Yeah - they're logos now not crests or badges. Juve being a prime example. Made to look good on a small phone screen. |  |

Depressing if so. Football clubs are not corporations. |  | |  |

Fans are interested in merchandise and this is just another way clubs can continue to differentiate their product lines to create sales. From a business case it also makes sense to have additional brand recognition over certain symbols. In the same way Nike owns the swoosh or tick, Football clubs want to own the Lion, Cannon, Liverbird, Tower, Suffolk Punch etc to supercharge their own brand identity. The Suffolk Punch & the Football is every bit the Ipswich Town we've all grown up loving in the way that it ties to the area, the community etc We are lucky to have the most unique badge in the whole of the pyramid so I hope they don't stray too far from it but I don't mind focusing on other brand elements throughout their catalogue. |  | |  |

It makes marketing and merchandise more commercially acceptable and viable. Look at the prem logo and how that was changed. Sleeker modern design forgetting the traditional ways |  |

I like the use of a simplified badge for some items. Love the badge on our third kit but for me the Everton tower doesn't work. Home and away shirt I'd like to keep the traditional badge just cos but third kit and other merch can have a simplified badge. |  | |  |

| What's going on with club badges? on 11:15 - Nov 4 with 395 views | The_Major | There's been several occasions as well recently when on some kits teams have used old badges - Leeds have done their 70s smiley face one as well as the simple LUFC, Sunderland had their old ship badge, and I'm sure I saw the Newcastle magpie/NUFC one recently. It's our 150th anniversary in 2028 - maybe have an away/3rd kit with the REALLY old badge - the coat of arms - just to mark it? |  | |  |

Clubs no longer seen to care about identity and tradition. Football would be much better if teams were required to always wear their proper club badge, and to wear their home colours unless there is a colour clash away from home. |  | |  |

They use just the simple horse logo throughout the ITFC βvenueβ for hospitality etc, on uniforms and pin badges etc, and have done for some while. |  | |  |
