So… you’re feeling quite positive about this new badge then? And the kits? I'll wait until I've seen them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NurembergVillan Posted January 12 Moderator Share Posted January 12 1 minute ago, nick76 said: Looks like concrete finish to me, not seen rubber with that finish Could be right. But that visual is entirely achievable on a shirt. My point was to counter posts that had said "it'll still look shit like the initial image when it's on the shirt", which just fundamentally isn't true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s hold fire for now… why can you comment massively after the first leak but now we have to hold fire? First was shit, second was shit…nothing has changed, I’m not holding fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 7 minutes ago, Pongo Waring said: Oh wow.... This is what you was all moaning about? This looks great. No we were moaning about the crap zero detail lion on the trademark. The biggest issue, followed by badge balance. We will see how the badge looks in other mediums soon hopefully. But ofc it looks better with a detailed lion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 12 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12 Looks far more promising. I still think the blue background is the biggest problem, but that becomes personal opinion rather than a disaster if that detailed badge is real. I'd still be concerned as to what the digital version will look like, but at least we'll know that it'll look good on the shirts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 9 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said: Are we considering this a leaked image as opposed to something fan generated? Is this twitter account to be trusted? Are they the clubs new soft-launch device? It seems to have moved immediately to 'official leak' without a lot of question. Can’t say for sure but the guy is very vocal about the club and actually supportive of their mentality or decisions… has had a lot to say regarding the badge and the Lee Haynes design (critical of it)… he’s a professional designer too. so, I don’t think he would say “this is it” if it wasn’t… but who really knows up to the club to get off their arses and do some proper communication… a bit of transparency and honesty would be nice too… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it the badge will sit on a claret background most of the time. I'm in. Because our club colours are claret and blue. It's that simple. Plus two light colours superimposed on each other looks washed out, and not visible from all distance and/or small format. I don't understand why gold/yellow/beige on light blue would appeal to anyone. Our colours (claret and blue) have great symmetry and complement each other perfectly. That was the case in the 19th century and still is today. Would you paint a wall in your house yellow with light blue trim? If you wanted a "villa themed" space in a setting would you go with yellow and blue? Take a look at our current badge in small digital settings and tell me it's easy to see that the yellow is clearly a rampant lion. It just looks like a yellow blob. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let the relentlessly negative get you down I don’t like being negative… I don’t like complaining.. but if there’s seemingly a justification for it, I’m going to do it, because I want to be honest and… like others… I care about what the club does and how it is affected… as well as the fans. And yes, I will likely repeat the same point over and over again in different ways and forms if possible if this is still bad when it’s revealed, I’ll say it. if it’s good, I’ll be happy and relieved… again, it’s tiring isn’t it? but we all get emotional and passionate because we’re so invested in our club and.. if we can’t express ourselves, rant and rave, give our thoughts etc here… where can we?

I’m just hopeful that it looks good or is an improvement on that shitty image (which I will always hate) if it’s still crap, I will say it’s crap I’m waiting to see it properly - I still like the Lee Haynes design and I am still siding with FAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPAngel Posted January 12 VT Supporter Share Posted January 12 If it ends up looking like the badge depicted in the trademark, I still think it's a really poor effort. That said, the detailing on the image floating around socials is, frankly, gorgeous. That type of gold detailing across a kit would be all kinds of beautiful so I'm very intrigued to see how it all comes together. My opinion of the trademarked image hasn't changed but this has, at the very least, made me slightly more hopeful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 19 minutes ago, NurembergVillan said: Also, to refer back to my point about the badge execution on the authentic/player jerseys from the World Cup, look at these stunners! PS - the Germany one isn't an embroidery - it's textured TPU so it looks like one but without the weight... Lovely… I love the navy, simplistic Nike France shirt that they did/had too… so clean and classy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 1 hour ago, NurembergVillan said: Concrete slab?! That looks like a TPU badge, the likes of which appear on most elite level kits nowadays. Get up close to some of the shirts from the last World Cup. They were sensational. An image filed for trademark is typically just a cover all sketch that serves as protection for various options and executions. Reading this thread over the last couple of weeks, I've wanted to hand out paper bags for people to breathe into. If this was the first leaked image everyone would be excited. But they saw the other one first so it's all doom and gloom. They're exactly the same badge, but perspective is everything. Could've told us that to start with! It does look a lot better and makes a lot more sense of things. I still don't really like the fact that they went against last year's vote but I guess what's done is done. If the stripes are gold like the lion then the kit should look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoshVilla Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 FFS. I thought that the Castore wet t-shirt competition kits were affecting our performance. Now we're having concrete badges on our shirts? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
