While there's not anything wrong with the existing crest imo, if the new crest was a nice original design then I wouldn't be opposed to it.
As Adam pointed out, maybe they want to break from the past and have a crest which is representitive of the progressive Dolan/Lennox era.
once they have got some ideas in, they should put them in the programme and on the web and let the public decide by voting for each of them, or, if you don't like any of them, vote to keep the old badge. That seems fair enough! Personally, i say SAVE OUR CREST!!
I was thinking this myself yesterday. I think it's unlikely the club would go this route, but they should. It would be a fantastic way to build camraderie between the club and the fans.Quote:

Aye. Think it would be a good idea. Get the fans involved.
I'm not opposed in principle to changing the crest. I'm sure any new version would incorporate the current one.
Would be nice if the fans were given a look a few options before any change made.
no point knocking it until we hear the reasons behind it (and see the altenatives offered)...
i'd imagine the reason is business driven as has been suggested, copyright or simplification to emboss the crest on a variety of merchandise.
I think if some effort is put into it, it could be a good idea. There is no point letting someone at the club loose on it. If they want to change the crest they should take ideas but get a professional to do it and not some cheap which is quite likely to be the case.
We've all heard stories about how various t-shirts and strips have come about.
:eek:
I like our crest, there is the Cork City emblem and a football, leaving the viewer to belive our club has got something to do with cork city and football.
Why change what works?Although a little latin/Irish motto at the end would be cool.
So long as it has nothing to do with Rebel Army bunkum...:oQuote:

I don't think that anything "fashionable" should be included on it.Quote:

No slogans just the club title and a symbol which can make the club identifiable.

I wouldn't bother changing it, I think its nice, but what impresses me is how this is being handled. As opposed to just deciding on a change, Lennox is consulting the fans and inviting ides and comments. If it is to be changed it should be after consutation.

The above is an interesting example of an updated/improved crest.
Watch'all think?

definitely an improvement over what they had, looks like it belongs on a GAA jersey though.
theire old crest was appaling though, not a problem city have.
New Galway one a huge improvement on that old one shown.Quote:

What kind of things besides a football, Cork symbol would be added to a CCFC crest anyways?
The new crest ,I'm told, will be the Cork crest,ship and castles, with a star above it and Cork City FC under it. So I've been told by someone who would know,and who saw it before the idea was mooted in the programme.
