Google Bot 3,225 Posted November 23, 2021 Wonder if @cambridgeshire canary can upload to here before the club get it on their site? Apparently he found the image 28 minutes ago via his search algorithms, but is under um bongo so cannot reveal early. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do remember the BBC did something with the canary badge in the European year. Just an ordinary canary but then it turned and roared. It was beautiful Edited November 23, 2021 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought one day we might actually return to the old badge like some clubs do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted November 23, 2021 Most clubs which have changed their crest in recent years have done so because theirs looked outdated. I really don't think ours does, even considering it's 50 years old now. I'll reserve judgement though until we see the new one in ten minutes or so though.

Coneys Knee 932 Posted November 23, 2021 Given the choice I’d probably have kept the original but this new crest doesn’t offend me. It’ll do. Win some games and won’t give a monkeys if the canary has flown off altogether Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kirku 1,331 Posted November 23, 2021 I think we should pull a Cardiff and fully rebrand to better appeal to the Asian market. That'd really put the cat amongst the canaries Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,703 Posted November 23, 2021 Really disappointed with it. It just looks like someone attempted to draw the original one on Paint and made a bang average job of it. The only thing that looks better is the lion. The castle, canary and lack of a border are all worse. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,004 Posted November 23, 2021 I was all for updating it, but the canary looks a real mess. Feels like a missed opportunity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
