What the hell is all that about? I know ours is a bit dull, but I've never seen a worse design in a long while. It just looks, well, wrong. If this is supposed to be an upgrade on their old badge, which I though was quite decent, then god knows what their fans think.

The kid is only 7 I hear, be nice. I thought he did a wonderful job.
Looks like a School Blazer Badge )
Turn it upside down, and what do you see.....yep, Marks & Spencer

be fair, they're both ten times better than our current badge
Agree.Ours is dreadful.
Their fans dont like their new all blue strip either.
Wednesday are blue n white stripes and black shorts.
I bet they paid a few bob for the design, it's a joke isn't it.
I like the new design, the old one looks very 1960s.
They went back this year to the one they used from 1956 to 1973.

Me too. It feels homespun, which is what is nice about the feel at smaller clubs like our own. Fulham=family club, Arsenal=corporation.
Pretty sure I've a Fulham prog or two from matches at Wednesday with a very similar badge. It's like something stuffed and in a display case at a local natural history museum.
What I do hate is the new Manchester City badge; great example of a 50+ supporter base conservatively reaching for the past.
I like their new badge and although I wasn't keen on ours to start with I like it now
at least their "new" badge has a bit of history

The owl looks a bit camp.

I like it...... now. It took a while. I thought it looked a bit like a Swastika at first, but I do like it now.
I still have a soft spot for our 'Town Hall' badge though.

I like it a lot. I know I'm risking being slaughtered here but I don't understand why everyone loves the old badge so much, it's blue for heavens sake. Not only that but the general design makes it look like a prep school's crest, too generic. I can understand the sentiment though, as it was the badge that we won promotion under, but in all honesty I think our current badge is much more recognisable and represents our club more accurately, being black and white.
75 cup final badge for me.

:plus one:
I like the current badge, although it took me a good five years. My favourite is its predecessor, but the current is recognisable and uses white, black and red well. I recall Stoke City's badge was redesigned the same season as ours and I think that's a real stinker.

How do you come to the conclusion that Stokes is a stinker? It has their name, their stripes, year established, their nickname... All the essentials, we have 3 letters. I like it but doesn't represent 137 years of history or any detail about our club

Agree, a badge should show something about us our history, whatever
that might be on it, an emblem about the club. 3 letters at an angle.
I would go as far as to say I havent seen a worse one.
My local side non league Newmarket Town have a superior one with horse
On the badge showing what the town is all about.
How anyone can even think ours is good is beyond me, its not
even a badge.
I like the new badge. Black, white and red is an attractive and striking combination. That said, I didn't see the need to change the old one on the basis that it wasn't" readily recognisable". I think the new one will date in time and we may then go back to a version of the old one. Simple crests don't date where contemporary designs (like marketing logos) do yes, I know "logos" strictly means word, not symbol, but you know what I mean).
For me, the most hideous football badge (after C*****a's, of course) is Bournemouth's 1960s monstrosity.

I hate it. I wish we could bring the old one back. Far more sophisticated
