I really like it, it will look especially smart on a blue kit as well. Miles better than previous efforts.

Has the Hart got an itchy leg?

Why's it got no eyes or mouth or chin? I have know I Deer! etc, etc! Seriously, don't like it though.

Yup, I like it.

Well they got the hart and the pool in. Shame about the critter missing from its back but I guess 2 out of 3 is a song by Meatloaf.

Would have still have liked to see an otter on its back.

I think people should just embrace the new badge. I think people will come round when they see it on merchandise in the new shop etc. Presumably people were disgruntled in 1995 when the ship's wheel came in, but of course we didn't have the internet back then to complain so loudly. The way people go on you'd think we had the ship's wheel badge since 1908!

Agree ! couldn't of been any worse, but we have come close. Looks like a Hartlepool 10p coin.

It was a hound wasn't it ? not an Otter, but whatever it was , it looks a bit bland without something on its back.

Put it in blue and I'm a fan. Not too keen on this faded gold colour.

Missed opportunity. An unimaginative tired rehash of a boring design used by dozens of other groups in the town. Perfect for a bowling club blazer in it's stunning choice of beige.
Does it say to anyone Hartlepool United....? Does it stand out....?

It should stand out, it's Coxall's legacy.

As has been said, I'm sure we will grow to like it, that's usually the case, with replica strips as well.

Still I think it could of been a lot better. Was looking at League of Wales website after Harrison came and all of the club badges on there are better than ours, and some of these clubs are watched by one man and his dog.

Aye you're right there like :laugh:

I wont be buying the badge or the strip until I grow to like it, that's assuming I ever will, which surely from clubs point of view isn't the cleverest way of increasing revenue.

IT just looks like the badge for 'Hartlepool World of Beige Bowls Club' sadx

All of those badges are rubbish apart from Cefn Druids which looks very professional.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Sun Jun 04, 2017 3:56 pm

I might start a business making critter add-ones for the badge in a contrasting colour.
Damn I just gave my millionaire-making secret away.

We didn't have the money to replace the cyan ink cartridge in the office I'm afraid.

I think the new HUFC badge is a terrific effort from the kids at Throston Primary School. Beige stars all round!
