I saw a few posters suggesting it's trying to be retro, cool, different or 'harking back to former glories'. I never saw it that way, I just prefer the symmetry, cleanliness and classiness of a round badge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post avfc1982am Posted June 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2019 This was the first shirt I can remember having as a kid. Found this original beauty a few years ago and had to get it. Wore it under my suit for my wedding and also wore it to sign the divorce papers a few years later.....Great memories!! 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok with the current badge. It's the best badge we've had in ages—er probably since the round one ironically! The redesign they did a few years ago made a huge difference.

NIVillan Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 What were the fans of the pre 1950s saying when we moved from having no badge on the shirt to the Crest on the shirt? What were the fans of the 50/60s saying when we moved from just the Crest to just the rampant Lion on the shirt in 1975*? What were the fans of the 70s saying when we moved from just the rampant Lion on the shirt to the round badge? Badges change with the trends of the time. * I think it was 1975 when we changed to the Umbro Kit after getting back to Division 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teale's 'tache Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just slapped the new sponsors on the shoulders to see how it might look, not as bad as I feared, depends what colour our sleeves end up being and if there's a minimum/maximum size it has to be. Looks a bit busy on the shoulders now with the Premier League badge, BR88 and Kappa, might mean the Kappa logo could be moved elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
