That is quite interesting. My great-grandfather lived in Norwich and bred canaries (tho actually worked on the trams and, later, buses). Also, one branch of my Norfolk ancestors may have been among those Dutch immigrants, judging by the surname. |  |

I certainly forgive you - interesting read thanks. Its mentions the Strangers... My dad used to go to the Strangers club in Norwich which had a nice rule that anyone turning up had to be bought a drink by someone already in the bar, whether you knew them or not.
Not sure about the addition of white in the branding and would have preferred more of a bottle green and a more mellow yellow, but hey ho. |  |

That may be the worst typeface / font I have ever seen.
The gift that keeps on giving that lot. |  | | |

Despite being a designer (of sorts - digital handyman on web sites style) i've never truly understood what makes a good font. I just go by vibe when picking for a new project. bludy charlatan. | |

I actually like the re-branding. It looks really smart. The problem is the colours and the canary thing. Alien yellow and bilious green. Not good. The canary? I’ve always thought it a little embarrassing for them, but there it is. As for the article, it’s a bullsh1t bingo players paradise:
‘The graphic patterns are all derived from a single grid which allowed the studio to create numerous iterations of different graphic volume for a range of applications, explains Rhodes. This range is designed to include the digital and physical touchpoints in the hope that it stays “relevant to the audience and channel,” Rhodes adds.’
Wow.
As to the history of the area, it’s really interesting. |  | | |

Even on a basic level, you show it to a load of people and when 80% go yeah I like that, it's probably better than when 80% say WTF is that.
I'm open to compliment Norwich when it's necessary. Some of the charity work they have done, work with the disabled etc is great, I have mates who are Norwich fans, despite hating the colours, some of your recent kits have been really well designed, but the canary in the new badge, the font and the intensity of some of the graphics are just horrid.
But if most Norwich fans love it then it's a job well done. Not sure how it's gone down there. That's ultimately what determines if the designers have smashed it or not, not what I think. | | | |

The Athletic had a long piece on this last week. It was actually quite interesting despite the subject matter. |  |

"Norwich City’s rebrand pays homage to the region’s history of genetic weaving, or interbreeding, that it is proudly known for." |  |
