Save Our Crest

We like the current crest because its familiar I suppose.

If one of the new suggestions was brilliant I woudn't mind changing.

The above is an interesting example of an updated/improved crest.

Watch'all think?

i prefer their old crest... new one is dire... there is nothing modern or imaginative about it
i like the italian crests.... would suit our style of play better as well

When the evil forces of Leicester City were thinking about changing their name (not sure what the new name was) they did what Lennox did put a notice in the programme, they had both options out there, gave the fans alot of time to consider both options.
Here's the clever part, then at a league game every fan was given a sheet of paper with one name on each side, they displayed it at half time and the fans voted to keep the old name.

I think Lennox should put an example in the programme of what the new crest might look like along side the old one and give people time to dwell on it.

that was when leceister's new owners were considering reverting back to the club's originaly name 'Leceister Fosse' i think

Big difference to changing the name of the club to something jnot used for a long time than changing what really is a fairly naff CCFC crest.

On the otherhand i think CCFC should take its time getting a good new crest cos ist not something you should continually be changing.

Best thing is probably to keep it similar so doesn't date.

btw anyone know what kind of things previous Cork clubs have had on theirt crests?

**A face** · 15/09/2003, 6:23 PM

Am i right in saying that all this was a plea from the club to the fans, asking for their input into developing (or not as the case maybe) a new club crest.

It is NOT a "Sure we'll wait and see what they (the club) come up with" and then slate it if you dont like it.

For the record, i think we shouldn't change it but would be interested to see what people would like on it and what their reasons would be for changing it to whatever design.

Crest Idea

**tiktok** · 17/09/2003, 6:15 PM

nothing happening at the end of that link NOTL.

agree that the idea should be to keep it simple.

**joe** · 17/09/2003, 6:26 PM

right click, copy shortcut, then paste it into the address bar

**James** · 17/09/2003, 6:34 PM

or on a mac

control and mouse click
copy link to clipboard

then apple c into a new window

**tiktok** · 17/09/2003, 6:36 PM

cheers lads,

i like it NOTL, definitely heading in the right direction
if i was to have a criticism (intended to be constructive)
i'd incorporate some green into it, and i'd lose the word established (it'd be a b!tch to embroider

)
otherwise, nice one.

Keep the crest as is I say.

Keep the Crest as it is.

the idea of the star above the new crest_ as far as I know City have not won ten league championships or the World Cup so why do we get a star??

Could have sworn i tried that before but there ya go tis working now...

Not a bad effort at all. I think part of the problem with the current crest is has no backing (i.e. like a shield or something...)
