Should Boro change their current crest?

[newyddion]

The first and second ones could do with cleaning up.. but I don’t think we should be going for any other designs.

and once again being able to legally say 1876 on the badge it was time for a rebrand.

Why was it illegal to use 1876 ? And what changed to make it become legal?

I think the company had to be separate with no links to the former..maybe the badge didn’t have to say 1986

Whilst that is perfectly fine it would not be commercially viable as it would be impossible to register as copyright or a trade mark, the lion is generic and MFC, well that's the Middlesex Family Clinic...

 

[Humpty]

This one please, or close to it.

Blue lion is sacrilige! Big no from me.

Without the "Datsun Cleveland" please

I'm not a fan of the lion and the tranny needs a bit of work - but this is close!!!

That's the best I've seen. Just some colour changes. Maybe a blue transporter on a red background and take out the black. I'd like it to be wholly red and white but for a blue transporter.

Use the current lion template and I'd be happy with that too.

The 3 ships hold absolutely no significance to me whatsoever, whilst the Transporter Bridge is an iconic Teesside structure.

I like the blue, it's obviously relevant to the Teesside area and think it should feature on the crest.

I also like the contrast in colours too, it's distinctive and eye-catching.

 

[Humpty]

It’s just not modern day Boro. Chelsea have a blue lion. Millwall have a blue lion. Villa have a yellow lion. We have a red lion.

Separately would it make you more likely to buy club merchandise if we did?

Yes.
The run of gambling, pawn broker & gambling sponsors has put me off buying shirts.
The new badge has put me off buying other items.

However I think it has had a redesign since launch as it is less offensive than it used to be (or perhaps I'm getting used to it).

I've just remembered the scroll which would have:

Football __________ 1876 __________ Club

written on it for some reason.

Get shot of it asap.

When if first came out and was wonky.. that was a real kick in the teeth.

Don’t mind it now.. it’s only taken 15 years.

My username badge on here, but mine is red and white.

 

[InglebyUTB]

Loved the old badge, but I've never liked the new one.

Would be something like this for me, modern design with a retro feel and the transporter bridge incorporated into it.

Good to see they’re involving the fans and not just getting someone from the local college to do it on the cheap.
