Not for me - surely we have to keep some tradition what with the move away from the Boleyn. :crest:

How about replace Hammers in top right corner with current crest then you have the best of both worlds?

There's been an outbreak of rampant paranoia over on the 'General Discussion' forum!:

I'm not very comfortable with removing the castle from the badge.

I think this needs to be parked until we have got used to our new home.

We don't need to change everything at once.

:eh:

Why? Personally I'd much prefer us to back to our traditional crest without the castle:

Much classier than the 1970's re-hash we are currently stuck with.

That is excellant. Prefere the logo's swapped round to have the ancor in the middle though

I cant design anything on my pc because i dont have the skill or software but i was thinking.

How about someone try and design the badge using......

The current badge shield shape and colors

Remove the castle and replace the castle with a Birdseye view of the outline of the Olympic stadium, maybe thin lines and colored white

Place the gold iron hammers over the top of the Olympic stadium outline, nice big and bold

Then move the west ham united wording and put it above the badge and then add the word London underneath the badge?

Thoughts?

Interesting to see the responses three years ago as opposed to the last three months.

Is the SAB working for the club or the fans?
