    Fooking horrible logo.
    Jeez.
    Shi.te.
    Can’t see many kids picking a sports bag or taking a top off the shelve with a lame logo like that on it.

    He is right though, it's actually a horrible logo but it liked by many because of their age and the memories it brings back. If you look at it objectively it's quite literally just a picture of an oak leaf plonked near a clip art picture of a well. The two don't even interact with each other or even line up.

    Fully understand why people of that generation like it though

    They’ll sell shed loads of those.

    Great memories of a great side.

    I'm not a fan to be honest. It's the name of our stadium, not something that identifies the club or the town. I'd love to see a great big oak tree planted inside the grounds with a well along side it, but I'm not that bothered about it on the shirt.

    I've always thought we've struggled for an identity, changing badges so often, then going with the council coat of arms rather than something of our own. I'd like to see us form our own identity, I'd like to see a Kestrel on the badge... the book, the film, two fingers to the world, a kestrel for a knave, working class values, a struggle against adversity, but proud and magnificent and deadly.

    You think clipart was a thing back when that logo was designed?

    I didnt mean that it was literally clip art that had been found and used, merely that it is in the style of clip art. However, yes it did exist. It existed long before the Internet

    I quite like the logo used for the hall of fame and think that could be used on the shirts with a bit of tweaking. The west stand is synonymous with the club and shows we are proud of our history

    The plain red shirt has an elegant simplicity. Clarkie chose it because we’d be unique: the only club in the Football League to have an all red shirt with no contrast trim.

    For those of us who were around at the time, it’s probably a bit less about what’s on the shirt and more about the team that wore it.

    They too had an elegant simplicity.

    If I’d got an hour to spend with a designer I could produce a logo that would sell thousands.

    Just an hour.
