It'll just be that guy who does the Simpsons character depictions of our undeserving managers and completely irrelevant banners that we see peddled around the ground. It'll be some monstrosity with a angry looking Hornet and 1881 plastered all over it like the results of a quick wa*k.
Seems fairly conclusive to me that the current badge will remain. There will be too many fans that want to keep it against 5 other options. Five other options just splits the vote of fans who may want to change. Will need to be a fairly unifying new design that will change that I think.
I don't see the problem. As long as it reflects our traditions and history. Something like this will do imo:
You underestimate the club’s desire to crack a confused American market that probably have never seen a hornet but are inclined to feed one a carrot if they ever do
This could backfire badly as interweb poll things are fraught with danger. Heed the cautionary tale of Boaty McBoatface. https://www.theguardian.com/environ...tface-wins-poll-to-name-polar-research-vessel We could end up with Watford McW@nkface on our shirts for the next hundred years.
For that scenario to happen they'd have to present "Watford McW@nkface" as one of the new badges to be voted on, since they've said they will whittle it down a final 5+1. Somehow I don't see the club choosing any "comedy" offerings for voting options. I think the main issue will be how they will stop non-fans from voting.
Get Ticketmaster to run the voting. Granted, no one will successfully vote but that’s a price worth paying.
At least Luton fans don't out number us so we probably won't end up with a Hornet wearing a stupid Hat
Another sign that financially the club is on its arse. We can’t even pay for a graphic designer to come up with a new badge, let alone buy a decent defender.
I do like the current badge. But if there was a change then get rid of the Hert. I understand the reference to Hertfordshire but it doesnt really say Hornets to anyone who didnt know otherwise. Maybe change the font of the lettering and have an image of a hornet?
This has the potential to turn us into a (bigger) laughing stock. Looking forward to seeing the cringey designs.
