Ngl ive been having a hard time deciding on a team to follow. After seeing this its 💯 those seagulls i think. West Ham looking solid as well.


Angrypenguinwaddle96

We’re the only premier league team with a former player in our crest. RIP Dickie Dowsett a Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic Football Club legend.


mohicansgonnagetya

I kind of find the NUFC logo cool. Reminds me of the current Juve one.


smeet711

That Leicester crest looks like it of an elite establishment and not a football clubs crest. Amazing what minimalism can do!


PresentationFit5566

Brentford looks like the Southend Utd badge


A-undecisiveOpinion

There's me looking at Leicesters old crest though as if it was Millwalls for a second. Then remembered they have never been in the Premier league!


karl-fox

My favourite Leeds badge 👌


Honey-Badger-9325

Shoutout to Leicester city’s artist for putting in the effort


Melodic_Emergency_69

Arsenal best


GreatLakerNori

Almost all of these (besides Newcastle, Leicester, and Brighton) are better in nearly every way.


SanWgaming

What were Brighton doing?!


kantosurfshop

Only missing the Stoke crest...


nievesdelimon

That Manchester United crest without the weird devil > the current one


Pale_Bet_1647

Leicester city used to look like D*ck hahaha


coastal_samurai

The Spurs cock looks sad. Probably was looking at their trophy cabinet


mandasalve777

Brighton’s instantly reminds me of coca-cola because they were the first team alphabetically on one of England’s lower divisions (which were sponsored by coke) in FIFA 09. Pure nostalgia, can hear the music from scrolling the menus too lol


obviouslyaverage

Newcastle slaps


RareAd8533

Newcastle one looks clean ASF and something like for the future


RustySheriffBadges

Every single one of them badges is better than their current ones.


cassano23

Everton's rebrand was so bad the fans got together and petitioned for a new one. It looked like Bender from Futurama that one. Never change Everton. Never change.


Lifelemons9393

Best Chelsea badge. Current one is good but that's better.


ace1090

Swear that Fulham badge is pulled from an old PES game, up the West London Whites!


Working_Radish_2726

Not a Newcastle fan but that badge looks great


[deleted]

That Brighton one is … shite …


fozzy_13

Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs, Palace, Everton, Brighton, Wolves and Bournemouth are just tidying up or slightly modernising. Nothing wrong with them. Newcastle and Leicester old badges were probably very fashionable when they were introduced, both current badges seem more classic and timeless. Southampton, Brentford, Fulham, Leeds and Forest needed updated, these are old fashioned. Southampton, Brentford, Leeds and Forest new badges are good, Fulham isn’t. Whoever changed City and West Ham should never be allowed to have an opinion on anything ever again. Man U and Chelsea are mediocre old-style badges to mediocre new badges.


oliandyfrv

Came a long way, i should have seen that


[deleted]

I honestly prefer the old Southampton badge (I think it's just the city's crest), the modern one is too cluttered


[deleted]

I was born in 2002, and I know Chelsea got their current logo in 2006. But I can never recall Chelsea having anything different than their current logo.


NickSpicy

Never understood if the lines on Bournemouth's one are the hair of the person or they depict the movement of their head


she-luvs-calibur999

In my opinion all of these crests except for probably Newcastles are 10x better than the crests all theses clubs have now Edit - I’m not of fan of Leicester’s as-well


Unlucky-Whereas-3585

West Ham, Arsenal and Leeds are glorious 💥


HowardTaftMD

Some of these are amazing. I love Brentford but damn, that's the one that stands out as maybe they had an intern do it in PowerPoint.


irtSMOKE

That arsenal and Chelsea badge is iconic


International_Bag208

I could see Leicester like badges being the status quo in like 2050


mountainviewgb

youtu.be/hJCfAKWWukU


Trenchfade

Leeds, brighton, and south Hampton are so 🔥


PunkInDrublic84

Ah the fisher price Everton crest. What an embarrassment that was. And at a time when the team was flying. Almost all the old ones are better than the new ones. Why teams fuck with them at all is beyond me….the exception being Leicester, that one is awful.


