Don't really like any of them but would go 1 and then 3 if had to make a choice. 2nd is terrible. All feels like a distraction we don't need really. Would rather be hearing about new players and new stadium plans!

Option 2 makes me think of asparagus.

I'm a fan of the 4th option - keep the current badge. Why's it not there? If #1 was the existing badge and someone suggested replacing it with the clip art football wearing a crown as a new option it would rightly be laughed out of town. |

Option 2 makes me think of asparagus. Is it my eyes or do the longer arches above the CUFC look wibbly? The uprights don't look straight, and I can't tell if it's optical or deliberate. |

3 for me solely because the first badge I remember was book and ball. I had an enamel badge of it.

Not a fan of monochrome badges, but I think they need to be looked at on each of the shirts to see how they will appear in actual use. Notwithstanding the fact that by this time next year, when we will see it worn on a playing kit for the first time, the shirts will be different again!
Out of those, No 3 for me I think.
Predictably, because of the subjective nature of choice, lots of views/opinions/disagreements being aired, which was always going to be the case. You can never please everybody! Good luck to those making the final decision, based on an extensive consultation process. Analysing the data is going to be a task in itself.

Option 2 makes me think of asparagus. I was thinking Bishop's Hat, but asparagus or Leffe are also solid contenders. |

For me, number 1 will be by far the best badge on shirts, woolly hats and tattoos.

I thought 1 was ok but very generic at first glance, but on reflection I think 3 might be best but looks incomplete at the moment. Adding United in Endeavour might make it feel better.

Regarding Monday's query re St Andrew, in case of doubt this is all about the Abbey Church on Newmarket Road opposite the Five Bells pub(as was). The church was formerly officially known as St Andrew's(after the St Andrew the Less parish as known in that vicinity once), St Andrew himself still sits atop the main entrance, take a look sometime but before it gets levelled.
Anyway to get to the nub the first Abbey Utd teams were selected from the congregation of the church, in particular the choir. Check out "Farewell, old friend" and "Anatomy of a new badge project" for further explanation.
Forgive the delay by the way,I've been at the health farm for a couple of days. Looking at this morning's "reveal" a quick return is earmarked.

All 3 are better than our existing badge. #3 for me. Timeless/classic.

They resemble logos for a corporate accountants in Uttoxeter Business Park. I'm excited by the thrusting client leverage proclivities and meaningful high-net-worth-value brand encounters these GO AHEAD logos will foster.

Would rather be hearing about new players and new stadium plans! Agree with this statement Dan completely. Option 3 looks like it could get dated very quickly, Option 2 looks upside down so awful. Option 1 my favourite though agree with other comments about it looking quite generic, but then don't a lot of clubs these days. Can we just have a player announcement with the new badge and we'll all be (mostly) happy then I'm sure. |
