Title: New badge
Post by: janaage on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 18:30:12
I know our current badge isn't that old, and isn't due to be replaced, but a friend of mine just posted this effort on FB. Have to say I thought I'd hate it as I clicked the link, but I like it, a lot. 

Not that a change is going to happen, I wondered what the thoughts of the masses were?

You're not wrong, I do like that.  And it follows the rule of tincture (which our current badge does not. >:()

I like it, but I like a bit of tradition too. Not that we've had a consistent badge over the years. I like the train being on there, prefered the 80's/pre-prem 90's version though

There's no choo choo.

We didn't make rails, we made choo choos.

CHOO CHOOS!

Nice effort mind.

It's good, but I've never been keen on the whole Robin thing. Every other fucking team with a red shirt has that nickname including two near neighbours. Even Charlton who've got at least two other perfectly good nicknames use it.

And I agree with Honkytonk I want a train on my Swindon badge.

My first thought on it was: Morecambe. Probably because of the shape of it more than anything.

If it's not this I don't want to know.

Just copy and paste the whole link...

It's not bad, I'm not massively keen on the shape of the badge though.

Agreed and for this reason i don't like the badge

Think the team should consider a change of nicknames myself, they barely get used but would give the club some identity

Reckon fB was behind it, but remember people made suggestions then he put them in, or not depending. Still makes me laugh looking at that.

Could we do another one to bring it up to date for the current situation?

Agree... have to say I love the badge visually. If it had a train and our motto on it i'd be happy with it adorning our shirts.

For that matter, who made up our motto?! Health and industry!?

That's the Town motto, not just the football club.

That's quality. Would maybe change some of the blue to red though!

Works now, wasn't happening earlier at work.

Not a bad effort at all but prefer our current one.
