The9 Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 The current Fulham badge is still far and away the worst one in modern football. It means absolutely nothing, gives you no information about the club or its region, totally lacks any iconography, barely even reflects the club's initials, and looks like it was created by an 8 year old with a spare 2 minutes. Even the boring current Stoke crest says "we wear stripes". The use of town and city crests is obviously in the past, partly due to the complexity of recreating the designs and partially due to copyright and merchandising issues, but it's nice to have a badge which shows a tie with the area and some of its history. The recent Bournemouth reworking is nice... if you like having a meaningless 1980s styled head and ball representing your club - but then again, at least it is an image fans recognise and already associate with the club, just a shame they chose that moment to stick with it.

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 Maybe it's just me, but I'm really not that bothered. I have no problem with the logo being revamped every now and again. If I am totally honest, I don't see why some are so precious about it. Then again, I really wasn't overly fussed by the kit, which seemed to really wind a fair few up. FWIW, I like our current badge, but wouldn't be overly upset if it was changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_southy Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 Small changes to the badges are fine. Chelsea and Arsenal have done a good job of 'cleaning up' their badges. I don't see it as small changes to the kit. Cardiff are worst offenders here. We will follow if we don't get our stripes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattio Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 I'd like us to go back to the roses but the current one is also fine and signifies a lots of the local area. Do the three blue lines signify the sea or the three rivers of southampton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 24 July, 2013 Share Posted 24 July, 2013 I'm utterly perplexed why anyone has any issues with the badge being altered to bring it up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 24 July, 2013 Share Posted 24 July, 2013 I'm utterly perplexed why anyone has any issues with the badge being altered to bring it up to date. Depends what it looks like afterwards. I don't think what's happened to the kit inspires any kind of faith in a chosen new design being an improvement and given the anti-history that seems to underpin some of the club's activities it wouldn't be that unexpected if it was be changed to something completely new and with no Southampton or historical relevance... like, say, a bear.
