SNSUN Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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...)

benjii Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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 Share 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.

krissyboy31 Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Farmer Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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.

goodymatt Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Saint Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hackedoff Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westofshannonsaint Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 13 May, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfire Double Posted 14 May, 2010 Share 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.

Matthew Le God Posted 14 May, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
