Aston Villa’s New Badge?

Looks decent... Simple.

Our change was strange. No fan interaction etc. Just appeared over night. I hope they didn't pay anyone to design it. I'm guessing if they did it was in sweets 😂

I'd prefer we'd kept the old badge and at a push drop the 86. Although thought it had a place as major recent club history.

I think it was a friend of the family.. I remember everyone kicking off how sure it was and the lads mum sticking up for him saying how much he loved the boro and how he’d tried his very best. Pretty sure he was still at college. Might have been the same lad who had some artwork for sale in the club shop more recently.. also dreadful.
 
86 According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, it means to "refuse to serve (a customer)", to "get rid of" or "throw out" someone or something. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, it may be used as a noun or verb.

We should return to the pre 86 badge or have a similar with the transporter instead of the ships

the transporter bridge is shyte, it’s not even a bridge.. it’s a fixed crane.. and like most things round here it was done in the cheap instead of having something worthwhile.

the parmo is shyte as well.. it’s just a cheese schnitzel.. bog standard German pub food/street food.. nothing special or anything to be proud of imo

The Dorman Long Tower was a genuine symbol of our greatness, groundbreaking and unique.. highly regarded by architects the world over. One of the earliest examples of brutalist architecture in the UK and right on the doorstep of the birthplace of the architect who coined the phrase.

The work of Victorian designer Christopher Dresser (Linthorpe Art Pottery) was a precursor to that of Bauhaus and modern design in general. He was bloody Bauhaus forty five years before Bauhuas was Bauhaus.. and he was doing it in BORO

So many great innovations spawned from the ICI complex, fantastic new materials and processes that we now take for granted.. we genuinely changed the world. The three ships Captain Cook’s Three Ships.. apart from claimed the east coast of the Australian continent for Britain, he made genuine, real scientific discoveries.. again ones which have shaped the modern world. But sure.. let’s change the daft boats out for a crane.. a ruminant of everything that is wrong with Middlesbrough.. everything that has held it back.

The greeks invented maths, politics and philosophy.. but let’s talk about the doner kebab!

The 1986 badge was well thought out and properly designed.. iconic. It suffered through its popularity with everyone from pizza shops to taxi companies using the badge for their own means.. well.. we definitely put a stop to that!

Bring back the badge! No bridges or parmos or cranes or kebabs.. a red rampant lion.

Newy that is absolutely rubbish - you must know that surely. The Transporter Bridge was not done on the cheap and was cutting edge design at the time. It replaced an overcrowded ferry with a flying ferry. It was a solution in many ways similar to Tower Bridge, London still as much an icon now as when it was opened in 1886. Your bridge would have meant destroying much of the town it was built to serve.
The Transporter was built towards the end of the age of sailing ships, amazingly enough it was not tall enough for one vessel that lost the tip of its masts sailing underneath. How on earth could your bridge have been built to attain that sort of height from land that is at or below sea level at on either bank of the river? When built in Edwardian times there were few that could have predicted a future of dependency on motor vehicles. How could early cars have climbed up to a height of over 200 feet without having to struggle up an immense ramp and then down one on the other side.
