I think these are okay but unfortunately it's irrelevant how nice the kit is when the absolutely horrific cres(t) that Hoyle lumped us with will be stuck on the front of it. I did not know it was dumped on us by Hoyle, I thought it had been roughly the same for years, i am not one for pageantry , and Coates of arms, what would you like to see on the shirts?, back to the H.T.F.C lettering?, I have never been keen on anything to do with the terriers. up the town for me. It has stylistically roughly remained the same but Hoyle felt the need to change the emblem as he was going and Hodgkinson was coming in the other way. I understand that things can't (and nor should they) remain in the past but attempts to 'modernise' the cres(t) in '08, '09 and '19 have just completely backfired. I started supporting roughly in '08 and I've always thought the shields on which the crests lie look horrendous as well as the over-produced 'graphic design' look of them both. I understand that the '08 & '09 iterations may be a victims of their time but there's no excuse for the '19 version. The swooping colour gradients, which I presume are meant to give it depth just look so crap and, much like the majority of things at Huddersfield Town at the moment, seem to be done on the cheap. I'm 21 and I seriously think I have mates who could knock something up of similar quality in their bedrooms and I bet for a damn sight cheaper than what the club paid as well. And don't even get me started on that fucking new dog either.

Then the whole thing is just so overly busy and incongruous. And the graphic with the progression of the badge that the club posted is completely wrong as well

Yes. Are you suggesting we wouldn’t clash with a blue and white hooped kit ?! I thought you said they all played in green and white hoops. Apologies if I misread it. No need to apologise 🤷♂️😁 I think its probably my fault as I referenced the opening bit of the original post about 'being unique' but then just answered the 'wouldn't need an away strip unless...' bit of the statement!

And the graphic with the progression of the badge that the club posted is completely wrong as well I know it would make it busier again, but I think we should get our 'Football Club' back. It was taken away from us in 2008, probably justified because the text was unreadable with the shrank and stuck inside a rather pointless shield. Drop the shield, grow the , put "A.F.C" back on the badge, give us back the football club on the shirt. Done.

Should have stuck with that IMO.

He might have signed it off but unless Im wrong I think I know the bloke who designed that and it wasn't him.

I hated it when they brought it out on the sly and I don't think it's improved with age.

It was used on other stuff though like fixture lists, team posters,even Pannini used it for their stickers.

Simply pointing out that the original focus of the thread was about shirt badges - and only three of those designs as shown there featured.

Only three of those exact designs actually ever appeared on a shirt: 1970, 2000 and 2009. The dates are all completely out of step as well aren't they? The '1970' badge was introduced in 1979 then reintroduced in 2002. The 2009 badge (without the stupid grey gradient) appeared on shirts in the 90s. Then looking at the '1970' badge, there appears to have been a number of significant revisions done over time to it- Castle Hill, the roses, the helmet. I wonder when those changes actually happened? I have a few town shirts and they've almost all got slightly different badges

I had it as mirrored wall plaque as a kid Yeah it appeared on numerous stuff. I had a promotional milk bottle with it on, empty of course, it also appeared on programmes too. It was widely used but never was the official badge, certainly never appeared on shirts.

That's what I always associate it with.

And the dog, well it was used in an exhibition by Bands FC at the Piece Hall a few years ago. Basically they link football clubs and badges to bands…and that badge was used for Town and they were linked to? You guessed it, Snoop Dogg. The dog looks like it’s been on the dope as it is. bandsfc.com/crests-p-t/

Think the Hibs, QPR (Pete Doherty version) and Oxford United ones stand out. And I know a lad with a Jarvis owl tattoo.
