I'm not against change and I feel we did need an updated badge, but the annoying thing is they've kept the elements of the old badge that I didnt like anyway, the bloated sheild, everton and 1878. All they had to do was keep the wreaths, tower and maybe put EFC beneath it.
 
I think some kind of protest needs to be put in place, a premier league game would be to hard to keep people away from but the Goodison pre season should be targeted, try and keep everyone out of the ground that night.
 
When I first saw the announcement on the Everton iPad app I was shocked as I knew nothing about it. I then saw the comments all of which were rich in vitriol and hate for the new design. I am a change fan and I thought surely the new badge can't be that bad....however when I saw it I had to agree its absolutely amateurish at best. It's awful, the shield is too heavy, overweight in fact and looks ancient against the other badges of famous teams who will be at the US tour in the summer, embarrassing.

I do agree that the current badge is cumbersome and has unnecessary items on it (Everton outside the badge, the pointless wreaths, the inaccurate jailhouse...the roof, width and fence totally inaccurate, and the complicated 'sash/scroll, holding our famous NSNO logo). So I agree change and modernization would be ok...if we knew about it and got a say in it but we do need to keep our traditions.

If you look on the Everton website at all the crests side by side, the current (nowoutgoing) one however is still easily the best version, the 'new' one looks like it came from the 70's and a kid drew it after a few shandys. Not just a PR disaster but a marketing one too, as the old crest is still highly prominent and visible on all Everton websites and apps....a shambles and rightly a laughing stock. Sort it Everton, admit an error of judgement and before it costs even more to put it right later, let's reinstate our badge now until a proper modern crest can be agreed upon.

Are you for real , Just how do you propose to do this, by force ?
If you have enough support for your cause then a simple boycott of the fixture should be suffice,problem is you haven't.
I despair.

I suspect a boycott is exactly what he was talking about.

But hey, why let that get in the way of a good rant.
 

By force don't be daft lad? The blue union, to whom I know afew, could put a proposal for a potential boycott out. I'm talking about a pre season not a competitive game.

I despair? Don't patronise me behind your keyboard pal. It's a suggestion on a forum of opinions
 
If the club go forward with this as the media s***storm swirls around them and then appoint someone who is no accepted by the fanbase it could be a summer this club will not forget with an EGM due soon.
 

Kit was delayed a few seasons back due to manufacturing faux pas, then there was the time the One to One logo was wrong, sure getting it changed over in a Bangladeshi sweat shop wouldnt be an earth shattering upheaval for NIKE.
 
Duffy being his usually ****tish self on twitter. Honestly why do players feel the need to get involved. He's only not arsed as hes not good enough to wear it.
