Don’t understand this. The first official club badge we ever had was established in 1973 and remained until 2010. The current one has been in use since 2010.

I guess what has appeared on our home shirt hasn’t always reflected that fact and that’s what’s being used here.

I’d stick with our current badge.

[Bin Ont Turf]

The 1979 one in the picture, all day long. Absolutely magnificent.

Till the cows come home.

[California Colner]

I would like to see the 1983 badge
Keep it simple

I’d stick with our current badge.

Those images went up after I’d started posting but they aren’t club badges, just lettering and adaptations we’ve had on shirts.

The 1973 badge was created so we would have our own trademarked badge that we could use having previously used the old County Borough badge. It remained until 2010 but we used that old County Borough badge in 2009/10 for the 50th anniversary shirts. It coincided with us being in the Premier League and so the club felt it the right thing to do was to go with a similar adapted badge having had the global exposure for a year.

Some prefer one, some prefer the other.

[Buxtonclaret]

Remember my Mum stitching that '69 BFC onto a Claret & Blue shirt I'd got hold of in 1970.

[tim_noone]

I think The Strip Burnley played in Last night was the Best I've Ever seen....how long as that been around. Very Nice.

[thelaughingclaret]

Personally I still prefer the old badge. The reason are it is the one I grew up with. The badge I fell in love with when I fell in love with the club. Just nostalgia really. I get used to the new one every season but I don’t think I will ever get that same feeling when looking at it as I get when I look at the old badge. The old badge defines ‘Burnley’ to me. For them who were around in the early sixties they will probably feel the same about that badge/shirt emblem/whatever is the political correct way to call whatever was on our shirt before 1973, and thus will probably like the new badge.

I'd be in favour of going back to the 1979 badge, or a new badge. The one currently used is a mess. It isn't distinctive and is too cluttered. It looks old and not in a good way at all.

A good question maybe is to ask which components of either badge do supporters think are most important to retain. What about both badges is most "Burnley"?

My thoughts -

1) Cotton making thingy (name escapes, apologies)
2) Bees
3) Hand
4) Red rose(s)
5) Zig zaggy bricks

For example, the cotton making thingy is one aspect which could be made more of. In a landscape of lions, that image is unique to the Burnley badge. It could be similar to the Liver bird on Liverpool shirts or the cockerel on Spurs' shirts.

Overall, people should see it and think - that's Burnley. I don't think the current badge does that at all. It's a horrible design.

And lose the weird bird. What is it? Does anyone know? What's on it's foot? Why?

1. Is it a shuttle?

I’d go for a new, modern badge.

[RammyClaret61]

I’d prefer the 79 one. I don’t mind the current one other than the colours used. Much prefer the monochrome ones.

Yes, shuttle! That's the one I think. And yes, I think it's time for a new badge.

These aren’t right

The gold badge for 125 years was 2007 not 2010

[Burnley1989]

Can’t make my mind up between 1979 and 1987, both great badges in different ways yet do similar

Really can’t choose

[Culmclaret]

Either the 69/70 to 74/5 or 75/6-78/9.

Thought this was interesting when I saw it at the time.

Our crest simplified and modernised by this person -
Shadab Wajih is an award-winning art director, graphic designer and an illustrator based in Miami, US. Besides his design and advertising work he also prides himself in his FIFA managerial skills. You can see more of his work, contact or complain to him on his Instagram: @snikt13




Personally I think it this would be a good evolution because this is the crest that most fans will know and associate us with from our time and exposure in the Premier League.
There’s definitely room to simplify and embolden key elements elements.
And I don’t think we’d have the same uproar in loosing the stork etc as Everton fans did when they lost their Latin moto as part of their own rebrand (at the link below for anyone interested).

Really don't like that

[Suratclaret]

How about some reference to the new American owners...interestingly the state flag of Utah includes a bee hive...

Tin hat and sandbags at the ready.

