Is that their temporary badge?ForeverAddickted said:Da f**k is Gillingham doing up there?8 -
I don’t know how you can call Chelsea’s ‘gorgeous’ and Aston Villa’s ‘eyesore’ when they’re basically the same badge.26

Gillingham a masterpiece - seriously fuck off8

Gillingham's is absolute cack. On the left there's just a bunch of stripes, like the wallpaper nicked out of a pub. A very dull pub. On the right is what I guess to be Invicta, except they've drawn it like it's My Little Pony having a shit fit. It's genuinely comical. Nothing like a good badge. Blackburn's is dull and insipid which should probably downgrade it as a design, except it could be argued that it matches it's club perfectly. Liverpool's has been extended beyond all recognition. The basic Cormorant is OK, but the extra junk that's been accumulated over the years is just an eyesore. They have therefore got the top three woefully wrong and we are the rightful winners.ForeverAddickted said:Da f**k is Gillingham doing up there?3 -
I actually like Blackburn’s badge but we should be top0

Why are people getting stretched over this? Every single one of these 'tiermaker' things is made by a 14 year old kid, ffs6

Still amusing to take a look0

Who's getting stretched?1

The badge Leeds brought back from the '70s and which they are currently using on their yellow away kit is far, far better than their regular home badge.2

Leroy getting ‘stretched’ because he thinks other people are getting ‘stretched’. Whatever the fuck that means.Leroy Ambrose said:Why are people getting stretched over this? Every single one of these 'tiermaker' things is made by a 14 year old kid, ffs

Wycombe’s badge is shit. The swan looks more like a duck. Whatever it is, shouldn’t it be sitting on a chair?1

It’s all subjective, so it matters not one jot3

Oxford and Wolves are to me good bits of modern design, while I like how Shrewsbury and Lincoln use the symbols of their town/city.0
-
If you like tidy uncluttered badges you need to look at ours, Wolves and Forest for me. Arsenal are up there but I think I preferred their traditional badge for the history. Lincoln looks terrible until you know where it comes from and that elevates it to brilliant. Liverpool's is too busy now. Maybe Brighton can join these clubs for a simple effective design. As for Bournemouth, what were they thinking with that monstrosity.0

It’s also out of date. We changed badge a year or so ago.0

Your lot change the badge every couple of years anyway!Boom said:It’s also out of date. We changed badge a year or so ago.
Red imps on white, white imps on red, yellow imps, cartoon imps, gargoyle imps, shields, fleur-de-lis, shields with imps ..... not to mention shirt colours. It's like you're the Palace of the north!
I do like the new badge though.1 -
What I find interesting about badges is to divide them into categories determined by what is featured:
Animals - sub categories of:
Birds
Which birds are featured on West Brom and Walsall’s badges?Mammals
How many of these are featured? In the EFL and Premier League, how many lions are there? Which clubs’ badges feature a mammal not found elsewhere?Fish & shellfish (which of these exist around the world’s football clubs I wonder: crustaceans (such as shrimp, prawns, crab and lobster) and mollusks/bivalves (such as clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, octopus, squid, abalone, snail)?
People and Weapons
Doncaster features both of these.Mythical creatures
Imps
Devils
Is Liverpool’s badge really a cormorant or is it a liver bird?
I understand dragons on Wrexham’s badge but are they also dragons on Leyton Orient's?!Historical Sites
Chesterfield
YorkTrees (are other plants to be found ?)
Forest, Wigan and Southampton.Items of clothing or manufacturing
Luton’s features a hat but not Stockport’s. What is the animal on their badge?Boats (or parts of boats) / Submarines

The current Cambridge badge is terrible, and will be replaced next season but this design after a consultation over 3 options

I think that they are really missing a trick when you consider the heritage of Cambridge.
That badge would be better suited to Carlisle and its castle.1 -
And the emphasis on the "CUFC" is odd when there are 2 other CUFCs off the top of my head (Carlisle and Colchester)jimmymelrose said:I think that they are really missing a trick when you consider the heritage of Cambridge.

It feel that unlike Lincoln and Shrewsbury, which have badges tied in with the history and heritage of their home cities, Cambridge and Oxford are a bit "town vs gown".0 -
All the badges are meh.0

I actually like the different mini logos and stuff they've come up with, but I think they should have gone with this badge, as the shape is unique to them, and gone with the full Cambridge United underneath it instead of the CUFC
I wonder how long it will be until we undergo a change and what it will look like2 -
Great post @jimmymelrose.
- West Brom's bird is a Song Thrush. This is the source of the club's alternative nickname The Throstles. Though, much like the comeback of 'The Addicks' as Charlton's unofficial moniker. 'Throstles' seems to have been pushed out by the use of 'Baggies' in recent years.
- It's a Swift on the Walsall badge. One of the two clubs that merged to form the modern day club was called Walsall Swifts, the other Walsall Town. For a while they were known as Walsall Town Swifts before changing to their current, simpler, name.
- The Liver Bird is a mythical bird, but as it's mythical there's a problem of how to picture it. The bird that's been chosen as its bodily representative is a Cormorant. So the bird on Liverpool's crest is both a Liver Bird and a Cormorant at the same time.
- Leyton Orient's badge features a Wyvern.
- Southend and Morecambe both feature Shrimps on their badge.
- Coventry have an Elephant on their badge, as well as a Phoenix and some other sort of bird.
- The full cub crest of Tottenham, as opposed to the pared-down badge they currently use, features seven trees, two lions and a castle.
