New Everton Crest Confirmed

[nigelcoyb]

Amazed at this result I hold my hands up and say I thought it a waste of time trying to get Evertonians to complain any more - well done all - I was wrong for not joining in.

Fair play to the club for admitting they got it wrong, just a shame they didn't look in their crystal ball and foresee the obvious outrage in the first place.

 

[HSD]

They really did have to, they had a petition of over 20,000 threatening to boycott all merchandise and a 99% negative feedback ratio.

To put it bluntly, to keep it with no retraction would be the equivalent of trying to sell people sand in the desert.

They literally had no choice - proper backs to the wall stuff.

Even so, they didn't have to take notice, not all petitions are acknowledged for things. Yes, it would've been silly if they hadn't taken notice, but if they hadn't wanted to, then they didn't have to.

And here's to hoping Elstone get's sacked. "Our Chairman had demanded widespread consultation and we stopped short of that."

But does it still mean we have to have the badge for next season?

A cult classic !!

That 'evolution of the crest' video on the everton website is a bit of a weak attempt to masquerade the way in which this pathetic course of events has lead to us being stuck for one season with a 'modernised' monstrosity which can now officially be called our new f*ing badge!

So the ugly badge will still be used for a season.

They literally did have to, that's what I'm saying - literally no other option. The threat of a 90%+ drop in merchandise sales and the national press coverage means the Kitbag/Nike would have been on the blower pretty much instantly.

Basically, they've had the arrogance to release this thinking the plebs would take it on the chin, saw their arse for their elbow at the response, realised that every person in the EFC marketing process could lose their jobs if this bore fruit and the obvious final answer has arrived now.

 

[Brownie]

Thank **** for that.

 

[dbignall85]

You know what's going to happen, we'll win a cup next season and forever be reminded of the terrible badge

Self-proclaimed "People's Club".

Yep. Can live with that though, knowing it will be the "Peoples badge" the next season!

 

[tommye]

Not fair play at all. They had no choice. Monumental cock up by the club.

 

[Chuff84]

so is there a thread for design ideas or what like?