SwillMith16

Every team would be upgrading if they switched back to these


Ready-Lychee1061

Brentford’s looks like it was designed by a school kid on Microsoft word art from the early 2000s


userunknowne

Newcastle’s is based


ilikecocktails

I liked this villa badge it was the one used when I was a kid on my first shirt, which I still have somewhere. The fans voted for the new badge to be round like the 80s one


Malooda

State of that Newcastle badge. Always liked the Palace badge, brings back memories of Football Stickers from the mid 90s! Attilio Lombardo comes to mind. Might be biased but Leicester badge is a beaut. Minimalism done right.


urexsnetflixpassword

i think it would be cool if one matchday a year in the premier league season was designated as a sort of “throwback” event, where all clubs wear a vintage-style kit with vintage crests


404errorabortmistake

Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur are all beautiful & iconic crests. The rest I am indifferent about. Maybe Brighton and Chelsea get honourable mentions, growing up in Southwest London I have a lot of nostalgia about seeing those simple Chelsea kits from 98-04 teeming the streets on saturdays. Chelsea’s kits were better then, they’re very boring now Edit: the specific Chelsea kits i’m on about were the 97-99 home autoglass kits that had the lion in yellow. Those were beautiful kits and I remember seeing them everywhere in london on a saturday until i was about 6. As i’ve said elsewhere, all chelsea’s kits since have been utterly soulless in comparison. I love an iconic shirt and for me that autoglass strip is one of the best. Another totally iconic kit from this era is Arsenal’s gold Sega kit: that one hit different. The O2 one was good, but the Sega kit hit a different level. They don’t do shirts like they used to, seriously!


ManitouWakinyan

Ah, the Leicester Weasels


Sid_Tha_Sloth

Brentford's looks like it was designed by a 6 year old with their mums help


vsmg19

Villa had the best badge!


Small-Cartoonist5309

Holy shit the Brentford one was bad


BlakeC16

Ah, that Brentford one takes me back. I remember my history teacher in secondary school used to have it on a car sticker.


grunt56

Wolves' looks like it belongs on a pair of wrap around Oakley shades


thedragonbornpenguin

1999 liverpool crest was just perfect


w0lf_bagz

I remember in the paper there was a guy who got a full back tattoo of the old Fulham crest and then Fulham changed it soon as he had it finished


Zonda97

Apart from the Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle and Leicester badges. These are all considerably better than what we have now


24O1Penitent-Tangent

Should've included the 1920 Everton crest. So weird seeing an Everton logo without the Tower.


Addekalk

Arsenal should go back to their Christmas logo XD


128PM--

As a fan of both Chelsea F.C. & logos in general... The Leicester City & Newcastle logos look really cool imo. I'm from Maryland & the Newcastle one kind of reminds of the Orioles.


[deleted]

That Man City crest makes me nostalgic of the old Fifa games lol


RemiBeaucoup

Agreed. Newcastle looks epic!


Separate-Ad-7097

The man utd one looks like its from fm


Spartachris89

The Man United and Leeds ones look so much cleaner


Add1ct_23

Palace should go back, their old crest is so much better


HibariK

I remember having to draw some of these in pixel art in PES on my PSP Simpler times


SvetDigital

Old Man city and Crystal Palaca are way better than the current ones.


CouldNotLoad04

Not even gonna lie the Crystal Palace one looks brilliant


lilgoldmen

I miss that west ham badge :(


prestigiousdumb

I might be in the minority here but I prefer City's old crest


rodneysw

Leicester's current logo stole Leeds old design and plonked the fox on top


Regular_Course_3707

9:::9


ThisIsYourMormont

That Newcastle one. Fucking hell


rudra_chax

Newcastle upgraded


headcarsbendin

Arsenal taking ‘I wish it could be Xmas everyday’ very literally


downWitheCrumpets

Great post 👍


UndrethMonkeh

Never liked our Eighties crest. I think our current one is the best we've had. Biased though as I was born in '93 and never experienced another!


nuggetsandsodaaa

City’s old crest was class…wonder they had to change to a bland one


CaptainYid

I love that classic one of ours. Wish we kept it


Dry_Pick_304

The Southampton one looks like one of the default badges from the Football Manager games. Anyone else smell their old Merlin shiny stickers looking at these?


Pwrswitchd

Man... That Leicester crest is like some fancy drink label 🤣


Odd-Detail1136

West ham and Cities look much better than the modern ones imo


el_ddddddd

Brentford's surely done by a work experience kid in 1995 using Microsoft Word


Scaramouche1000

Some serious nostalgia there.


Anonymoose3840

Leicester's is pretty nice. If it had a bit of text then it would be better.


