of fans want while also helping the marketing and presentation issues of the current badge. A win win! i'm just judging by the responses on here. it's a small sample size, but seems fairly evenly matched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness the lion hasn’t changed that much? Just a little more defined around the edges so you can see more of its mane? Im glad they didn’t bring back the stupid tongue, or make it so you could see the lions ball bag or something though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so wrong to me. I don’t get the idea that facing left is backwards and facing right is forward either? I genuinely think the only reason for that, is because that is how we are used to seeing it.

Most club fans live in their past, Arsenal fans constantly talk about their invincibles, Man U fans about the trophies under Fergie and until Klopp, Liverpool fans were about their league wins in 20-40 years ago. It’s not a bad place to be stuck in 1982, not many fans can say they’ve done that and yes it’s the past but we are a very long way from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imavillan Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 underwhelmed tbh i was hoping for something modern, innovative, revolutionary but what do we have? two options that are none and both very safe and lets be honest quite boring oh, and i think we'll be joining the masses of rest of the football circle club 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's shite and looks horrible on modern media, i'm genuinely baffled as to how some people can't see this. Think it has very little to do with NSWE " ego " , if it was an excellent badge it wouldn't be changing. They've obviously had feedback from fans and industry professionals alike.

CosmicVillan Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I honestly thought I wasn't bothered either way and happy enough with the one we have now, but when the round one appeared in the video it caught me right in the feels. It's probably an age / nostalgia thing - An improved version of the badge of the club I fell in love with when Villa chose me aged about 7 We had a lot of success with that badge and it's been slim pickings since so I am all for going back to it and I love the update.

Keyblade Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 New ownership, new elite manager, redevelopment of VP, club trying to forge a bright new future etc. Makes zero to look back 50 years into the past for our new badge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion you can’t incorporate the main element of the badge into something like that. That’s what the survey was for - to establish what components needed to be retained. If the majority said get rid of the lion then the ideas would have been more ‘out there’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colour on those badges is a shade of purple. It's just not what our club colours should be at all IMO. Not sure why we've been content to let them change those without a vote when we need to vote on a crest change. Colours aside I don't hate either option. Neither is as good as it should be IMO but that's life also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
