Quoted from Chrisblor
I am literally not arsed they've got some lad in from Apple to tweak the badge (although i'm unsure how making it more "compositionally harmonious" will do anything like attracting new fans or improving the squad). I mean fine, whatever, it's got a flag on it now 🤷‍♂️

What I am arsed about is the new owners unilaterally deciding to launch a new badge without any fan consultation or transparency. It's pretentious 'we know best' behaviour, and there's absolutely no way they should be messing with the club's heritage without getting the fans on board and involving them throughout the entire process.


If the goons on Twitter and some of the comments made by fans on here in the last year are anything to go by they’ve done right just going ahead and doing it…

I agree with that as I had to search to see the change. I don't see the problem with the addition of the flag with 1878 on it and it reflects the new regime but is not in your face.

What Andrew and Jason think about the whinging might make them see what a load of moaning minnies SOME of the Town fans are when things are not going right on the pitch. Is it really worth moaning on that?



You think that fans of other clubs don’t whinge? Okay.

I just don’t get why they’re unnecessarily burning through so much goodwill in certain sections of the fan base for what is an almost negligible issue.

Would’ve been so much easier to just say - given that this has been ongoing for a year now - that the badge is getting an update mainly for technical reasons. Dropping it today out of the blue is obviously going to get people’s backs up.

Nobody’s asking for a congress of soviets, but you can’t be in the Guardian lecturing clubs about heritage assets & club identity one week, then unilaterally changing your badge the next.

Couldn’t agree more. Sticks two fingers up at anyone who spent good money on Christmas presents with old badges on.

They've got a lot of old stock to shift with those old badges on!

I'm not really that bothered but looking at those side by side I do think I prefer the old one.

I prefer the way the banner is colour separate at the top, while the new one merges the elements.
