Lincoln because it's not a roundel. The geometrically inaccurate football on the horse-punchers' badge irritates me far more than it should.
Out of interest, who had the first roundel? Was it Charlton?
if you judge on the badge themselves rather than the club they represent, tough choice between Bristol and Lincoln. Other two are meh.
I think so. Didn't we allegedly base ours off theirs?
I love Shrewsbury's. Three pissed lions, what's not to like.
Shrewsbury's was better when it was one lion coming home to find he'd been burgled
Agree on shrews @ReturnToSenda
This is a very tough group for me
Come on Sussex by the Sea!
Maybe Shrewsbury's badge is a continuing story, and instead of being burgled, the first lion has just been told he is having triplets?
The next badge will be three lions in nappies, and then we will move on to three lions telling the first lion they hate him and they wish they had never been born.
Shrews by default as the others are pants, especially Imps which looks like a doodle in a 3rd year rough book.
I think I'm in love with you @Shev
I like roundels. Bad news for @eric_plant here. Names all round.
That Lincoln imp looks like it was lifted from the ZX81 game Mazogs.
@arnos_grove
Do you mean the spectrum version?
Neck and neck between the most aesthetically pleasing and the most characterful.
It's disappointing for sure
Surely the whole point of a badge is to symbolise the football club? ie to show you what team it is using a symbol?
If you just stick the bloody team name on it as well the symbol itself is redundant and loses all meaning
You're gonna be fuming when you find out about logotypes.
Coca-Cola and Wycombe Wanderers aren't really the same thing though
All that said, it's not like I lose sleep over it. Just personal preference really. And I really liked our badge when it was just the symbol
Not really as with Brighton, for example, it's a seagull which is a reference to their nickname. With us it's a bl**dy swan.
I'd argue that the graphic within the roundel is the very place to put something to add context.
@eric_plant I generally agree with you about club name script on a badge (I hated when a shield was put around our swan, even more when said swan was 'roundeled' with the club name). But it's not fatal for me. A club badge should be an instantly recognisable emblem (imho)
My mother ironed a hole in the 93 kit (Swan, wwfc scroll underneath).
I blame her for all badge changes
Why iron a football shirt?
It was close, but I am calling the group for Brighton & Hove Albion. Group B to follow shortly.
Wow, I had Brighton down as the worst one of the 4 !
It is definitely going to be interesting to see how this whole thing ends up, as badge quality is so subjective (outside of MK's being awful, which is empirical and unalterable).
Me too!
It is an excellent idea from Shev. I think Brighton's is right up there. Clean, to the point. Don't like roundels though. Interesting to see the variety of opinions.
Same here. So bland.
