I know it's a wind up but anyway I hope this doesn't happen anytime soon. We have one of the best badges around and I've read a few forums of other clubs over the years that have said the same when discussing logos
Apple's first logo looks like something from the mid-19th century. Would anyone have bought a machine with this on? Stuff has to change sometimes. But it's interesting that someone said that supporters of other clubs are complimentary about our badge as it's just too easy to feel unwarranted affection for something that you are so close to on a daily basis.
I doubt we'll change the badge anyway, as it's under copyright (TM) and the usual reason for a new badge is because the old badge wasn't copyrighted and hence could be used by anyone selling 'rival' merchandise.
It's unlikely that a new badge would increase merchandise sales enough to cover the cost anyway...

If you look closely at our badge in recent times, you will notice that the TM is now missing. Right now it's a merchandise free for all!
Changing a logo can cost an organisation well into six figures by the time you have got the consultants in, worked out the pantone colours, held the focus groups - this is a good one going here - and then built and changed every single sign around the place, chucked out all the obsolete letter-headed paper, shirts, tracksuits etc. I would rather see the money going into strengthening a good squad and leaving a strong logo alone.

Gives it away a bit really.
I'd like that... so would all the atheists on here!
I told you before, it's a club (hearts, spades, diamonds, clubs)
If it was what you say than it would read
"Charlton Athletic Football Shamrock" : - )

Well if the poster can be silly so can we!
