Why is it when you google image search Brighton badges, you end up getting Millwall, United and Villa pics when I was after the original badge of ours with the dolphin on it.

Sakes!, like.

Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. Crest & Club History - that's the only thing I've ever been able to find.

 

[house your seagull]

the club are funny about releasing the old crests, i wouldn't be surprised if they don't own the copyright at all.

i bet tim carder owns the copyright on the dolphin badge!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

I never liked the latest one

This was by far better:

This is my favourite too. The twin town crests would also be fine, as would just a seagull above the letters B.H.A.F.C.

How about this

:mendoza:


Nuff said






Sorry Mate!!

 

[The Large One]

Ooo, could we just plagiarise Liverpool's 1970's badge... just a plain seagull with BHAFC under it? That would be lovely.

Something like this, maybe...?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I'm not a fan, it looks too comic like.

It seems I'm not alone either!..

 

[Storer68]

The original and STILL the Best

The original and STILL the Best

Still like the one with "THE SEAGULLS" round the bottom ala the Admiral shirts. I think it combines the heritage element of the original, with more modern and clean lines.

 

[Ian Bairds Fist]

I know that a leading design agency have been in touch with the Club regarding a rebranding exercise with a new badge and image already designed which looks very good and fitting for the new stadium.

However, they are yet to hear back from the Club...

 

[sotonseagull]

The old badge was easily the best. the current logo is good but prefer the old one. Yes it was the start of a new era coming back to brighton and a statement with the shield however, the old badge remind me of good times as well. like the wembleys visits in 83 & 91, great achievements...(dispite the losses!)

 

[Gully]

Even better when the background was red:


My favourite shirt of all-time bar none

Likewise, shirt and badge.

I can see that there might be a rebranding of the badge in time for Falmer...does it really matter what it looks like, Biafran seagull or tubby seagull...it is what it stands for that really matters!

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

The original and STILL the Best

I have to agree the original and the best to date.

Anyone else notice the subtle differences in the lettering of B&HA and the seagull looking fatter and healthier in this one?

 

[Shoreham Beach Seagull]

Wouldn't mind sticking with the one we have now, only because it's the only badge i've known the club for, being one of the younger generation.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

How about this one?

 

[Superphil]

It's already peeling off!!!

They own the round ones but i can't find any evidence that they own the rights to the shield as a trade mark

[Goldstone Rapper]

That would be cool!
