New crest unveiled

[Valetillidie]

Its toss.

Why have the Staffs knots outside the badge and then the topleft and bottom right the same unidentifiable object?

And why is there a Grim Reapers scythe?

Awfull

Its that bad it gives Stoke Citys crap bland boring childlike badge a run for its money

 

Don't know if I'm taking the bait but here goes..

 

 

http://www.thepotteries.org/arms/burslem.htm

 

"The Portland vase represents local industry and the towns association with Josiah Wedgwood.

 

The scythe is from the arms of the Sneyd family. The Scythe also appears in the Tunstall arms.

 

The silver fretty cross "a fret couped argent" in the third quarter is from the Audley arms."

 

 

 

I quite like it. I like the fact we now have Burslem incorporated into our club badge.

My thoughts exactly.

[blinkme]

i like it. better than the current badge

[BurslemFinest]

i dont know why the Staffs knot couldnt be incorporated into the badge rather than floating above it. Take one of the vases out and put it in its place. i think i prefer the old badge that we all knew. If it aint broke..............

[valeblue]

Nice to have a team to have a shirt to put a badge on!..................Think about it ?

Needs more detail thats all, eg portland vases, but love it.

Not really fussed either way. The only badge I am bothered about next season is the one that says Npower League 1 on the sleeve!

Would have preferred the old old badge personally (as per the back of away shirt from a few years ago).

The board listened to the fans and created a badge based on what we as fans wanted. It'll look much better stitched on to a shirt as apposed to as an image on the link. However, the usual suspects will whinge, and their clan will back them up with cliches such as 'you can't have an opinion anymore on this messageboard'. Boring.

I think it's ok, prefer the current badge. No need to change.

The most important thing next is negotiating a deal with a shirt maker that will be of good quality!

[billywhizz]

will look mint on an all white retro style shirt:yes:

I think it has potential to confuse the brand, which is not a good idea from a marketing perpective. The other badge is very widely recognised and is displayed in many places. To rebrand the whole club would cost a significant amount of money so I hope we are not going to do that. Only about 20% of our fanbase voted in favour so it is hardly giving the fans what they want. Most important thing to concentrate on is promotion, get the details right if and when that happens. Won't encourage new supporters to come and watch because we have a nice badge.

I agree, don't see the point in changing but everything else wildes and smurf have done has been great so I'll go with them on this one
