    Fat weirdly spindle legged bees or American football over simplified oddness

    Interesting nothing with the moose included

    Options C or M for me
     
  5. Option B looks like a rather cross mum bee with hands on hips

    M is probably my favourite. Simple and effective.

    Agree about L being clever. Toss up between L & H

    I do wonder if these designs could age badly/quickly.

    K is probably my favourite, some of those are absolutely horrific though.

    Quite like C & D as well, the ones I like all have similarities with the city or Chelsea badges. Simple, modern yet also traditional.

    E must be some kind of sick joke.

    Some are much of a muchness and not any more appealing or standing out than the current one.

    A couple of these are ok but some even contradict what was written on the brief. Including "The club like that the current badge is not a traditional shield or circle". Can see a few of those here! Some are strong as designs in themselves but the styles are completely innappropriate for an English football club (basketball maybe!). Shame that the panel did not include any designs that featured Harts. I submitted several designs with Harts as I think the Hart an important part of the clubs identity. I remember often doodling it (badly) in school. My designs were not brilliantly finished but I preferred the overall idea and look of mine to any of these selected. I have also seen some other designs not chosen that I feel are much stronger. Seems very much like voting for the Brexit withdrawal agreement and in this case I expect we will Remain! Fair play to people who spent many hours working on these designs. Hope the best 5, then final 1 get picked as the competition does deserve a winner and runners up. Looks like the moose is here to stay though. Long live the moose!

    D or K for me, but wouldn't have either ahead of our current badge i don't think.

    Yep, the email says only the 5 will be made public and to keep the rest private.

    I've also just changed my vote on the poll to No! There are a few okay designs, plenty of terrible ones though. M is the best design, but I don't think it's for us.

    I’m all for moving forward but these are dreadful. The hornet really doesn’t work does it.

    Absolutely dire. All of them.

    And the terrifying thing is it's a bunch of drooling mings who get to make the decision.

    God help us.

    A - OKish
    B - Awful
    C - Not bad
    D - Too 1950s
    E - Not for me
    F - Dreadful
    G - Dreadful
    H - Jar of honey?
    I - OK
    J - OK
    K - Like D, old fashioned looking but very similar to Stoke City in design (yellow for white)
    L - Quite nice
    M - Horrible
    N - OK
    O - Ditto D
    P - Another weird shaped hornet silhouette?
    Q - Not for me
    R - Reasonably stylish, doesn't look too retro like D & O.
    S - Not great, random antlers ruin it
    T - Not very good

    L is my favourite, but I, J & N aren't too bad.

  24. I like R. Because it says 1898 which is a nice change from 1881.

    I Agree. Alongside submission A they are the best designs IMHO with R in third.

    Removes any confusion with the singing section.

    A.

    Got board after E - Too many flies and moth shapes.

    Stick with what we’ve got, change doesn’t suit us, besides, the moose confuses the hell out of everybody else.

    I can't edit my post now, so can one of the mods remove the link posted please? Wasn't aware the club wanted it kept under wraps. :)

    Ta!

    I wouldn’t beat yourself up. They don’t like the leaked kit designs being made public each year either

    The club says they need to remain private. So we abide by that. No more links please. As I said imagine 15 fat bees and 5 American football versions of bees and you have it

    You’ll all get a vote on the final 5. You aren’t missing much

    L might be clever, that doesn’t make it good (as a football club badge) IMO, quite the opposite. It’s extremely tacky if you ask me.
