New Badge Incoming???
For all the hype leading up to it, I find it a surprisingly amateurish design, though maybe this is a deliberate nod back to the Bob Tomlin era!
I never knew why the shield that we had about three years ago had such a short shelf life. That one was obviously designed by a graphic artist that knew their stuff and I thought it was the best in the league at the time.
Oh and what's happened to the River Thames on the new design? It's a strange collection of disconnected squiggles.

Perhaps the badge was designed with the thought that 'Borough' would be dropped from the name then someone had a rethink.

More the case that the name change to ‘Hampton & Richmond FC’ was not put through to the relevant associations in time for the 23/24 season, so was not approved.EastTerracer wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2023 1:32 pm Perhaps the badge was designed with the thought that 'Borough' would be dropped from the name then someone had a rethink.
