Stagger Lee Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Looking at the others on the list I am surprised we are not higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) 442 always talks bollocks. Could understand it if we were talking about the old one. Kilmarnock and Liverpool deserve to be on there. Proper traditional. Have they made their annual prediction we are going down yet?

They've done a worst badge article too and it'd have looked more in place there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham, Juventus are two striking examples. Ours ain't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinevillawill Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 The list seems a bit tongue in cheek if you read the captions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 As much I prefer the old badge, the new badge is better than most. Badges tend to be boring and if anything it's quirky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton resisted a similar design to us fairly recently. Our badge is not very objectionable because there's really not much to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our badge is not very objectionable because there's really not much to it. Can't disagree as per basic template, but the owl on our badge (old and new) has always had personality, rather than say just being an owl symbol. The new badge in particular, whether it is likeable is one thing but it does stand out. As 4-4-2 mentions, its definitely giving evils!!

Not surprising given our overall form since he appeared on the badge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I remember having a metal lapel badge of that in the 70s. It was as big as my head and weighed a ton. Just as well as the lapels on the safari suit that my mum made me took eyes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
