Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Now that we are looking to the future with Doug and co on the board can we go all retro and bring back the proper club id and badge that was consigned to death in the 90's?

I dont like the new one:nono: :nono:

I wear the old badge everywhere I go and it has become famous in OZ, NZ, Europe and the USA :cool:

Please make it our badge again :wave:

:wave: :wave:

Here, Here,

Bring back the Castle
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Can see you where you two are coming from but can we really afford the expense of NEW everything again? Cups, mousemats etc etc etc

Personally I think both badges (new and old) are great but it would be stupid to revert back when it will cost thousands of quid we haven't got

If you phase it in over time it can actually cost very little and be a great revenue earner as everyone will (hopefully) buy some new gear :cool:

BTW I hear that you met a friend of mine recently - an Irish Yank living down under now....?! small world!!! :blush

:wave: :wave:

Nah, I quite like the new one.

I prefer the current one, it harks back to the badge on the 1940s Toffs shirts.
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

I prefer the old castle thingy myself
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

The Badge

Current one for me, the detail it has on it, is more to do with our club, than that drab old castle.
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

i like the old one it was classic
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

They best keep the new one as my missus has it tattoed on her thigh :nono:
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Prophet and WarrenBee lol

I think they should keep the new one :bound:
BUT we could make money by changing back I suppose, imagine all the stuff we could sell again with a new crest on, and of course the as yet untapped Far Eastern market would benefit the club through sales. :confused:

The silence from the club is Deafening :rolleyes: ;)

I like the new badge in many ways, especially as it has bees on it but then again there are aspects of the old that I like too.

:idea: How about a new badge combining the best of the 2?

I got an 'A' @ GSCE/A'Level and have a Foundation Course in Art qualification and @ the age of 17 won a competition to design the Brenford Regeneration Project's logo.

So I'd be willing to design one free of charge.:D
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Well I got 3% in my first year Art exam and 5% in my second (honestly!)
So Im a cheaper alternative than Debee I think :confused: ;)
Can we incoporate a BsC into the badge please Mr Brentford :bound:
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

I like the new one better.
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

I don't even remember the old one. Could somebody post it up here?
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

ooops sorry!

Nice clock Davo :)

BTW - Did you know that Dan Tana designed the castle?

So Debbee if a director can do one I'm sure you can! :D

Bring back the Castle !!!!!!!!

Ah yes had that on a 'rugby shirt' years ago.....nah prefer the one we've got now...looks older!

Old skool badge for me!

Why not put it to a vote? Ballot forms to be sent out with the next Bees Utd newsletter - thus only BU members get to vote. You never know, some people might feel so strongly about it they'll actually JOIN BU to have a chance to have their say.

I don't think you could limit a poll that affects all supporters to just Bees United members.
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Lets stick up a poll on here first gewt a taste of peoples opinions

Probably slightly unfair I agree but the idea was that it might get a few more people to join BU.

I remember this being debated on here about a year ago and asked a question which nobody seemed to know the answer to, so here goes again...

Why was there a castle on the old badge? I have never heard of there ever being a castle in Brentford and I have never found any reference to one in local history books.

Seems a bit odd then to have one on a badge which is supoposed to reflect the local community. How about a design incorporating the importance of being a river/canalside location in the town's history?
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

The design come from Dan Tana's head - believe me! :)

i think its supposed to show the 'fortress' griffin park image that we are a bunch of hard B@r Studs
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

I like the old castle thingy, but if/when we move to Lionel Rd it would be nice to have something on the badge to represent our history at GP, like maybe a Griffin :idea:

Unfortunately too much like the Welsh dragon for my liking :eek: :eek:

Forget the castle...at least the current one has some 'bees' on it.

:yes:

I like the new one for the fact that it has it has the Middlesex swords on it, a Bristolian has accused me of Brentford being in Essex (no joke).

That said, the bottom right hand 'Football Club' bit does look a bit tacky IMO.

Ditto,

How may of the kids today can draw the current badge.

The old badge was class in its simplicty.

I prefer the old castle badge, but I do agree it would be nice to have a badge that incorporates local history more. The current badge looks a bit too much though!
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

i wear the old one but have to say i like the current one as well..............so i'm quite literally sitting on the fence:)
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

anyone know if there is any difference between the middlesex swords and the essex swords (guess it's all Sex anyway!) I sure hope there is!
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Keep the new one but sell casual wear with the old one in the shop aswell.

I expect the club would be interested when the word free is mentioned but you have to consider the guy whose wife has the badge tattood on her thigh.Plus at the ripe old age of whatever my age is I am also considering my first ever tattoo & a Brentford badge is near the top of my list....Maybe you could design a transfer instead & then everyone would be happy!!

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

I don't like either of them! The old one looks dated and is more than a little boring. The current one looks like it should be the badge of the under 11's side.

I'd prefer a new badge with a Griffin, which, for those of you considering it would make a far better tattoo whether it's on the badge or not.
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Keep the new badge, have the old & new rings so can swing both ways.
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

The new badge looks ridiculous; the old one ever so swish.

Bring it back!! :sorted:

Current one's better as it has more relevant artwork.

What was the original 1889 (or whenever the Rowing Club put a badge on their Association Football jerseys) design?
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Stick the bloomin' Middlesex swords over the red and white stripes, and replace the ball with a bee.. or griffin.. and then register it. :idea:

Something like the old Norwich, Ipswich and WBA ones..
 

Can we bring the old Badge back please?

Yeah, maybe we should design a new one rather than go back to the previous one. :)

Funnilly enough the Hounslow borough crest which was formed through the merger between Chiswick and Brentford features griffins and sea axes.
It also features a series of blue and white lines (hoops) :eek: to represent the Thames at Brentford.

I believe a man called Andrew Hennings is to blame for the current badge.

Behindthebadge.co.uk also takes the piss out of the rubbish fourth quarter. Why not have a football then the turretic FOOTBALL CLUB!

Why not develop a new badge that is easier to recognise, I get called a mackem, a blade, a saint etc and people have to really squint to workout who it is.

We have enough decent iconic images to come up with something different: sea axes, bees red and white stripes, griffins, footballs, the Thames.

It pleases me to see teams with little touches on their collars, sleeves etc that are a nod to their history or nicknames. Forest and Hull have done it recently.

I personally would like a yellow and black away kit, playing on the Bees theme, but i guess they might have to have a hoop or two on and not many people would like that.

I was quite fond of the castle one, but it did look rather like it was the winner in a Blue Peter competition..

Here is said crest.

I like the idea of a red and white striped shield with a football, sea axes, bees etc on it like the west brom design.
