They are all decent to fair, as for the timing though :laugh:

Where is the rat/otter/dog thing jumping on the harts back?

As a kid it removed from our Hartlepool junior Cricket club crest as it was pointing out by concerned parents that it looked like it was bucking the Hart.

They have to be taking the absolute piss with this.

That tweet didn't last very long after the response it got.

New badge, new start.

They're all terrible, and the least eye-catching thing I've ever seen.

More importantly though, which idiot is going to buy any club merchandise with this badge on it when they know what their money is going towards?

The trust should knock out some retro shirts with an old school badge and they'd make a killing.

Two is smart as, they are traditional looking badges that will look decent on a blue kit.

I voted Classic number 2, however the timing amidst all this chaos, dear me beggars belief.

It's good to see the most important pressing affairs are being dealt with though.....

Not happy at all.

Now I feel even I've been shafted

I think they are gold not brown or yellow by the way.

And if they want a new badge in place for next season they need to get it chosen and submitted etc sharpish. Cant imagine its holding anything major back.

Sorry for being on the side of the club here btw.

I thought we'd agreed it had to have Humphrey's face, a thing on its back and some other stuff? Pam out!

Also no 5 looks like an arm patch for some rural Nazi movement.

Not being funny but no.2 has no mention of FC or Football Club! Just in the current climate.......

All dreadful. Did we actually pay someone to design these?

The first two other badges I googled were Manchester United and Arsenal, neither of those do either so maybe it's not as common as you'd think.

I should of done Arsenal and Reading really.

There's a link under the article where you can take a much closer look at the badges and see them in blue & white and black & white. #2 looks really nice in Blue & White.

Fake badge! Where's the National Rifle Association man blowing it's brains out?

horden · **Posted:** Fri May 05, 2017 5:25 pm

All shite , but I would go for no 2, which I'm pleased to say , so have most other people, so far.

Snowy · **Joined:** Fri Aug 18, 2006 12:18 pm **Posts:** 37661

I think 1 to 3 would be appropriate for us as the stags all look as if they've been taken by surprise.
The whole point was to get something new and different and all we've got is a rather bland mish mash of the town crest . A distraction.
A bit like showing the wine list to a man on the gallows.

Tbh I like the old one better. . At least it brought us SOME success and is a link to a Proper Chairman (Sir Harold of Hornsey)

All the turmoil to one side.....number two for me too. The diamond one is fucking dire.

Can't say any are particularly inspiring.

The lad prefers the current one.

I just don't like clubs changing badges ever to be honest.

Should have stuck with the nautical theme- picture of a sinking ship

This. It's not the town's crest without the backbiter.
