As has been said there's a history to the badge which is integral to what the club represents. It's old, yea, but its certainly not broke so why fix it? There will be countless opinions about anything else which gets suggested so why not just stick with something that represents our town tradition and heritage? The badge hasn't done anything wrong! Keep it.
Personally I don't like it. It was never used from when I started going in the sixties til, probably well into this century so it's hardly traditional for the club either. I think it's perfectly possible to come up with a nicer one but accept that I'm in the minority on this.
I'd keep the coat of arms but I prefer a circular bage like the Toby Tyke one, looks better on hats. Might look a bit Man City/Chelsea though.
I always disliked the rose badge, it doesnt really represent the club or the town. The current one is fine, though if we were to change, my choice would be an updated version of the oak leaves and well badge
Well I've stated my genuine opinion but we could have a badge with a bloke lying down representing a homeless chap or a bloke off his head on spice. We could have the new bridge in the background. There's always an alternative to owt but the current one has a wealth of detail on it, looks good, has emotional and historical context which still resounds in the borough and dare I say looks very human and proud with the guys standing as they are. Keep the badge or all hell breaks loose on an alternative.
