New Emblem.
Tuesday 4th May 2010.
Accrington Stanley have officially launched a new club emblem.
The new emblem was presented to fans at Saturday’s fixture versus Chesterfield, as part of a substantial change to the way the club is branded. The new design will be featured on the club’s future kits for the first team, reserves and youth squads, training wear and replica kits as well as all stationery, signage, and merchandise.
The new 2010/11 Accrington Stanley away strip which was bearing the new club crest was also showcased to the supporters at Saturday. However the previous logo, the town crest of Accrington, will still remain on the current red home strip for the 2010/11 Season after the club pledged supporters an 18 month strip in December 2009.
The brand was produced by local design company Academy Print at the Media Village, after successfully winning tender for the big project. Speaking about the new brand ASFC Marketing Manager Martin Edmundson commented “the whole process for the club’s new emblem has been very thorough, from selecting the right company to deliver the project, right through to ensuring the fans and supporters could also input on the matter.”
“The club are very happy with the final product as it marks a professional new era at Accrington Stanley whilst maintaining the valuable history and heritage of the town and the club.”
The club’s previous logo was the town crest of Accrington, where the local council held rights over the image that was used by Accrington Cricket Club.
Think it looks OK personally and is nice on the new strip
