New Everton Crest Confirmed

[Tree13]

If they wanted simple they could'e done something like this. Doesn't need to look like a cartoon, which is apparently how modern design has to look... -.-

If we have to dispense with the crest we've used for the last ten years (and I don't accept that this is the case) then I'd take this over the travesty put forward by the club every single time. Every single time.

It highlights an important factor - the new rendering of Prince Rupert's tower looks abysmal. The existing version has been used since forever and should not be altered.

Takes guts to admit you've been wrong. Few on here would do well to remember that.

Bit of a difference between being wrong on an internet message board and upsetting hundreds of thousands of people.

Dell Boy, if this was the first time the clowns who run this club had screwed up I'd agree with you. In fact I'd be the first to defend and applauded them but they are just a joke. Sorry if that bothers you but I've had enough of my beloved club being made a laughing stock by these clowns!

But look forward mate and draw a line - it would have been worse if they'd ignored the bad feeling.

Life's good. We've now got a sexy spaniard playing ticky tacky after 11 years of Moyes!

Ok look if what I said before come over the wrong way and I came over like a smart arse, that wasn't how I intended it to. Clearly I was ott. I'm just pissed at about everyting going on for me just now so unfortunately someone has to take the blame and the idiots who run this club semed like a good target to me! Again, wasn't trying to piss anyone off.

It isn't "guts" what they've done; that would imply they had a choice in the matter. They didn't.

"Guts" would have been one of the clowns having the bottle to speak up during the clandestine mess they set about doing in the first place.

As for admitting when wrong, I could vault plenty of instances of myself doing just that. Thing is, I don't expect a freaking medal for doing so.

Thanks for that. It's good to see that not just the club is big enough to retract and apologise. Cheers mate.

Had to laugh when Elstone was covering any blame from Kenwright in the official statement.

imo the badge looks good it's the only way for the Everton brand to take a step forward. Arsenal did it and look where it took them.

But Arsenal's badge doesn't stick out like a sore thumb mate.

I respect the apology, and at least we only have this badge for one season! I'm glad they've listened to the fan base.

 

[Gwladysyoungestson3:16]

Stan Lee Park, I still think we are run by total utter fool\tools (take your pick!). For me the people who run the club make it so easy for me and others to hate them that no one should be supirsed when supporters go crazy at them!

Would be quite amusing if, after the next season, we all end up liking the badge and don't want it to change...

All the detail on the current badge was an issue with manufacture. Want to ship lots of units and turn a quick (Nike) Buck ($$$) then sell out and forget your heritage and tradition. Hell if owners can change a clubs colours so totally to help rebranding and merch sales then how long before we're in red to help push the brand in China with the rest of them...

elstone went ballistic with staff over fans early reaction to new crest. only back in last week after broken arm/shoulder.

To be fair to Cardiff re: colour switch, that actually made sense as they're a Welsh side and they want to be the number one side associated with Wales, and being red helps to achieve that. So I can sort of see the logic.

However, releasing a cartoon drawing of a badge for no real reason is a puzzler. But ah well, alls well that ends well eh?
