      Who cares what other people think about the Transporter Bridge? I want our badge to represent us, not remind people of us. If it were the other way around, we'd weave Jeff Stelling's rant into the badge and he's not even a Boro fan. 😄 The Transporter Bridge is a talismanic piece of construction of our own making that sits perfectly within the region of the Riverside and the immediate surrounding area. Whether it remains functional or not is neither here nor there, for me. I see it pretty much every day when I go to the office. When I was away as a student or working in London, coming back home by train, the Transporter was one of the last significant things you see pulling into the station and along with the Newport Bridge, it used to help settle me back into remembering my home town, firing off memories of home that remind you that this is where you belong. Not only that but in terms of the badge and the example shown, I think it looks really nice. The colour scheme, the architecture, it sits really nice in the design in blue, as a fitting contrast to the hard reds and whites, the waves representing the Tees which it stands across. I personally think it looks really smart.

      Was just about to post the same thing. I didn't finish the second series of AWP but I remember that was the key storyline - they were selling the Transporter Bridge overseas - America IIRC.

      I just assumed it was the current one, looks near enough.

      I don't even think people have realised the Lion is that different, tbh, it's the rest of the badge people are focusing on as it's the biggest departure from what we have. It's definitely a lot more minimal but the shape and facing is much the same. It's like it's just had a trim for the first time in 50 years. I'm sure there's a way of working the proper Lion into that kind of badge anyway.
