new club crest choice process.
Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 2:00 pmFirst sorry for the long topic heading but I cant stand it when topics titles are basically nothing to do with the topic and seem to be more aimed at getting hits!!
I read on the visitors website that along with the stadium name the new club crest would also be unveiled on Tuesday. Although I'm, like many others, very excited about this I also feel a little apprehensive and disappointed for a couple of reason.
Apprehensive because, in theory, this crest should be around for the rest of my life and i want it to truly reflect the football club and should be something we are all proud off. But it might not be to my or other fans taste! which in some respects leads to my disappointment...
Why did the club not offer some kind of fans votes on a number of designs that would have been put forward to them? surely this would have been a win win situation for the club, as we all know not everyone will like it but if they know the majority of the fans do then its something that i could deal with should my choice for example not been chosen. maybe there could have been a voting panel, (which there may have been anyway) where the fans were given 1 vote and members of the board votes each and these could have been counted. This way it would look like the club were involving us in the design process.
I mean this could have help taken the burden of the fact that we wont have a say on the stadium name as we all know that a sponsors name is going to be heavy involved. As much as none us really want that most of us can see the financial benefit to this. I personally see this as an opportunity missed and would like to know what others think!
