Isn't it a bit... dark? Looks a bit out of place, but then it is change..

Mind you, I'm very much a pro round badger.

What is the plan with this campaign? Is the plan to approach the club in preparation for Falmer? The reason I ask is that it would need to be done sharpish, surely the club are already thinking about the interior and exterior and so any rebranding would need to be done asap.

I believe that going into our new stadium we need a badge we can feel proud of. Something that binds the club together and reflects our fine history. I don't think the current shield could ever do this properly, so I believe it's time for a change, a change back to our real badge, the round one.

Speaking to lots of other Albion fans, it's becoming clearer and clearer that many people would like to see a return of the much loved round badge. To those who say a roundel isn't 'modern' enough, I say to them, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich - some of the biggest clubs in the world have round badges, if it works for them it will definitely work for us.

I believe the refreshed round badge would be something we could all feel proud of, proud to wear and see up in lights outside Falmer.

Bellotti, Archer and Stanley are long gone... So can we now have our badge back please?

Do you agree? Please vote for either;
a) The round badge
b) The existing shield
c) Other

i love the round one, but you need to lose the little shitty gold bits at the bottom, what exactly are they? they look a bit like baby chickens

Er, not keen on this new banner I'm afraid. The NSC text isn't very crisp or defined.

I like my graphics to be S H A R P

 

[Mr. Jolly]

Round badge and stripes of equal width please.

Old banner was much better. Spacing, font and colors were all superior. This new one looks fudged together in 5 mins. With MS Paint.

 

[Dover]

Round badge for me, but without the gold embellishment.

 

[Agent_Torpor]

Banner a little better now - still miss the dreaminess and etherial spacing of the original banner.

 

[Napper]

Like the Good Old Sussex by the Sea around the badge but generally lose the gold.

 

[Bwian]

i just hope the club are willing to listen.

They'll say something like "It's only 83% in favour of the round badge so we're not changing anything".

The current badge doesn't look too good because the typography has a condensed and almost semi-expanded typeface together and using caps and upper/lowercase is too much of a mix - I like the round one better or the shield needs serious reworking of the type.
I loved the gull illustration, I think those eyes would make a good 'firm' T shirt.

can i lend my full support to this project. to be honest, i think the shield is okay, but that badge you've done looks great and those strips awesome. make it happen.
