I don't like it. It's been gnawing away in the back of my head for ages. I'm all for tradition and I don't mind using the town crest but it's that stark white shield it sits on. Makes it look like something that's been hurriedly ironed on the shirt. Let me know when it's safe to come out of the cellar.
I agree, I like the club to be different and stand alone to the council. I miss Toby tyke on there opitimized barnsley folk
Completely agree, its a dreadful badge and no idea why we ever adopted it in all fairness. The 3 badges i always liked were Wolves, Wendies (yes yes i know.... but the badge was good... making it even funnier they abandoned it for what they now have!) and the Toby Tyke one.
I loved our white rose design personally. I know it isn't exactly unique related to the club, but I thought it was an appealing, simple image that could be recognised from a far, rather than the overly complicated coat of arms we have now. Also, I liked the feeling that the club was representing Yorkshire too...
So....even though Mansford got laughed out of court for suggesting a change....nobody much likes the one we've got?
Don't really have to look any further than this. I associate this with everything Barnsley Football Club.
