    Close to what I would like, but without the legs.

    Could even just go with a large version of the Hornets head

    In which case we should adopt the Man U badge.

    Ideally add your number so the RSPCA can get in touch.

    I hope they don't change the badge. It is a statement of where we are from. There is a Stag or Moose on the crest of both the town of Watford and also on the county of Hertfordshire. We have precious few traditions and links with the past, please don't take this away.

  10. It is the ultimate dumbing down to force the nickname onto the badge. Nobody actually calls the Baggies 'The Throstles'. Nobody calls the Toffees 'The funny looking Windmills with no Sails'. Besides, are we not 'The 'Orns', anyway?

    Give or take half the Premiership clubs have got their nickname visualised on their badges though..
    Bluebirds- check
    Gunners- check
    Eagles- check
    Seagulls- check
    Foxes- check
    Hammers- check
    Red Devils- check
    Terriers- check
    Wolves- check
    Saints- check (sort of)
    Mooses- ermmmmmm


    PS I always thought "Orns" was shorthand for (h)ornets not (h)orns?

    If you were a clever marketing guru wanting to build a global, positive, friendly image would you choose a hornet? Err, I mean who wants to be associated with a peskey insect? People tend to have a revulsion of hornets and want to steer clear of them!

    Since when was BH cool?

    You are Tim Wonnacott and I claim my five guineas.
     
  14. Of course it is. This is just a happy coincidence.

    Who mentioned Brentford and their badge, I keep getting adverts popping up for Brentford matches, Brentford shop, etc.

    That would be me who mentioned the Brentford badge, belonging to Brentford FC.

    I’m still getting grief from the cleavage ladies.

    Did one of you, cheekily, reply to me with a ‘Let’s keep abreast of developments’?

    Those breasts are now weighing on me.

    Fair point.

    Not Bowie cool.

    More Widdecombe cool.

    My club badge tattoo will become even more retro in the future if they change the badge making me both cool and old simultaneously. Time to change it.

    Interestingly nearly 50% want a change. I didn’t think I’d see that.

    Excellent point.

    Tigers, lions & rhinos are better animals.

    The Keith Richards positioning.

    Difficult to pull off but traffic stopping if you can.

    Somebody must have designed the current badge and someone must know who that somebody is. Why has no one ever tracked him down and have him explain exactly why he drew a stag looking like a moose? He should be held to account.

    A suit (now ‘happily’ retired in Norfolk and suffering from long term memory loss) from a marketing company (now defunct) came up with several options which were put to the board members for their perusal and decision.
    Unhappily the slick presentation was done after lunch and several bottles of Boardroom Beaujolais.

    Blame the blurred vision of the Directors.

    Should keep the current badge. I like that it looks like a moose and doesn't make any sense, it kind of sums up what supporting Watford's all about. The only people that know that it's supposed to be a hart are Watford fans, everyone else is baffled by it. Long may that continue.

    Looks under 21 so doesn’t take a squad place.

    But no one knows what the new badge would look like and there will be no consensus once it's agreed that we should go ahead and change it. Deja vu?

    Lol.
    And it wasn't even a good vintage but the cheap Beaujolais Nouvoue.

    FWIW - I asked the deer stalkers (not note hunters) on a shooting site whether the definition of a hart had anything to do with the number of points on the antlers:
