Are the club's colours changing?
I don't think I see the need for a new crest to begin with. The previous crest was gorgeous, and I am proud to have it on a jersey and a cap. Putting in a new crest says to me the old one wasn't good enough, and I don't see that being true.
Awful.
Absolutely dire.
Hopefully, a rethink is in the pipeline.
Apparently not, home jersey for next season is all green (Hummel) according to rumours. The crest is appaling though, and the explanation even worse.Quote:

Crest is dreadful. Shocked looking castles, flag of surrender on a ship that won't fit through that gap, no club name, no idea of what sport its for, wieird use of shadowing on the castles and boat and horrible colours too
Just noticed they have replaced the Cross of St Patrick (as per City of Cork crest) with a red burgee (to warn of damage) and put a white burgee on the ship (surrender).
Alternative crest
Love the comment about the white flag of surrender. :D
That's one aspect I didn't even notice till you pointed it out. Makes it even worse than I originally thought.Quote:

What was the reason for the new change? (Marketing waffle aside)
We've had the same crest in various colours since the club's inception. In fact, this isnt even the first time a city crest has been based on black.Quote:

I like the colours. :D
How can you have a black and red crest and keep a green and white strip?
Looks like a bit of cheap knockoff of the L37 crest. What does two Castles and a ship legging it have to do with Cork by the way?
It's based on the previous one, just bastárdised slightly. Cork Harbour, I'm guessing.Quote:

It looks a bit like a mid 80's record sleeve and the boat alone is confused as a Jazi. The low profile of the bow suggests something like a Viking longboat and then the sails skip a century or seven and appear to be of the type seen on a Portugese Man-o-war. Symbolic of Corks long history as a port? Then why not stick a chimney stack, an outboard and an Irish Ferries logo on it as well?
Think there's some kind of livestock on the Sligo crest.Quote:
