After reading all the garbage from BBSs about the new badge...........

...........I have come to the conclusion (and it wouldn't surprise me if the directors have come to the same decision) that it would have been much easier and better if the directors had chosen a new badge and then just announced it..........

Because asking the fans on here has just stirred up a lot of nonsense.......e.g. I like the badge from 1987, I like the current badge, I have designed something myself (that looks like it would be at home on CBBC)

Let the directors that know something about marketing and selling the club make the decision about the new badge.............otherwise my fear is that it will look like a dogs dinner

 

Which Directors would they be then ?

 

If it had been left to the directors they would have presumably instructed the same design agency who would have offered them the same options. They would have chosen one and it still would have looked like a dog's dinner.

They are all crap, but I fail to see how letting the fans choose makes it any worse.

 

Directors..........arr Maurice, Ben, Pat...........and Big Bazzer Taylor

 

A red rose in a Leeds white rose it is then

 

All clubs going through a brand 'refresh' exercise involve supporters groups. I have been through the process for a number of clubs. BFC needs its identity sorting out. Most fans agree that's the case. The directors also realise this. However acknowledging this is only half the battle. Appointing the right calibre of agency is absolutely critical. Sadly this is where the board have made a mistake. From a fans perspective the options put on the table are not appropriate. In addition and speaking from a design stand point, anybody with a creative bone in their body can see that aesthetically the options provided are well below standard. Now whilst we can all debate the aesthetic value of the ideas, if the 'concepts' are flawed from the outset the project is doomed to fail.

 

Totally disagree..........the new badges are very good..........and I really like option 'C'

 

But after all your comments about using our Yorkshire connection, what do you think to a red and white rose on the badge?

 

As you know I would like 'Yorkshire Tykes' to be part of the badge..........but the club has gone a step forward in recognising the importance of the name 'Tyke' (as in belonging to Yorkshire) by including a large white rose in the centre of the new badges.
In my opinion the option 'C' looks really good.

The name Tykes belongs to us................and not Leeds United.............in saying that you have to credit Leeds because they recognised the importance of the white rose decades ago and that is why they grabbed hold of it.

If Ben is serious about attracting a wider audience then he needs to look at our nickname first..........its a way to encompass the whole of Yorkshire

 

You dont half post some ***** n ******.

 

Well what about the red rose then where dose that fit in to the yorkshire ***** your peddling,

 

Vast majority of Yorkshire couldn't give a flying **** about us. We need to look at reclaiming the stay away fans and those who follow the likes of Wednesday, Leeds, SheffU, ManU et al while living within Barnsley. That's our audience, that's what needs attracting to the club before we even start thinking about trying to pull in people from across Yorkshire.

 

If the Club had come up with the best design in the world it wouldn't have mattered, the moans are as predictable as a Keith Hill post-match interview. I reckon if the club came up with a way to turn water into wine some folk would be complaining it wasn't Stella. In a country of professional moaners some Barnsley folk would be in the starting 11.

 

Your moaning

 

But I'd prefer them turning water into Kronenbourg......

 

Oy are you allowed to moan as there's one or two on here that never moan and think your not allowed to put your views so better watch it:nails:

 

Soz Marlon.....you're absolutely right, this is not a forum for portraying your own views.

I consider myself chastised.

 

He's moaning.............but he's also spot on

 

In your opinion obviously
