I cant help thinking Trojan's is more appropriate (though perhaps not perfect) for the head occupants of the town hall. :na:

Another one of my favourite Greek inscriptions is SEMPER FIDELIS.

Aye, Greek, as it's on the City coat of arms up the road.

It must really p*ss them off when they run out to it at Home Park.

The new Morecombe and Cheltenham crests are a joke! Imagine a cartoon Gull on a big shield - no thanks :no:

I see Plymouth have released their new badge for next season.............

Aye, in the words of Master and Commander Cap'n Pugwash : " They're 'avin a titanic disaster of a season me o' flower".

i just like the simplicity of ours as displayed as my avatar, i cant say that i can really recall the old one, but i my opinion i think that most teams that have changed logos recently has been a step backwards

take qpr for instance, they had that fantastic entwined lettering toi be replaced by a bland shield with queens park rangers in a dull font on each stripe

leeds are another, they have changed loads of times, from the classic smiley face to peacock, both of which were good, to white rose with football inside and now a horrible shield design

swindon are another

i honestly think that my avatar is fantastic, instantly recognisable, and pre dates motorola too, and the star trek badge too i guess??

as a 3rd generation supporter of 24 years i would consider myself someone who could have an opinion by now,to be honest i have seen the motorola emblem the whole time i have supported tufc but i have seen the old emblems in photos and i must say the old style on a new kit would spice things up loads.

I don't have any issues with the logo as it is, we shouldn't change just for the sake of it or because other clubs are.
It would just be an extra expense at this time.
