Club badges...

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

in light of the Leeds and Pigs badge debacles....do we have the best club badge out there? Biased of course but trying to think about this objectively and our badge is up there.

Anyone else come close?

Our badge is awesome, please, please, don't even think about changing it Kev, we don't want to look like a joke club, like Weeds or South Barnsley!!!
That's all.

Brentford's is nice, for a redesigned badge.

(Inspired by ours, I wonder?)

Once you start looking at club badges besides that of your own club, you're looking strictly from a design/aesthetic perspective. Purely on design, there are some contenders, but it's all subjective.

I quite like those of...

Stoke
Spurs
Palace
Brentford
Charlton
Portsmouth
Lincoln
Port Vale

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

It identifies the club. Blades, Yorkshire rose, club colours. A design classic!

 

[BouncinBlade]

Does anyone know if we have ever changed our badge since we were formed?

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Yes,not only in England but the world

No

Yes, I’m sure someone more technical than me can upload it.

Have we changed it just the once?

 

[BerksBlade]

Not exactly like this, but very similar...

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

How about this ....

We've basically had two designs with different variations. One based on the Sheffield coat of arms and the other based on the crossed swords.

It really is a thing of beauty. History, city culture and aggression all rolled into one. Visually both simple and stunning. It jumps out at you from a distance.

Arsenal and Wolves' badges for me also stand out.

None come close to ours though.

 

[Bladepicker]

I love ours of course - a classic. Has had the odd colour and propotion change but mainly stayed the same. Prefer it in a round badge form than as part of a shield that we've had in the past.

Others I like:

Everton's Tower
Preston's Lamb
Lincolns Imp
Arsenal's Gun
Wolves' Wolf

Bournemouth’s badge is a bit marmite but I’ve liked it since I was a kid

 

[FTPE]

Somebody once put the history of the Barcelona badge on here which was really interesting, but visually none come close to ours in my eyes.

 

[BigBed]

It's bad, but man Utd have a badge recognised the world over, they've stuck with it and I can't see them changing it.
Our badge symbolises our club perfectly, if something's not broke, don't try fixing it, you'll fuck it right up! (Proven by our neighbours n their closer neighbours!)

 

[bromtom]

Ours is amazing, I don't think you could get any better, simple, recognisable, has elements of Yorkshire, Sheffield and our nickname. It also has elements that can be taken out and still be recognisable on merchandise, like just the blades themselves.

As for other clubs badges, redesign wise Brentford is nice as others have said, Man City's redesign was good, Arsenal's looks nice but I prefer the 90's one.

Tottenham is a good classic one. Like the Liverpool one too, the best "fancy" badge imo.

 

[BigBed]

Simply, simply..... PERFECT!

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Think ours has to be one of the most instantly recognisable anywhere, especially for a club without the high exposure the Premier League brings.

Charlton I always feel is a poor rip off of ours. Cue someone telling me theirs is older. No matter, ours is better.

On a side note Wwnesdays could be confused with Oldham’s and one or two others.

Flew emblems jump out at you. Ours is one, which happens to be the best looking at it in a totally objective way.

Then there’s Man
U, Spurs and Arsenal.

After that none really jump out.

QPR and Millwall are very recognisable to be fair...

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

The lamest badges are those that just use the clubs initials - QPR, Fulham, Bolton, etc.

To be fair to the scum, their previous badge was about as good as you could get for one of those basic initials badges. Which, in a way, sort of makes it all the sweeter that their in-touch owner has sanctioned the new monstrosity

I didn’t know we had a Warnock badge.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Still a belter - from the days I first started watching the Red & White Wizards.

 

[BanbridgeBlade]

Still a belter - from the days I first started watching the Red & White Wizards.

Wouldn’t have fancied drawing that all over my schoolbooks!!

 

[ucandomagic]

Still a belter - from the days I first started watching the Red & White Wizards.

Which one is Lydon?

 

[Liverpool blade]

Our badge is the best. END OF DEBATE. BLADES FOR LIFE.

State of that....

I'm liking the new Leeds badge in a comedy sort of way, perhaps it could have done with having a head on top of the body, the salute a little higher, maybe under the nose and above the top lip, perhaps even with the signs of a little toothbrush moustache in there and instead of a clenched fist an open palm, the other arm could be more visible taking a more active role, another salute say, arm stretched in front of the head .... be the perfect match then ...

... marching all together!!!
