Will soon be 29 years old. A very good design and will be here forever with the looks of it. Chapeau to the graphic designer who came up with what can only be described as a masterpiece. How many on here have it inked on forever!?
 
I reckon our badge is one of the best, no two ways about it. Everything has a meaning and it's all placed perfectly.
Weirdly have been looking at club badges and their origins lately, blame boredom, and some of them have history and are proud of it, Barnsley is one, and some are hated by their fans, Bournemouth is a good example. Which to me looks like a advert for the sea lions at skeggy.
 
Worst – Southampton, by a country mile IMHO.
Quite like the fact that Birmingham haven't changed theirs...
 
I can remember as a kid when the new roundel badge came out with the all-white strip and I loved it. I couldn't understand why the old buggers were so up in arms at the change from tradition, I lived with that badge all though the seventies but in all honesty, looking back it was a bit naff.
 
The 2010 is certainly the best of the three 'new' roundels, although personally I would prefer the type to be a bit closer to the central circle and hence slightly further from the two outer circles. A chap I used to work with did the 125 special, the best part of which was the blank shirt IMHO. (y)