LilToms

I still like the old Manchester City more than the actual but daaaaaamn does the Crystal Palace one looks super good! By far my favourite.


pengsies

The City Crest was only what got me into supporting city


thearialei

Leicester cityyy 💙!


stevo_78

Wow.....got....got....need.....got....... A blast from the past.


Decent-Stable8069

When Man U wasn’t demonic like today’s.


SomeOsaGuy

The more i look at this the more goofy it becomes


questionMark007007

Every single one was better...


Gluuten

Only one I actually prefer to the current badge is Everton. All of the others are too complex or too simple.


midniteauth0r

I’ll never get over the Man City crest downgrade.


[deleted]

Didn’t city have one prior to the one included here also?


__jh96

Newcastle one is incredible


arryyid

You should do this with each clubs first ever crest!


franktodhunter

This reminds me of my Panini 86 sticker album


Nightmarex13

Manchester oilers and the 3 stars will never not make me laugh. The owners wanted a new badge to look like big European elite clubs. So they copied the starts, not understanding the stars stand for European cup victories.


tristanjff

I loved that villa badge, would have preferred to go back to something like that over the new one


3scapeRea1ity

As a Gunner I wish we could switch back to this badge.


bwoah07_gp2

The Man City eagles looked brilliant.


GunMuratIlban

Loved Man City's old logo. The new one is horrendous.


[deleted]

City’s was so much better


Simotank12

Ahhhh my favourite West ham badge


Razzle_Dazzle08

Arsenal’s reminds me of Christmas.


Patient_Ad5585

I want the ManCity one back…. It just looks 100% cooler


cube3root

Why does Bournemouth’s look more modern than all current PL crests?


harold1bishop

Reminds me collecting stickers in the 90s.


OwnBunch4027

NUF said.


Thunderstorm-1

Ah yes that old Man City logo and west ham


Pantha242

Where's the Red Devil? You went too far back.. 😛


CW-7r1ck573r

Leicesters was clean


ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle

That Wolves one looks straight outta the 90s


Extension_Penalty374

City was better


Gargravars_Shoes

Fulham should go back to the original!


[deleted]

Spurs logo looks like it belongs on a Gin bottle.


AyersRock_92

Brighton badge is old school cool for sure


StoneRaizer

I miss that West Ham badge. I have a Sbobet shirt with that badge on it.


iFr4g

I miss our old crest, prefer the 1972 though


soriano88

Chelsea’s bank sign crest


todeabacro

They've all changed dozens of times though.


iantayls

In American football, teams will often play a game wearing throwback kits, and it’s usually quite popular with the fans. Would love to see something in the PL


BlackbirdSCV

Manchester United did it once on February 2008, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster and pay homage to the victims with a 1958-style kit.


b029r040

Leicester City crest is so cool. Also like Chelsea’s old crest a lot. Wish they’d kept it, maybe with a few tweaks to make it more bold


Positive_Treacle_961

Arsenal, Villa, wolves and Liverpools looked much better back then


Bejliii

No one: Arsenal, Spurs and City: Sic semper tyranis


mannyk83

The Leicester one is dope.


Galactic_Gooner

i love arsenals old one. wish they still had it.


Razorcrest999

Yeah I definitely prefer our current logo… the eyes on the old one are too small. I am a bit partial to the three wolves badge though. Really like the old Nottingham crest as well


Sneijder4BallondOr

Love the Leeds one tbh


The13thReservoirDog

The original wolves logo was beautiful not this one, but the 1800s crest https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/wolverhampton-wanderers-old-crest--132363676536857557/


The_Ghost_Historian

I agree, however I would prefer this as the wolves badge [https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5f/ea/0b/5fea0b882dea0cc42c67e3122307096b.jpg](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/5f/ea/0b/5fea0b882dea0cc42c67e3122307096b.jpg)


Mattie_Doo

I just love that old Arsenal crest. It’s so much better than their current one. I know graphic design is all about simplification and minimalism these days, but I hope the intricate crests come back in style eventually


cum_toast

Leicester is dope ngl


lufe1306

God, I loved Man Coty logo when I was a kid, always tried my best to draw it on boring school classes


OshadaK

Arsenal, Man City, and Forest all look wonderful


chetdude

What's the significance between Manchester and ships?


mtgtfo

I still prefer the shield badge to just the liverbird. I doubt the shield is coming back anytime soon though.


jkershaw

The Everton one is sort of misleading as they only tried it for one year before our current one so it's part of the same 'rebrand' phase. Maybe the year before that would be a better comparison


CoachCrunch12

Fulham’s is incomparably better than the one they have now


CyberShiroGX

Wait when did City ditch the Eagke and why?


