Saw this post a while ago and thought I’d add the tawdry story behind that logo.
I am a graphic designer from Hitchin, I’ve seen the team untold times since I was a kid. I've cleared snow off the pitch, I've helped at 'spring cleaning' days, I've contributed to fundraisers etc etc. I designed numerous items for the club over the years and proposed a new club badge long before this (sadly the suggestion gained no traction at the time).
A few years ago someone inflicted themselves upon the club and started to impose their idea of a new badge, which initially was hilariously bad. I was asked to collaborate with them but this person gained control of the project and I was effectively sidelined and excluded from the process. It was pretty much a fait accompli by the time I found out.
Despite all the deceit, I still hoped the new badge could be something to behold, but it is bland, uninventive and utterly uninspiring. It says nothing at all about the town, and each time I look at that canary it seems to be cowering.
This badge is more about an ego and the padding of a portfolio than it is about an exciting new identity for an historic football club. |

One more for the "I hate VAR" camp.
Bloody awful thing. Refereeing decisions, rightly or wrongly, sometimes go against you. Grow up, accept it and carry on.
It's infected the A League over here as well (because they have to be seen to be a 'proper' league - just like the Premiership), and it just slows down an already pedestrian level of football.
I'd wholeheartedly support someone taking VAR somewhere quiet and doing away with it. |

Just got the 'upped their game' ref.
Yes, legitimately trying to watch in Australia. Hopefully we'll get to see the second half comeback. |
