brfc fan Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 New Villa badge New Boro badge Good or bad changes? Would you ever want ours to change? I personally think it's awful when clubs change their badge. If we ever got rid of the famous red rose it would ruine our belief in being the Pride of Lancashire.

1864roverite Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 there is only ONE badge and that is OURS who really gives a to$$ about anyone elses ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tchocky Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thirded..... Boros could have done without the ribbon though. Derby also have a new crest. All modern font-y an all. Pointless but not ugly IMO. And such a dodgy reason too: To commemorade their return to the Premiership! Hahaha. As if they won't be down like a shot. As for ours, well let's just say it's not that ugly but I wouldn't have it tattooed. Least not in colour. Bit poofy with the rose and all. And no I don't have that Lancastrian patriotism so to speak so it's purely based on looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasta Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I would never ever want our badge to change. However, I'd be happier if I was a Villa fan than a Boro fan as the new Boro badge is completely different. People soon accept it and forget it though. Man City changed their badge in 1997 (for copyright reasons according to wiki), but most people have forgotten about their older, more rounded badge. Just done a very quick search and I couldnt find an image of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcj_jones Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Much prefer 'Boro's, but not keen on the Villa one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 For classic examples of how not to reinvent a clubs crest see the old and new '@#/?ised' versions of both Arsenal and Fulham...ruddy awful!! Boro's is quite smart I think....and leave ours well alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roar of the Rover Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I reckon Villa's is better, just a bit more smarter, Boro's is like some little kids just scribbled over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuwilky Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Why would you want to commemorate being moments from complete oblivion on your club's badge? They have done ever since, to remember how close they came to the end, and those who gave blood sweat and tears to stop it from happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Ray Bill Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Why would you want to commemorate being moments from complete oblivion on your club's badge? The point of the 1986 is that post-86 the club is 'officially' a different one than the one prior to 1986 as the club went into liquidation. Official Boro Site. I wonder if Leeds United will officially be known as Leeds United 2007? And then Leeds United 2008, then Leeds United 2009 etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically speaking they are the same club (they never officially folded), and I think it's silly to commemorate coming "close to the end" as Stu puts it. Obviously someone at Boro agrees with me; hence that particular part of the change in the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rover_groo Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think Middlesbrough's badge is of decent quality, but Villas is truly awful. There basically is no form of thought and no effort in the design. As it stands, I've had to redesign our own club logo, which has been existance since the club was formed since 1975. Talk about moving on at -20mph. A lot of the 'old school' in the committee were very difficult to deal with but eventually we got there. It's a huge difference to the club emblem and it was a difficult task. It started off with six designs which had to incorporate the Youth section. Then once a design was picked, it was then brough to a process of elimination on 4 further variations of that design. Once I get them up on-line I will let you all see and would appreciate your own opinions. As for our own Rovers badge, I would leave well enough alone. It went through a huge transformation from the 'Red Rose' to what it is now. Then for the emblem for the Academy. Absolutely a superb piece of design.