On a more serious note as long as the badge continues to be dominated by some hideous logo ( I know this brings in money), I'm not sure whether tinkering with the design of the badge really matters.

I like that. Very smart.

The current badge looks a bit childlike to me. The yellow plays too much of a part in that it’s too bright, and the blue, to me, is too light. I actually don’t like the current blue (nearly white) we’re persisting with on the shirts either. I much prefer the 1960’s-early 1990’s blue which is slightly deeper.

[Redbeard]

Sorry, but that's hideous.

The 1979/87 one however is great.

[RMutt]

Remember my Mum stitching that '69 BFC onto a Claret & Blue shirt I'd got hold of in 1970.

Same here. It was the letters on a claret square. I think I might still have it.

[RMutt]

PS The one we have now or the 59/60 anniversary one for me.

[Bosscat]

I like all the badges ... I follow a team not a badge ... but if I have to choose its the current one

[Zlatan]

combine old with new perhaps...?

I'm not saying I like this, or that my photoshop skills are any good (someone could de much better I'm sure)

...and the scroll with "Burnley Football Club" would need sorting - perhaps the latin phrase we used to have could go on the external scroll...?

Or just keep what we have, I like it

2 all day long, as said further up i just dont get the same feeling anymore when i look at the current badge as i do with the badge in number 2.

That looks to be the worst of all worlds! Not nice at all!

[claretgimmer]

If it`s not broken don`t fix it, current one for me.

[gandhisflipflop]

It wasn't broken in 2010.

[wilks_bfc]

This is always going to cause division between supporters and it’ll be largely down to which badge you grew up with.

I started watching in 1988 so that’s the badge I grew up with.
As been said, if we hadn’t got promoted in 2009 which coincided with the 50th celebration kit using 1960 badge, we would have reverted back. As it was, and understandably, the club decided to stick with that as it had the “global recognition”

Let’s be honest - we’ve had a lot more success with this current one (in whichever guise) as the previous version

[nyclaret]

It's interesting to see everyone else's different opinions. I'm also in favour of the 1987 badge because that's the badge I associate Burnley with. However, I wouldn't be against a new, modern club crest. I've never understood the weird shading of the current one. It doesn't really look like a football crest either. The South Americans know how to design a football crest!

[claretfern]

Current badge without doubt.

[HahaYeah]

It's no good chopping and changing so I think the club did the right thing in keeping this badge after getting us in the Prem.

The 'reimagined' one looks like a 'stop! Beware of bees and angry bears!' Sign.

Think the stork is to represent a prominent family called Starkie from Padiham IIRC.

Don't know any South American badges exept the Newell's Old Boys one which is good.

[PremierLeagueClass]

The old badge all day long, I’ve never spoken to anyone outside the club who disagrees. The old badge was one of the best around. The current badge is not good at all and needs modernising. Hopefully this is something the new chairman and his crew will address.

The 1973 badge for me. The design was by a local competition winner, the lions of Lancaster, the cotton shuttle, the bee of Lancashire industry and the red roses just part of the town significance, I ‘ve forgotten some other bits but THAT will always be our club badge for me, the new one I still think of as the ‘shirt badge’ rather than the club badge.

[HahaYeah]

Those South American badges are mostly very modern looking. Could see the Leeds badges sitting amongst them,especially that smiley looking thing they had in the 70's.

If we had a new one a bee design would look good and make sense and we could have a black and amber away kit (again).

[box_of_frogs]

1979 all day long. Come on Alan! Do the right thing!!

I grew up with the two lions crest, but do prefer the current one. I’ve nothing against the previous one other than I think it’s busy (in contrast to modern, marketing focussed designs) and is quite similar in style to other old crest designs.

Although actually old, the current crest is a little more minimal and therefore perhaps modern looking, but I don’t think it’s instantly recognisable as being Burnley.

I’d like a modern design, perhaps with a nod to tradition that easily identifiable (certainly not like the one posted further up with the odd shaped lions head).
