benjamsandwich28 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Nice and simple. Can't wait to see what it looks like on a Tailored by Umbro kit!
djharvey Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Thats ok! fairly conservative but no real probs with it.
wiltshiresaint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Not sure TBH - that 125 logo where the ball should be looks like it comes from Comic Relief on first sight. Maybe it'll grow on me!
dune Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 It looks ****, I hope this is one you knocked up and not the real thing.
miserableoldgit Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I think that I quite like it. It is "cleaner" and snappier than the normal crest without being too much of a change.
stmusicdude Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Looks good. Is that official or a mock up? its from the OS
trousers Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 its from the OS Ah, cheers. Fairly official then :-)
Saint Fan CaM Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I like that quite a bit actually. Subtle changes rather than a complete alteration and as someone else has said, I'm sure it will look great on the new kits! It looks like this is the first step in a series of exciting announcements from the club. Let's hope that trend continues through the next week and there's nothing to detract from the feel good factor.
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I like it. Surprise surprise, Dune doesn't. Some people really just don't get enough attention at home.
Graffito Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 A slight improvement but it still looks like it's been designed by a committee.
dune Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I like it. Surprise surprise, Dune doesn't. Some people really just don't get enough attention at home. I'm being honest. The bingo ball at the top looks rubbish.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I think it looks good esp the gold outline and numbers.
trousers Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I'm being honest. The bingo ball at the top looks rubbish. The conservative logo is a nice touch though :-)
doggface Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 What the **** have they done to the ball!? Looks like a lolipop the rest is nice but that ruins it, v poor
Badger Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 (edited) A slight improvement but it still looks like it's been designed by a committee. Or a coalition of those who wanted a change for a season and those who did not. Personally I was hoping for something to replicate the crest on the original kit,as proposed on a thread some time ago.

JustMike Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 on 1st look...not like. now i have looked a few times, its a grower

B Rabbit Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Actually HATE the 125 where the football should be...it's far too 'in your face'. Quite like the gold trim mind...it's subtle and quite 'posh' so to speak.
SO16_Saint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 the key part of that article is (other than the badge) that the kit launch is imminent. bring it on. If it's anything like the crest, i think it'll be great looking.
Master Bates Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 the key part of that article is (other than the badge) that the kit launch is imminent. No it doesn't, just details of when it'll be launched. "We will soon be announcing further details of how the Club will be celebrating this special occasion throughout the forthcoming season, as well as launch details of the new kits."
eelpie Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The red 125 ball looks stupid :mad: The red 125 ball looks great
Pilchards Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Love the gold but the red ball looks like a blob! Instead of 125 why don't they put champions? :-D
SO16_Saint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 No it doesn't, just details of when it'll be launched. dammit. i read that sentence and missed out the 'details' bit
Master Bates Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 dammit. i read that sentence and missed out the 'details' bit See, you almost caused idiots (i.e. me) to stay on the site all day pressing F5 waiting for the kits *wiggles right index finger*
docker-p Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The '125' on the red ball is 'uckin horrible. Looks like it was designed by Fisher Price. The gold is OK, and the dates on either side, but the ball ????!!!! FFS
MorningtonCrescent Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Nice and simple, but I think they've missed the trick with replacing the ball.... If it had been a white circle with the numbers in red, then it would have been more sympathetic to the old crest look. But, for one year, why not?!
eelpie Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Found it.Posts no's 23 and 51 by jasonb: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=19970&highlight=badge&page=2 Ugly. Those look like they are in mourning. Too complicated and depressing. Fitting perhaps for our relegation season, but certainly not now. The new 125 badge is a million times better; it's positive, forward looking and hits the right note. Very appropriate for our promotion season ahead!.
The9 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I like it, but think it would look better just with "125" emblazoned across the ball, rather than a Red Nose. Also, trimming things with gold is SOOOOOO Pompey 2007.
ladysaint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Like the gold, but agree the red circle doesnt look good would have preferred the ball.
saintds Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 It's OK-ish on it's own. Not mad keen on the red "face" - looks like it's got a blood pressure problem! Hopefully the new kit will complement it though.
Frank's cousin Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Will look alot better when stitched rather than printed... the 125 wont look so in your face when sown... will look good on a shirt I think
Cascadia Saint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The shading on it make it look like clip art, although the gold helps it look a bit more distinguished than usual. The red nose isn't great, but the football that is normally there doesn't look good either. I hate to say this, but I've never really liked our crest. It always seemed poorly designed and old fashioned. We need a new one.
docker-p Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 It will be known forever more as the 'Red Nose' crest, and go nicely with the original Ted Bates statue.
Master Bates Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 thoughts...? Why is the gold line now a white line under 'M' & 'P'? This certainly won't do
Badger Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Will look alot better when stitched rather than printed... the 125 wont look so in your face when sown... will look good on a shirt I think Fair point.
Scudamore Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 on 1st look...not like. now i have looked a few times, its a grower I suspect it's one of those situations where a designer comes up with a range of ideas. And puts in one that he doesn't really like which looks a bit toss. And then the client just goes crazy for it. Either that or it was designed by the bloke who sculpted the first Ted Bates statue. In short i think it looks sh:te.
