kildog Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I am honestly loving the new badge. Such a shame we couldn't get it on the front of the kit for this season. What are chances of having it replace the current badge? "150 YEARS" swapped for "CONFIDEMUS" job done. The squirrels could be left for future 'accents' or adornments, or not. Time for change? What do folk think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in the future, teams change their crests all the time. Maybe we should too. Edited August 9, 2019 by kildog -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 Generally we have the best badge in the league anyway. The anniversary badge is great though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18yardhero Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I don't like it at all, it's honking, far too busy, just my opinion. I would take a variation on the @Lroy ball and hand logo any day of the week, with a Confidemus/Confido or an 1869 thrown in there somewhere. The other one is a cracker as well but maybe a wee bit too heraldic for the strip. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompey Repatriated Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 Long term I wouldn't want to lose our famous Squirrels. I'd be up for a modernised logo but feel all elements are important. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lroy Posted August 10, 2019 Report Share Posted August 10, 2019 I agree with @18yardhero. I'd always wanted the 150th badge to just be the ball and hand, but club made it busier and the 150th logo is what we ended up with. My avatar is the badge from the 1879 shirt. Below is the final version I sent to the club. The coat of arms is already our badge technically. We currently use the crest (technical name for the part above the shield) as our badge at the moment but the whole thing is what we have registered with the Lord Lyon. Here's an update I did to the current crest. Same idea as what we do now, it's the crest from the top of the redesigned coat of arms. It has been on the windows of the shop for a couple of years now. I got told that was @Al#1's fault. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby14 Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Seen this on the official website. It’s the best the 150th logo has looked. Would have liked to have seen it used like this on the front of the home shirt this year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said anything at the time because I didn't want to be negative but now the anniversary is all but past...I don't like it, it's far too busy. All three of the logos on the @Lroy post above from August are better...we should've gone with the ball and hand alone for this years top. Just my opinion of course. For the record I don't like our current crest either, and I produced the first digital version of it for the club website back in the day. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coat of arms crest designed by Lroy would have been my choice, but I can see why the Board wanted the 150th crest to resemble the original company logo. My biggest bugbear is the normal crest on the 150th kits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) I think it would have been okay without the striped section, but the ball and hand would have been best. Stripes next to checker-board is like an eyesight test. Edited April 9, 2020 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
