The lion, 86 and 1876, the Transporter Bridge, a circle and a shield...mmm... How did we end up with our current overdesigned and underwhelming logo when this beauty was in contention? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

How did we end up with our current overdesigned and underwhelming logo when this beauty was in contention? Nobody really knows but there were a few rumours at the time that it came from a source close to Gibbo which is why it went through "unopposed" or from a Student at a local College (or maybe a mixture of the two). To my knowledge the original source never really came to light and considering the fans opinions at the time and ever since it's not a surprise it was kept quiet. Link to post Share on other sites
Humpty 3,246 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It was done by a bloke that worked at the club. He was in some kind of junior marketing/commerce position. I remember him referencing it on twitter at the time and then receiving a lot of stick as it was so bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I always thought this redesign was nice (Perhaps a bit too much blue, especially the Lion.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

HolgateBoy 96 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 How many weeks after the home shirt does the away shirt usually come out? Can anyone remember back to last pre-season for a rough idea? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not accusing you of intentionally trying to offend anyone, just to be more careful about your choice of language. I think the point CT was trying to make is that not all "world views" are in fact global. The majority of the time, some people find certain things offensive, while others don't. Even when it comes to words relating to themselves. Also, as CT said, the intent behind the use of a word can carry as much meaning as the word itself (though that can be less obvious on an internet forum). In a nutshell, just because the prevailing or politically correct view is to find something offensive, not everyone will. Assuming everyone is aware of, or agrees with said view can cause as much argument as the topic itself...as we occasionally see here. Anyway, thats just my 2 cents.

I'll be honest, I don't really care if you are offended or not - it's still considered a slur, so I'm not going to allow it, it's that simple. Link to post Share on other sites

Get rid of the shield and you've basically got the 1986 badge. For a new design, I'd keep the shield, have "MIDDLESBROUGH FC" in a bar across the top and "1876" where the 86 is. I'd also change the blue bits to red. Link to post Share on other sites
