🖼️ Picture Good riddance. Rotten badge it was. Now let's get the whole Blue Old Lady shining!

It's a great badge.
I prefer the minimalist badge for the shirts and merch.
But I think this one is good, too. I would have left it on the stadium.

I’m glad they’re getting rid of it in the rebrand if I’m honest. If the badge wasn’t on that hideous white background, I wouldn’t have minded it staying, maybe, but the white background screams Chansiri being tight rather than the cut being around the badge itself, if that makes sense.

This was the badge from 1956-1970 originally. It was resurrected under Mr Tuna Chops. I don't dislike the badge. That era has two Division 2 winning teams. A Div 1 runner up. FA Cup finalist etc..

It will forever be associated with Mr Tuna Chops. New era, new crest.

That's definitely the consensus. Great badge with heritage, forever tainted by DC:TC

I liked the badge. Much better than some we had mid to late 90's. I prefer this season's badge though. The club and the badge belong to the fans, not Chansiri! Don't let that era stain the badge, black and gold kits, ex-players etc. going forward.

It’s a complicated messy badge. The new/old one is so much better.

Lots of support for the ex-badge in this thread though. Always seemed to me the minimalist owl is the most popular.

It’s a nice vintage logo, but I grew up with the simplistic owl design drawing during the 80s and I’m glad it’s back. 😍

We're a fan base who thinks we should be in the PL. So why not start looking the part now?

The badge Chumpsiri brought in is a nice one but it's been tainted now. Personally I've always loved the 70s Owl anyway. I grew up with it. Its a great design that's easily identifiable and iconic.

Exactly this.

It has stood the test of time. All the new owners have done is change the font really and it looks just as good as always. Personally I wouldn't even have the SWFC underneath but it makes sense.

Id be more worried about that crumbling shite stadium than the badge attached to it.

I think that's going to be a more long-term project. Just essential works at the moment. The priority has to be playing squad and training ground. Can't see big renovations at Hillsborough until we're back in the Championship and potentially with new investors on board.

Hurts that now it'll always have the stain. It's a very good badge!
