Would you like to see the club badge changed?

Yes, it would be 1877 on it lol.
Although, in my defence, we were set up in 1874, as Christchurch FC...

I know mate. I just meant it is debateable whether you put Christchurch or when we became BWFC. I hope this symbol goes to BWSA though. Best of luck and well done on a great design.

Thanks mate. I'd presume it'd be 1877, because that's Bolton Wanderers, and all the stuff in the club shop etc has 1877 on it.

I don't want to piss on anyone's chips here, and while I'm sure it is a fun topic for conversation, you do realise there is the square root of fcuk all chance of them changing it, don't you?

They spent fook loads on the old one, went to the trouble of copyrighting it, printing it everywhere, basing a worldwide campaign to push the 'brand' with it, and folk reckon they'll change it coz fans don't like the ribbons, and someone has come up with a pretty alternative. Nice to discuss but I wouldn't waste my time.

Anyway, who cares if everyone hates those ribbons, some marketing prick probably decided they represent calm or some bollocks. That shit is important.

Is this not all a little bandwagon-esque? Go on, what's the beef? The folded ribbon under the previous badge is superior to the ribbon under the current one how, exactly?

This is just an absolutely pathetic cause celebre amongst idiots.

A share an opinion of many people and its jumping on a band wagon?

The reason I don't like the ribbons is that I think they come out too far, they are around the same size of the logo, so when being printed etc our actual initials become less prominent.

I also think they spoil the symmetry of it as well. You have these perfectly round initials, then something just hanging down the sides.

That's a bit harsh. Band wagoning? I've heard quite a lot of fans complain about the badge. Maybe there's actually an issue?

I'm not saying we'll get it changes at all, or even that there's an appetite for it, but if the majority of our fans don't like the badge, it's something that needs at least thinking about

I agree. Just another opinion. Not pathetic, not bandwagon-esque, etc.

Also as the fans, i think we have a right to raise something if people have issue with it. A club is nothing without it's fans, therefore fan's opinions should matter.

Does anyone know why it changed from being a proper badge to being 4 letters?

Apparently a competition was held circa 1970 and the round thing was the winner!

I liked the badge we had in the nineties, it was pretty easy to doodle on school books. Them ribbons do look shite though.

Owen_Coyle · Post by **Owen_Coyle** » Wed May 11, 2011 3:19 pm

We had this same discussion (if not vote) a couple of years ago.

Each to his own, but I'll reply as I did then, that we must be struggling for proper topics if we are moaning about the badge, or what music is played after we score (as in other threads).

Some have too much time on their hands I think ???

Anyway I voted NO just to be part of it !!!!
