We might as well go the whole way and change the Club's name as well. After all it's not as though anybody recognises the name 'Accrington Stanley' is it ?

Perfect. Everybody will easily recognise that.

Why don't the ones behind the scenes direct their energy into thinking of ways to attract more supporters to the games or improving public relations instead of wasting time changing the crest.

New Club Crest
Monday 1st Mar 2010

Have Your Say
This Saturday’s match day programme will contain details of the new Accrington Stanley Club Crest to be used by the club from the end of this season.
The Nott’s County programme will contain a special two page feature that displays the top 5 emblem designs as shortlisted by the Accrington Stanley management.

The programme feature also contains a feedback section providing fans with the opportunity to input views, opinions and highlight favourite crest designs.

The club’s new logo is an integral part of Accrington Stanley’s brand identity and future marketing efforts, and your views at this stage of the design process are of great value. Make sure you pick up a copy of the programme this Saturday from the designated sellers and outlet so you can have your say.

Does that mean the Fans have the Final say?

Taken a long time to realise it was never copyrighted.

As daft as it sounds putting the crest in a circular badge will make a big difference to 'Stanleyfying' stuff

That ******* word there again, 'brand'. It makes my skin crawl.

The first thing that came to mind is why fix what isn't broke? I think that the club should be concentrating on the key areas of making the club commercially viable. This idea does not lend itself to this. I think the club should be looking at increasing gates and selling more merchandise. Surely if they launch a new badge this will then mean the home shirt will need to be changed for the second time this season. This is more likely to anger fans and mean they will be less likely to buy merchandise. Also with the current stock in the shop and outlet would this become redundant stock as it is no longer required. Would this mean that good money has been wasted?

I think the idea could quite possibly backfire on the club and is more likely to anger fans than draw them to it. The main things I would be looking at includes getting a ground sponsor, utilising the clubhouse more and making sure that we have a match and ball sponsor each game. Once these are done then other issues should be looked at.
