    Absolute farce. They are all desperately poor & laughable. Especially 'E' looks like a hornet wearing clown boots.

    A Looks like 3 year old scribble
    B Looks like it's been corporately designed & aims to turn us into an American NFL team
    C looks like a wasp.
    D looks Chinese
    E Looks like Hornet in clown boots.

    Perhaps the club could concentrate on getting their first league win in months than this farce. What an absolute disgrace.

    Great descriptions, absolutely right.

    Definitely not A
    Not B
    Definitely not C
    Definitely not D
    Definitely not E.

    So I guess it's B then but all pretty disppointing. Still the email says we have 3 more days to wrack our brains to make a decision.
    Can we request an extension and then have a referendum to overturn the original decision to replace the badge, now we've seen the dreadful outcome we are faced with ?

    Don't forget the winner of these 5 will be up against the current badge in a vote. So same badge it is then!

    So it's like a confirmatory vote ? Interesting idea that.

    Bang on, that was my thought entirely as soon as I saw this thread had been posted on again.

    Tweeted the club for all the good that will do. I genuinely think we'd have a passable badge and then they can credit both artists

    After seeing these just voted No in the poll and will be voting for the existing badge when given the opportunity.

    Still at least none of these designs are as bad as the one Leeds proposed last year!

    I just had a cunning plan, that I would vote for the worst one, thereby ensuring our current badge wins.

    But I've just discovered that picking the worst one is just as difficult as picking the best, they are all equally horrendous. It's really quite an achievement (I've also just emailed the club this exact post).

    I received an email today, inviting me to vote for one of these ghastly emblems and I'm glad to hear from this thread that I'm not alone in my disgust. I couldn't pick one. They're all terrible.

    I will vote by booing the team until I'm hoarse tomorrow. I don't see what else I can do?

    E with the outside shape of D

    A is too simplistic
    B is too NFL
    Don't like the shape of C

    Good point - no-one from the USA etc is going to care what the badge of a Championship club looks like ..

    Tbf I think the current one stands out and well if they think the Hart is a Moose then so be it !

    I don’t believe there has ever been an instance in history where Italians have rigged an election, vote etc or acted underhand to secure a victory.

    I’m confident we’ll end up with a moose’s head on our kit next season ;)

    So which one have the club already chosen then? Which one appeals to our Chinese overlords the most?

    Why did they release this pile of crap in the build up to such a vital game this weekend. Surely all minds should be focussed on the Muff. I wont able to think about Muff for days after seeing these monstrosities. Was the aim of the exercise to defile the football club, the global graphic design industry and also the entire history of human creativity?

    A is the worst. Those ******* piss poor wings

    B is also the worst. Weird American thing

    C I don’t like at all.

    D just goes down hill form here ( dame Edna)

    E awful

    stick with moosey, make less moose antlered. Use in monochrome as in the socks on the club shop. Winner.

    they’ve admitted defeat in the whole “ we won’t change against the will of the supporters”

    those options are horrendous.
    Everyone just needs to email and say no change

    I mean, if we are insistent on reverting to 90's clipart, can I suggest the paperclip?

    Reliable, dependable, binding.

    Plus change the red border on D's shield to Black.

    I think that would actually look pretty decent. Anyone good with Photoshop?

    I think we can all agree that we vote remain. Anyone, even as a joke, voting for any of these f ucking awful awful heinous monstrosities needs to be shot in the left bollock with a very rusty harpoon and left to die in the sun
