The one on the right just looks so much better, I honestly just can't understand how anyone would ever think the name at the bottom looks anything but atrocious. 1874 at the bottom will look ok with Aston Villa at the top I reckon, bit weird just floating off to one side like a foot rest for the lion This lion is better too, but there's no way you can get away with it in yellow which just highlights how bad the yellow/blue colour scheme is If we went for something like this, I'd much prefer the white border to be gold 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only hope is a detailed lion with some contest but I am more and more fearing that it is the same old flat yellow lion… with that amateurish drip shadow… Think we all have to accept that the horrid yellow on blue colour scheme is here to stay… maybe forever Unfortunately I agree with you for the badge, terrible blobby lion that is being used by other companies and clubs! I can only hope that its just a detailed lion by itself on the 150 year shirt..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I agree 100% - Greatest achievement of our magnificent club. However, having it on the badge is small time compared to the clubs we currently want to compete against - Liverpool (where are their 6 stars?) Man Utd (maybe in a year or so!) Man City, Chelsea etc....The BIG clubs, who expect to be in the UCL don't make small time gestures.... Surely the aim to to be at that table, and eventually win it again - then another redesign? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best we can hope for… designs are already trademarked and we are seeing signs or elements of those already… we just have to accept what we are getting and not bother expecting anything new or drastic… the sooner we come to terms with it, the better… I just hope it’s the best we can manage (within the limitations) rather than the worst… Fed up of all these long processes and disruptions… we just need to get on with things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it sucks, it's a massive shame we didn't take the opportunity to do something better, or just leave what we have alone, but in a few weeks it'll hardly matter. The Lerner badge was shit, I couldn't believe what we ended up with, but it's hardly like we were seething about it week in, week out, it won't matter any more once that is just the badge, we'll stop thinking about it until some other bigshot decides it's time to have another go.

The aesthetics really grind my gears - don't like the learner iterations, or the new trademarked one at all, don't mind the purslow round badge (as similar to my origin badge in early 80's) but lion needs to flip left and I see the issue with a round badge as a brand. It even annoys me when we have terrible kits, especially random away and hideous 3rd kits (like the current blue one) despite the great football on show at the moment, it just gets to me.....

One small niggling detail too - the white space between the borders should be equal all around. The one painted on the walls yesterday has that and it makes a big difference (to me anyway).

Exciting to have adidas on board and I’m looking forward to seeing all the gear and merchandise they will produce… but an ugly badge is going to reduce the appeal and maybe even spoil certain products… I hope the badge can live up to and match the quality of the gear… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the Highway patrol shield shape and stacking Aston and Villa is a big nono. I for one am delighted this isn't the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