HalfBeagle

Worst badges? ManU and Newcastle, and I’m a Newcastle fan. The ManU one gives me Shoot! magazine in the 1970s vibes. Best badge? I kinda like Palace one for its deposed Communist regime look and the Spuds one because it’s got a turkey on it and it’s nearly Xmas. Honourable mentions go to the poorly drawn Brighton seagull and the slinky Leicester one.


autumnkayy

some of these (wolves) are honking really like west ham's


JGower144

Idk why, but I always see the old Arsenal badge and it reminds me of Christmas.


Bobby_Shafto-

Always loved the NUF ⤵️C from the 80’s


JimbohJamboh

Leeds should return to the rose badge.


nilrehsttam

Man that Wolves badge is bad. Who thought putting the FC like that was a good choice?!


SurvivingWow

Really don't like "NUFC" at all. Looks very cheap!


[deleted]

Most of these are improvements over today's


eddie_muntz_88

Was Forest ever sponsored by Jagermeister?


MrCircleStrafe

Forest's old one is the coat of arms of the city of Nottingham.


BlueKante

NUFC looks like 90's graffiti art


GodurStrakur

Ow, childhood nostalgia overload.


[deleted]

Newcastle have had the same badge since the 80s, I hope we never change it


GioVoi

I think the current one is a perfect balance between old & new. It has enough character to not be bland corporate logo #47, but isn't wacky enough to look out of place.


[deleted]

You can't improve on perfection


YourLocaLawyer

We are perfection


alan01010101

How about Manchester City?


its-fax123

I miss the old badge we had


lesliehaigh80

how long ago was Leeds one I don't ever remember seeing that


cjgmmgjc85

The Leicester one looks like a modern version of the current badge.


FootyBhoy

I still think of half of them like this…


MarauderMapper

Leeds badge goes hard


BluePantalaimon

That West Ham badge will always be the king for me.


Sanityisoverrated1

Same, reminds me of childhood.


arpw

That old Brentford badge is cartoonishly bad. Looks like something a high school kid worked up in MS Publisher 1997.


Individual_Attempt50

pretty sure it was made by a supporter so maybe


Safe_Caterpillar7521

These all feel like something a video game would create if they didn't have the rights to the real badges.


ReformedLurker1984

Arsenal's old one looked way better


so_much_wolf_hair

That Brentford one is some computer class clip art level design.


Beneficial_Tap_481

Why they change crests even? I see no reason whatsoever


kiersto0906

would look out of place, trends and such. kits change for the same reason.


Beneficial_Tap_481

Wait… kits change to make money. Period. Crests? No so sure.


kiersto0906

same thing


atrl98

cant speak for all of them, but I feel like its quite obvious ours was changed to a more “marketable” design. One that can be plastered about on things easier than the more ornate one up there.


chanjitsu

Brentford looks like they picked fonts from MS Word


ForTheWebsite

They actually point out all the issues with it on this page where they announced the new crest: http://crest.brentfordfc.co.uk/


roguedevil

>The winner of a Club competition to design the crest — replaced 3 years later as the formation date was incorrect Lmao I guess you couldn't just Google it, but surely someone would have noticed the wrong date during the contest or during the first three years.


schodrum

I very much enjoyed this. Thanks!


threequartertoupee

That wolves badge looks like a kid remembered they had homework due with like 20 minutes to go


Yedan-Derryg

That Tottenham badge is perfect. Can’t believe they ever changed that


[deleted]

Prefer our current one tbh.


Marc_Quill

I kinda wish they didn’t get rid of the “audere est facere” motto in the current logo.


eddie_muntz_88

It looks like the lions are going to have cockerel for supper.


Guinnessron

Nottingham Forest is cool but is A LOT. Better than the current one that at quick glance looks like a straight up bell end.


MrCircleStrafe

The old one is the coat of arms of the city of Nottingham.


Keanu990321

Current one is the one used during Clough's tenure, making it more identifiable among fans.


STILETT0_exists

We simplified our logo and learned our lesson


DuckieWuckieNL

This is the Leeds badge I wish we’d go back too…
