Unless you are one of the new investors/sponsors the club are touting with the new badge then it’s unlikely their customers/clients will associate CUFC with us rather than other clubs with the same initials. Why would people be any more likely to associate the initials with Carlisle or Colchester than us? You just have

Still option 1 for me. Don't hate any of them, but think it looks best on the shirt (and elsewhere).

Option 1. Never going to please everyone. Not really bothered about any of them to be honest.

You mentioned Carlisle and Colchester, so an easy mistake for any potential sponsor to make too.

Surely nobody makes that mistake. You don't sponsor a football club and not know who you're sponsoring.

Think it would have been easier for the club to just pick a badge and tell us.

There's enough criticism as it is, just foisting something on us 'without listening to the customers' would be carnage! It's quite likely that the Board will swing the decision and choice the way they want, but at least we feel like we have been consulted.

I would imagine they already had chosen and all of this is to give an air of pretence to the whole thing. A bit like democracy in general!

"Think it would have been easier for the club to just pick a badge and tell us"
Maybe, but that approach would've left us with the awful design proposed last year so I'm happy they didn't do that(!)
If the choice between the 3 is an illusion of democracy then I'm happy enough with that too, I'm smart enough to know that I'm too stupid to care about being manipulated.
Another thing I don't care about is whether or not someone from outside the Abbey knows it's Cambridge United. I'd argue that anyone who knows there are 3 CUFC's in the football league probably knows the difference between the respective club badges or is at least interested enough to find out for sure, anyone else is probably one of those dumb types you meet that say 'i dIdN't eVeN knOW tHeY're wAS a fOoTbaLL tEaM in CayMbRiDGe"
Savages.

The club have stated that the reason for changing the badge is that it will open up new sponsorship and investment income. They should now tell us how each of the proposed badges are likely to produce that result and why. Supporters can then make an informed decision based on their personal preference and it’s potential to achieve the club’s aims.

Badge consultation sesh open to supporters this Thursday. I must say I'm coming round to option 2 with the updates from Dylan. It's definitely bold and different.
