StuRomseySaint Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Is that sarcasm then? O.K, here's a more serious effort, you will notice I have taken into account our current managers name, genius or what?!
EBS1980 Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Would love to see a return to this style for us, ah the good old days...
Wes Tender Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 It wouldn't be surprising, given that the place got called The Dell. Agreed. I seem to recall reading somewhere too that the tree represented the dell (a small wooded valley) that used to be on that site. Somebody like Duncan needs to confirm that and make an amendment to the information on Wikepedia. Now that we are no longer at the Dell, perhaps we can drop the tree, as I see little relevance for connecting us to the New Forest
Wes Tender Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 I would like to see a return to this design: We could change the wording to read Rank Outsiders.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 (edited) Change the laurel leaves for a phoenix. like this maybe!http://www.bruceongames.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/phoenix.jpg Get rid of the crown, and put in the dates 1885 & 2009 as a reference to our club's arrival! Edited 2 June, 2009 by SOTONS EAST SIDE
gjphilsaint Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 I think if you got rid of the scarf, football and halo that badge would be brilliant. love the kit. send it to them! this kit and badge wold typify our fall from grace.. shoddy and amateurish... we would look like a Sunday League team. Leave it alone!
RedAndWhite91 Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Keep the badge the same and have a traditional, simple, red and white striped kit. Lovely.
BigShadow Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Now that we are no longer at the Dell, perhaps we can drop the tree, as I see little relevance for connecting us to the New Forest ....and replace it with a gas tank.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Keep the badge the same and have a traditional, simple, red and white striped kit. Lovely. This post gets my vote.
forever a red and white Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Keep the badge the same and have a traditional, simple, red and white striped kit. Lovely. agreed the only time the suggested badge should be used is for a 125 year anniversary kit minus the scarf and halo on top, that would be good for a season on one kit
smithy Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 I would like to leave the badge as it is, but I quite like the kits.
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 never fails to get a laugh! what were they thinking - there must have been some top notch skunk in the air when they went to the studio!
docker-p Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 Time to start the Saints in conventional Kit (SICK) campaign again? CHANGE YOUR IDENTITY AND LOOSE YOUR HERITAGE.
GeckoSaint Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 didn't gecko saint used to put designs up on one of the older boards? I've done hundreds of Saints crest designs over the years, but never really been 100% happy with any of them cos they're not the image I associate with the club I've grown up with over the years. Saying that it's easier doing it for other clubs as I've just done the new crest for Plymouth: Evolution rather revolution. It's not my favourite versions that was presented to the PAFC board but that's the version they signed off. Our crest is unique (well until the new QPR crest appeared) which I like, but also understand you can't stand still. Saints should definitely to something special to celebrate 125 years, so maybe it's time for an update but not complete change.
hamster Posted 2 June, 2009 Posted 2 June, 2009 I've done hundreds ..... Blimey! You get paid money for drawing a circle round a picture of a boat and spelling a team's name. Gizza job.
charlie saint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I've always preferred the badge we had before the one we have now, with the three roses... although it was only ever worn as a blazer badge. I'd like to see that on a kit. And I'd also like the late 70s 'candy stripe' kit back.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I said this a couple of years ago and I'll say it again. The club ain't going anywhere until we have a Green away kit. Don't ask me why, I've just got a feeling that a Green away kit would bring us good fortune. Perhaps someone with some creativity could show us some 'Green' designs?
ponto1963 Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I would like to see a return to this design: My favourite design too especially with the old style football onthe badge. those were the days; :-)
harwellsaint Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I think the current badge is perfectly sound, it says everything about who and what we are and where we are from. The fact that it has not changed for so many years (un like Leeds Utds way of screwing customers in the pocket every 5 minutes) shows how timeless and distinctive it is. Overall if you look at all football badges very few have been changed over the years at they are the rubber stamp of a clubs identity. yes yes and yes, it is a spot on crest leave it alone!
MOSaint. Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 Leave the badge alone, good idea but not to keen on the black in yours, new away kit anything with yellow and blue just get rid of that negative grey crap.
Fan The Flames Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I'm sorry but how is mashing together an old badge and our current one a proper rebrand. The old badge was awful anyway and what has a crown got to do with SFC. I thought the tree on the badge represented the green parks of the city and strength, as decribed on the old board by the designers grandson.
Channon's Sideburns Posted 4 June, 2009 Posted 4 June, 2009 I will not be happy until we go back to the old Rank Xerox style kit... Birmingham had an Umbro kit similar a couple of years back - can we have one??? Feelgood factor would be there...we were at our best back then...
SaintRobbie Posted 6 June, 2009 Posted 6 June, 2009 In the 1970's the Club had a competition for fans to design a brand new badge, the current badge is the result. As its the 125th year of Saints and a new era of ownership I thought I'd have a go at bring the club back to its 1885 traditions. Here is my idea. Have a go yourself and post designs in here. We could then have a poll vote thread of the best designs from the thread. Please don't turn this thread into a discussion about if the club should have a rebrand or not as that has been done before. Just use it to show off your creativity! A combination of old(1885 badge) and current badge It looks like the Army Intelligence Corps badge! Clearly inappropriate for so many reasons given the recent history of this club!
Griffo Posted 6 June, 2009 Posted 6 June, 2009 Our badge is fine as it is. Represents some of our history, and is not commercialised and modern like the new Arsenal badge, or like american football teams' badges.
SKATE_HATE Posted 7 June, 2009 Posted 7 June, 2009 I would like to see the away kit like this: Very good i want one!
The Kraken Posted 7 June, 2009 Posted 7 June, 2009 I posted this a while ago, I'd like to see a return to the Rank Xerox kits of old, with this as the away kit.
Badger Posted 7 June, 2009 Posted 7 June, 2009 I would like to see a return to this design: I posted this a while ago, I'd like to see a return to the Rank Xerox kits of old, with this as the away kit. I too would be quite happy for a return to the 'Keegan era' shirts. As I've said previously on the subject of these kits, it would seem appropriate to return to the shirts from a time when Saints were at the 'pinnacle' of English football.
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 8 June, 2009 Posted 8 June, 2009 (edited) Ooops! Edited 8 June, 2009 by Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 8 June, 2009 Posted 8 June, 2009 (edited) I'll get there in the end... Edited 8 June, 2009 by Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd
Master Bates Posted 8 June, 2009 Posted 8 June, 2009 Personally I wouldn't mind:- Because it's easier to draw?
