New club crest

[HolmesfieldBlade]

I don't know if anyone noticed (or I'm late) but at some point the club updated our crest. It features a white stroke, more even proportions, simplified handles on the blades and neater typography (nicer writing).

The new badge first appeared on our 2012-13 macron kit.

Above I've attached a comparison of the old implementation and the new version. Curious to see if anyone even noticed there was a change.

Prefer the old one it is burned into my psyche

 

[Sensiblade]

The rose is no where near as good on the new one

 

[LoughboroBlade]

I was worried that with just a few days to go to the new season and no other kits out we'd have a lack of things to be outraged about.

I'm outraged myself. Particularly as I voted for Crest B.

 

[stringjunior]

Well, would ya look at that....

 

[Trigger Blade]

Blimey, when did they get rid of the sheaf of corn?

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Does anyone remember the track suit, late 80's I think which had a red rose

Imagine the furore if they tried that today !

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Never noticed, think the new one looks a bit neater with more prominent Blades. Need a new mouse mat now...

 

[ListerBlade]

Good job we swapped, don't think adidas would have come along without the rebrand...

S11Blade - i mentioned this in the kit thread when people were talking about "making their own" shirts with knock off Malaysian badges. Don't think anybody realised we've had a white border around for some time now.

I can't wait to see people in their home-made shirts that look like something they bought from a beach shop in Benidorm.

Slightly off subject but....
That's one hell of a club crest!
I know I'm biased but I can't think of a better one!!

I think only the Barca one comes close. (and if you want to read about the history of their badge - http://www.fcbarcelona.com/club/identity/detail/card/the-crest)

Confused! They are both 'new' badges, and below is the 'old' badge. Which was great

 

[JJ Sefton]

I hear that next season the white rose is going to be replaced with Paul Acton's face.

Even that is a relatively new one. We used to have the City coat of arms.

Aye, well as the only professional club in Sheffield

Even that badge is just a simplified version of the city coat of arms

On Rothman's Football Yearbook and other football handbooks in the early 1970s they had our crest as the one SEB posted on the SUFC profile but our shirts had the coat of arms. Rather confusing! When we first had the present crest in 1977 then there was no confusion

Why does it have the English flag and the stripes of Bradford City and Crystal Palace in the badge ...

Who is Paul Acton?

The red and yellow stripes are the colours of Catalonia.

Were they founded by an English person?

 

[Blade for Sale]

The 'English' flag is actually the cross of St George, who happens also to be the patron saint of catalonia.

St George is Patron Saint

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Patron Saint of Milan as well;

I think St George is the patron saint of the city of Barcelona. Got told that once on a visit

That might be more to do with the fact that they were founded by someone from England

No, same reason as Barca

 

[Highbury_Blade]

As were Barcelona. Two of the founders were English.

Indeed. They use the English "Milan" rather than the Italian "Milano"

St. George is the patron saint of Catalonia.

I imagine BOS was being facetious mentioning Bradford and Palace but just incase...

The Yellow/Red stripes is the flag of Catalonia.
The english flag is the flag of St. George
The blue/red stripes are Barcelona's colours.

I remember after England played Spain in Madrid and all the racist chants were aimed at our black players, one of the english clubs played Barcelona the following week and Barcelona fans held up boards showing the St. George flag on one stand, the catalonia flag on the other and the words "Catalonia is not Spain".

They do this quite often and many see themselves as Catalans not Spaniards. I know a lady who lives in Barcelona and she "claims" she didn't cheer when Spain won the World Cup. Apparently it's a massive thing around that area of Spain. They want independance.

Valencia are also Catalans and both Barca and Valencia have been known to have "Catalan kits"
