Hand picked by their owner I read somewhere.

Chansiri picked it but it is a close variation of a badge we had in the 50s. It's practically the same... I don't know if they added the sexy fluttering eyelashes this time though.

Plenty of fans like it, it has tradition. And the badge that we've changed from hasn't brought us any luck at all.

Once you have decyphered the S and W, it looks like there's an M in between them.

I voted old, I've always liked the 'new' old one from the retro perspective on classic shirts etc as it is a slight redesign of a badge from the 60's, but would never imagined it would be our current badge, but it has grown on me the last couple of months, it's all in line with our 150 Years anniversary in 2017. Think myself with other Wednesdayites would like the 70's stylistic Owl on its own with no crest or writing.

I prefer the existing one I think. That new one- like a couple of other clubs' recent rebranding efforts- looks a bit Clipart to me.

Not all modernistic badges look good (see Bournemouth!). But some (Wolves, Wednesday) are fairly iconic. No need to change, IMHO.

True but really it's an old one because it's from the 60's rather than a completely new design.

New one for me. It would be even better with the 'Est.1867' on it somewhere

Odd one, I like both!

The old one is a classic though. Like foresta and wolves.

The new looks older than the old if you get my drift.

I wondered why all of a sudden Wednesday's fan base seemed to be swelling in the south east. Turns out the owl T-shirts were in support of some musical artist called Drake.

Don't tell my psychologist but the first thing I saw when looking at the new badge was two women in bed.

Can't see an M myself. Just a pillow with two ladies heads on.

Apparently not, but it seems the fashion these days for clubs to update/change the badge every few years to keep ahead of copyright and refresh 'the brand'. So i'm sure things will change again at some point!

Was just about to type exactly the same thing.

Its JK Rowling's previously unmentioned, fifth Hogwarts house, "Massivebore"
