I have to say, that's a massive improvement. The copy put on the trademark website didn't do it justice. The deeper yellow really helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas_Mike Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I like it, small changes but so much better....... now we have a real lion, maybe a real football club will be next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It looks very good, I like it. No complaints from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralJazzman Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 when you see them side by side you can see the newer one is bolder, would easily make it more recognisable as a brand. About time we got our claws back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hopefully we can have that embossed version on the shirt, instead of the tacky, flat, iron-on version we've had since changing the badge last time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the amount the shirt costs I want a real life lion with it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Shite. An incy wincy bit less shite than the other one but horrendously shite nonetheless. Edited April 6, 2016 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yep, the badge does actually look pretty good in real life. Also kudos to the club for coming out and actually conmunicating the thinking behind it and the real costs. Now need to pick something new to moan about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Its a lazy assed minor cosmetic tweak to the abomination we currently have, and at that price an insult. It is the old Doug era lion given some inner etching slapped on the current crest, with the AVFC made bold and prepared taken off. As a graphic designer I wouldn't put my name to such a piss poor effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam3773 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Less bad, but we should have gone for this: I think it was floated but it was shot down when they realised we weren't 'ready for soccer'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoony Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yup like others have said, certainly looks better on the shirt but still basically a pile of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Presumably the badge will not be embossed on the shirts. That will make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 If the Mail hadn't run such an inflammatory story yesterday I'd say we'd all have just agreed the lion looks better and moved on. Instead people get inflamed over the £2m and expect an all singing and dancing new badge or they've moaned over the fee. If the lion looks like the photo on the new kit it'll be a big improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 So where for the love of arse did the £2m figure come from? Bit random. I do like the new lion though, especially the black and white pictures from a page or two ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
