Terrible Football Badges

Reading's is an awful badge isn't it. It's just an horrible mishmash of seemingly random stuff that's been thrown together in a hurry. Being more than a bit sad, I looked up their badge history and it seems to be a club that's taken very little interest in such matters. At one point they even had badge so bland that it's rumoured to have been designed by Ian Brandfoot's daughter. My favourite of theirs is the old one with Elm trees and 'two blue moustaches' representing the Kennet and Avon. It seems that with the change of ground, they wanted to forget the stadium name. I guess Madejski would be a bugger to depict.

Reading's isn't the very worst football badge though and there's bound to be other posts here soon. After all, we've got Lincoln next. What an abomination they wear on their chests.

    Always a mistake to mess with a clubs badge. Ours is an odd one. Think we should have stuck with the Robin theme. The sword seems very random although we’ve all got used to our current badge.

    The Lincoln badge depicts this wee fella.

     

    Sure, he's an ugly little f**cker, but he fits right in with the locals and at least there's a proper local history and connection.

    Thoughts on this one? Footballs look like they’re from clip art 20 odd years ago.

    The one on Lincoln Red Imps in Gibraltar looks like he knows he’s guilty of something.

    Always thought Torquay's is awful.

    Then got worse:

    It's a good job they registered that as a trade mark or everyone would be nicking it.

    We have a great badge. Not too complicated and very clean. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Bournemouth in terms of terrible badges. Reading's is not the best but certainly not one of the worst IMO.

    This badge from the Leeds disastrous rebranding will be hard to beat.
    Leeds have had 13 badges since 1908.

    Right, but they didn't have any between 1908 and 1919.

    Leeds Utd came from Leeds City who were disbanded in 1919 for illegal payments to players during WW1.

    Firstly they change the kit to be like Barcelona, then changed the kit so it looks like a fictitious team called Richmond, just shows they have a zero history.

    Genuinely didn't realise they'd actually got 1861 on the badge.

    They have a date on the official club badge to show the date that a different club were formed.

    Bizarre.

    They’re trying to claim that they’re the oldest professional football club in the world.
