The Badge will change whether we like it or not I prefer 3 (the Book and Ball) with Design 1 in 2nd place. I don't like option 2 but can see that it would be unique and stand out. I guess whatever we vote for it will be the one that the owners like best. We are evolving as a club and are not so little old Cambridge these days so I guess we need to get used to change as there will be plenty of it coming in the next few years.

I've stickied this thread, as we seemed to be getting multiple polls on the same issue, presumably because this thread keeps getting missed...
I've deleted the other poll.

Why can't we have a fourth option of keeping the current one on the message board poll?
Is it not in the interests of the supporters to understand how deep rooted the desire to keep the current badge, or indeed get rid of the current badge, really is?
I feel like a lot of people still want to existing badge to stay. Where is the harm in putting numbers on it? Or has the club got the message board admin on side too?

nope, nothing to do with the admins. We didn't set this poll up, but I can't see why your argument justifies two polls running at the same on the same topic.

I mean, we could, but we're only really representative of ourselves.

As my son said the middle one looks like an artichoke! Important to note the age of your son and that he could do better on the back of your voting slip.

I didn't include Option 4 because it's never going to happen.

I went for option 1 as it is the only one with a Cambridge connection showing Magdalene bridge from the Cambridge crest. Option 3 has the open book which is ok and I prefer a shield to a circle but if it's a choice between the bridge representing Cambridge or the book as a sop to the uni then the bridge wins. The club is town not gown. Option 2 is just daft.

I feel like a lot of people still want to existing badge to stay. Where is the harm in putting numbers on it? Or has the club got the message board admin on side too? Its not an option though, is it? Nothing is an option for the message board, we don't run the club. It wasn't an option for Liam Bennett to stay here instead of going to Walsall on loan, once the club had decided it would happen. We still debated it. I thought the idea of a fans forum was that we could discuss what the club is doing and decide how we, as a fan base, feel about it. That fact that *a* number of the fan base are strongly against changing the badge is undeniable. That fact that *a* number of the fan base are also strongly in favour of changing the badge is also undeniable. Where is the harm in having a poll on here, now that we know which options the club are giving us, to see whether any of those options are as popular as retaining the current badge? Feels very much like the club are shutting down the discussion. Why? What are they afraid of? Except the obvious answer that the poll *might* show the vast majority prefer to stick with what we have, rather than take any of the three new options we have been presented with. I guess when the club has already decided, they'll do anything to avoid a supporters message board being able to put an actual figure on it. Of course, the message board doesn't represent all fans, but like an election exit poll, it will give a fairly good indication. That the admins are preventing the question even being asked suggests they're either in favour of a change and are therefore shutting the poll down for personal reasons, or they are working with the club to ensure the question can't be asked.

Or the volunteer admins of an unofficial messageboard are just keeping things a bit tidy? Honestly, go look at some of the forums of other clubs, they're 99% hideous.
Anyone in favour of "Option 4" is perfectly vocal about it already, with or without a poll option!
