Re: Change of Crest
 
I thought it was a joke when i was told about this, and thought great another thing i will be out of date on as not got new shirt (now thinking phew ). From a reproduction point of view, the badge is hard to re create in other formats leaving embrodiery being the main expensive option and not much in competition for prices for the club. A simplified version would open a few more doors for merchandising production. Think the fans should have input into it as then it would feel OURS, but means hands in pockets for us tho if they get products cheaper then we should reap a cheaper price in store then that would be fair enough.

Accrington Stanley F.C. Crest & Club History :) Nowt wrong with what we have IMHO! Leave well alone if the club wants the town's population to embrace the club keep the crest as it is!! its part of the towns heritage which is reflected in the club and towns crest:)

Re: Change of Crest
 
What I find difficult to understand is that something as important as changing the club crest was first communicated to fans in the Commercial News page of the Stanley programme.

Did the club not feel a decision like this deserving of a more high profile launch or were they just going to spring the new crest on us at the end of the season?

Was the decision to change the Crest made by the Commercial Department alone or one made democratically by members of the board?

' The new emblem HAS been designed to mark the new beginnings of the club' ...quote Saturday's programme.
Sounds like they have been working on this emblem for some time!

The new beginnings of the club should reflect openness and transparency whilst involving the Community that the club serves.

Whether or not we agree on a change of Crest , we, the fans must be consulted.

You don't "tidy up" a piece of history - you preserve it and take pride in it!

You obviously did not read the Fulham programme then WH :rolleyes: :)

In which case the club crest should be the Hyndburn one shouldn't it ?

Quick question for the traditionlists. Would people be happy if the current crest was simplified in some way, or does it have to remain as is ? By the way I have no knowledge of what the new one is, I'm just curious if a slight change would be acceptable or there is a very strong view it has to remain as is.

There are lots more pressing issues for anyone at our club to be working on

How about getting the Stewards to talk to fans like human beings for one......

Well as I think that most of us know, at least one of the current Directors, does occasionally post on this board, so I think that we should wait and see what transpires! I am sure that for the sake of Transparency and openness, we can await a reply!!!! After all isn't it our club :confused: :) :)
