Google Bot 3,929 Posted November 15, 2021 Doing the rounds, watching interviews with Dean Smith, I stumbled across this chat:- While watching, I couldn't help think about how much larger their tunnel is for players to come out vs our tight corridors and that bend at Carrow Road doesn't even allow you to line up beside the other team. Then, coming out you see those two lions by the door with the "Pride" text at the side, lions claw/slash as the 'I', i.e. you know you're at Villa Park and it's their territory. I then started questioning our colours, the Canary on the badge and how we're not really all that intimidating. I adore what we are, and it's something I've never really judged in the past because it "just is", But, Are we just a little bit soft inherently? 🙂 We have a lion and a castle on our badge, plus the heritage of the city reaches back into Roman/Iceni and Norman conquests. should these be promoted more to build a tougher mentality that we build on as a club? I'm thinking a massive tapestry design that depicts Lions as they defend the castle with some quality wording underneath that defines the club, such as "Never mind the danger". But how the hell do you fit a Canary into that kind of identity? Have them riding lions? Commanding them? Spikes on their legs? Anyone else question such things? This international break is taking it's toll on me, I feel. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least make the lion look less like a melted toy would be nice, we could work on scratches and fighting canaries after that first step perhaps? Maybe Dean can draw Lions?

yellow_belly 227 Posted November 15, 2021 I have found this “Scary Canary” online. Perhaps our new badge was leaked by the marketing/ merchandising department?! 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebigfeller 200 Posted November 15, 2021 Guardian headline before the play-off semi-final second leg in 2002, as Nigel Worthington highlighted our opponents' tendency to kill, maim and disfigure, and called for strong refereeing: 'Canary demands protection from Wolves'. But the OP is right. We're soft as ****. Probably the 'nicest' club in the whole of England. But that's why I fell in love with the club - Millwall 2-3 Norwich, nice guys beat the ultimate bastards in a game for the ages - and our badge is truly who we are. It's BEAUTIFUL. 😍 And it will be only ever be changed in any way over my cold, dead body. 🤬 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
