SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 What's not to like. I like our crest anyway, and this doesn't spoil it. I suppose it could have been better, but it could also have been much, much worse. (A grinning smile of Rupert Lowe holding an "I love Saints" banner would make a terrible crest...)
Thedelldays Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 (A grinning smile of Rupert Lowe holding an "I love Saints" banner would make a terrible crest...) or something like this...
benjii Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I like the revisions apart from the rather gormless "125" and red blob. That should be left how it was, or replaced with a picture of Markus' head IMO. Oi! Photoshoppers... can't believe no one has done the honours yet.
B Rabbit Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 (edited) Would of preffered this. In your 4 word sentence, you have managed to grammatically f*ck up twice. Would 'have' and 'preferred'. Good effort though. As for the crest itself, your image there is much better. As said earlier, the 125, where the football should be, is just horrible. Edited 13 May, 2010 by B Rabbit
SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 or something like this... I know he's a miserable bastard anyways, but he couldn't have looked less enthused to be here...
krissyboy31 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I voted 'not sure' because I'm not the greatest fan of our current crest in any case and would have liked something like the YMA mock up posted previously. As others have said, it will grow on people and making the halo all gold, is a definite improvement.
Bailey Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Looks good IMO. I can see why some are complaining about the red ball but at the end of the day, it's just a badge. I'm more interested to see the kit that it'll be on!
The Farmer Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 (edited) Should of stuck with the gold theme throughout And be a bit more creative with the 125 Edited 13 May, 2010 by The Farmer
JRM Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Looks good IMO. I can see why some are complaining about the red ball but at the end of the day, it's just a badge. I'm more interested to see the kit that it'll be on! it might be "just a badge" but it is the symbol of the club, our emblem that is shown in the media and it is ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. The current badge only looked decent with the old style football. It then changed to the new style one which looked shlt and this one is even worse. 1/10 for effort
S-Clarke Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The gold touch is nice, but i agree with pretty much everyone here - the red ''125'' is wrong. The wrong colour and the wrong font. it's just a crest though at the end of the day, it will look so much different when it's on the shirts imo.

docker-p Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Would of preffered this. That is 100% better. Well done Super-Saint
dune Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Get rid of the bingo ball and replace it with a football and get rid of the gold and replace it with black. Here's my design...
Matthew Le God Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Get rid of the bingo ball and replace it with a football and get rid of the gold and replace it with black. Here's my design... Why that and not something from 1885 to 1974? Why only one based on the 1974 badge?
dune Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Why that and not something from 1885 to 1974? Why only one based on the 1974 badge? What?
doggface Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 So to summarise from all the posts, the vast majority think it had been ruined by the red blob. So who the **** are the 65% voting yes?!
Tartarus112 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Everything about it is really nice except the 125. Really don't like the look of that. But yh nice effort and maybe it'll grow on me. Be good to see it on the kits next season.
dune Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Should have gone with this, tbf.... Is that colonel sanders?
theyin Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 not very inspiring tbh, I agree with all the bingo ball/dodgy font comments looks like something knocked up by the parish council for their annual fate
whiteleySaint30 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Forget the crest, lets just see the new shirt. Any idea when it will be revealed??

krissyboy31 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I remember this it used to be on the side of the buses Sadly I'm also old enough too.
South City Si Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The crest looks like we're the Official Red Nose Day team! Should have gone with one of the old style crests.
Thedelldays Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 will they designate a home game (maybe evening) to have a big party..to roll out ex player/legends etc..?
Quickfire Double Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 will they designate a home game (maybe evening) to have a big party..to roll out ex player/legends etc..? Will there be any ex player/legends etc. allowed in SMS at the rate things are going?!
goodymatt Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 maybe if the black bit at the bottom was red then then it would be a nice balance of red and gold, however i agree that when sewn onto an actual shirt it will be better, should have gone for a retro football in there
Super_Saint Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 In your 4 word sentence, you have managed to grammatically f*ck up twice. Would 'have' and 'preferred'. Good effort though. As for the crest itself, your image there is much better. As said earlier, the 125, where the football should be, is just horrible. I can't edit what I type because I'm not a full member. I typed that in a hurry, sorry it bothers you but I'm not on here for English lesson. I think the majority would prefer having the football instead of the red 125.
Johnny Shearer Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Yep this is better - keep the 1885/2010 on each side BUT I would have had 125 in silver faded writing on the white background multiple times.
hackedoff Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The dates look fine but the red circle with the 125 looks like one of those badges you get on one of those hideous bithday cards.
CWD Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 I agree with the majority of people who hate the red blob. The gold is brilliant and really smart, but the 125 looks like it's been done on WordArt
docker-p Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 The more i look at the snooker ball the more it looks kak.
docker-p Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Agree, would prefer... Uploaded with ImageShack.us ...the badge should reflect the 'city' the football club represents, our current crest should have had a 'kin big ship rather than a 'New Forest' tree on it! That on the shirt would be ace+1
westofshannonsaint 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! 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 I don't understand why we need the 125 on the crest. The two dates tell us that there is 125 years of the club. Put the ball back on. I don't like the 125 but I'm not going to cry about it. I still think the kit will look awesome. Would of preffered this. Agree with the above, I can't wait to get the new sponsorless shirt the red blob will be insignificant.
SuperMikey Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Meh, it's okay. Not a huge fan of the 125 Comic Relief ball at the top, but the rest of it is fine. Just thought we'd have something a bit more different to celebrate the 125 years rather than just changing around a few colours and replacing the football with a clown's nose. Still, i'm sure we'll all think it's great when we see it on the shirts, would be quite unfair to write it off now!
The9 Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Assuming it sits on a red sash, the red blob / nose / lottery ball / bingo ball / bubblegum will just blend into the background anyway. But it does look a tad pants standing alone, and I do dislike the tacky gold. I still saif "yes" though, could be worse.
benjii Posted 13 May, 2010 Posted 13 May, 2010 Agree, would prefer...

That is great. Different, atmospheric and imposing
Quickfire Double Posted 14 May, 2010 Posted 14 May, 2010 You can please some of the people some of the time... I quite like it, but agree the red nose is less than convincing. I wonder if a controlled voting system on a few designs for the new home kit and anniversary crest might have been the way forward. By controlled of course, I mean skate sobotage proof.

I demand it be on an alternative voting system,or I refuse to play.
itchen_dan Posted 14 May, 2010 Posted 14 May, 2010 I think this is the best one by far (Credit - http://www.flickr.com/photos/50158367@N02/4603768374/)

The club really needs to see this. Although it will be far too late now as shirts/merchandise will have been ordered/produced. Edited 14 May, 2010 by Matthew Le God
Stu Man Do Posted 14 May, 2010 Posted 14 May, 2010 I think this is the best one by far (Credit - http://www.flickr.com/photos/50158367@N02/4603768374/) That looks SO much better Dan, hopefully the club will re-evaluate the design with the red blob I for one don't like it as it ruins the look of the design. I also quite like the idea of using a more "retro" crest seeing as this is a celebration of the history of our club.
Matthew Le God Posted 14 May, 2010 Posted 14 May, 2010 It is quite depressing seeing the badge above as the tweaks it has made to the original make it so much better. Yet there is no chance the club will adopt it.
capitalsaint Posted 14 May, 2010 Posted 14 May, 2010 I think this is the best one by far (Credit - http://www.flickr.com/photos/50158367@N02/4603768374/) that is a thing of beauty
