Question Club Crest - keep current one or design a new one?

[EastGreenNutter]

Change it and while your there change the name to Southend City.
Fresh start away from the rat.

 

[Strykr]

I know people that are very scared about the new AI revolution but going by mine and @North Wales Shrimper AI generated badges they cant even spell Southend.

I don't think we'll see Terminators walking the streets anytime soon

We might see toorminarturs tho.

Pfffft.

After everything we've been through United seems more appropriate than ever.

Agree, we are the united. Regardless of who "owns" it.

 

[cerbera45]

the knives, the shrimp, the sea all make total logical sense. For me they have to stay on any current and future crest/badge

Someone did this study on our badge a few years back. Worth a read if you’re interested in this debate.

This is the history of our crest according to him.

He came up with a few new designs

What the hell happened in 1976?

I'm currently tucked up in bed with a horrendous flu so I won't be at the game today

Feel free to DM (or publicly reply here) your ideas and I'll get some made so we can all see

*Caveat

I'm very much in the boat of not needing a complete new logo, but I do think a modern tweak could really bring us in to the new era *please see my previous posts*

 

[Supershrimper]

Perhaps traditional / current bage on the home strip and an updated / modern badge on the away / 3rd kit like @SeldomSeenShrimper designs

Ha Ha! That was exactly my reaction.

We may well be safe for a few years yet.

Knives!?

Well the city is going a bit that way of an evening, to be fair.

Here's the great Alan Moody, receiving yet another award. What a defender he was, and of course he holds the record for appearances.
This photo shows the shrimp thing doesn't work.

Perhaps on leisure wear, Polo Shirt etc

Bring back the Crevette clothing range!!!

 

[Shrimper]

Would like to the retro SUFC text styling on a third kit

How times have changed! How many fans will be wearing a collar and tie in the paddock today?

 

[Tony Allen]

I'm for tradition - everybody involved with the club be they good or bad have their allotted time but the badge stands outside of that

 

[Mad Dog Shrimper]

Leave the badge well alone please.

 

[GIBBO]

Can't we change the ball in the badge to an old school football? It look better?!?!

 

[mark387]

I also did this version ...

Basically it's the current icons on the old shape View attachment 30985

I think this with Southend United across the top of the crest and bordered like the quadrants would look great. Or Southend at the top and United under the badge.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Leave the badge well alone please. I like the Navy Blue as well. Have been a supporter since 1963 and I am pretty sure the shirts then were Navy with a White Pinstripe.
