Re: Club Rebranding
A wee bit on the website blurb about the old crest
Hmm. Seems odd. Does Reebok hold sway over it, or sumfin, idk.The existing ribbon-style crest that was introduced following the move to the Reebok Stadium in 1997 will remain in place as the club’s stadium crest.

To me it suggests 'We can't be arsed changing the big sign on the side of the stadium'mrkint wrote:A wee bit on the website blurb about the old crest

I'm not looking forward to the QQ sign going up (though the 188 is shite enough itself). Maybe the ground will be renamed "The Cash-Point Stadium" ?

If that's the case then I hope they finally put cash points in the stadium. Sick of trudging to Asda just to get some cash for my half-time Bovril!bobo the clown wrote:Probably costs too much to take it down !!mrkint wrote:A wee bit on the website blurb about the old crest

Great stuff!

Maybe this one can?
And I like the 1877

Re: Club Rebranding
The 1877 is O.K. It's the clumsy redraw on the BWFC roundel and the ribbon which is disappointing.CAPSLOCK wrote:The only one can't be protectedBL3 wrote:You've completely missed the point.

Re: Club Rebranding
Well I really like it. It's about time we had a proper badge.
Re: Club Rebranding
It does look like a fairly ameteurish attempt to me.

Bit of the old with a modern twist! I like it!
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

There's one at Bolton Arena if that's closer for you!r0ckpaperscissors wrote:If that's the case then I hope they finally put cash points in the stadium.

I much prefer this badge, they should be changing the one on the stadium too though.
Re: Club Rebranding
side-by-side for easy comparison..
if I tried hard to care that much..
1) the old one does look dated - naturally... simply to go back to that (I think) would be a mistake. For one thing - the name curled around top and bottom Bolton Wanderers does look a bit Microsoft WordArt to my eyes...
2) the new one - maybe a ribbon/banner with softer curves rather then the starched and ironed hard-folds would be softer on the eye - also, they have re-proportioned the lettering in the BWFC roundel - giving proportionately more space to the FC then the old logo did... which looks odd to me as I practiced as a boy drawing that and getting the proportions right - and I never found it easy! schoolbooks were covered in aborted and crappy-looking reproductions!
overall - nowt outrageous about the new badge - clean lines - simple - it'll do...

Re: Club Rebranding
The old badge didn't have the words 'Bolton Wanderers' on it and the rose was far more detailed than it appears on the version you've posted. It looked like this:

Yeah .... but that also had Frank Worthington, Willie Morgan, Paul Jones and Roy Greaves in it, amongst others.BL3 wrote:The old badge didn't have the words 'Bolton Wanderers' on it and the rose was far more detailed than it appears on the version you've posted. It looked like this:

Re: Club Rebranding
BL3 is right that the 70s badge is different to the one Bish posted - from memory, those curved words appeared around 1995 (so ClipArt era, but also first top-flight return).
Bish is right that the old proportions look better - more BW than FC.
I strongly suspect that Caps is right about copyright protection - it's one of the reasons Arsenal changed their badge about five years ago, with the gun going the other way. Folks were upset, especially those with tattoos.
