We've had 12 badges so isnt a ridiculous suggestion.

Was a big refresh in 2011 though with the seagull now flying into the future.

Our badge is clean and one of the best around.

No need to change

I'm not sure I've seen that 1974 badge before - which must be what they wore at the very first game I ever went to, a 1-0 win over Palace at the tender age of two months old

Makes me wonder, was there ever any protest at changing from the Dolphin to the Seagull in 1977? Must have been a very sudden change and considering the recent uproar at Cardiff and Hull trying to change their colour or name, was there much discontent at the time?

Unpopular I’m sure but I loved the dual crests on the centenary shirt. Very traditional these days but juxtaposes nicely with the overall progressive attitude of the club. And let’s be honest, a seagull is a seagull.

No need to change the badge until we have a gold star or two to add to it...

Bournemouth is ugly and why is the bloke back flicking a header.

Can't agree on Saints badge , on of the best around that.

Blackburns is my favourite

I'm pleased that we've bucked the trend towards fussier badges, but I think it would be improved if all the text was removed - just a thinner white border to a white seagull on a blue circle. Clean and simple is best. The Revie era Leeds one with the owl was one of the greatest for that reason.

From the same late 60s-early 70s period, the Arsenal cannon and Chelsea's heraldic lion were both much better.than the present designs. But clubs often hadn't thought about copyrighting then, so had to come up with a unique design that they could monetarise.

Best at the moment IMHO are Liverpool and Spurs because they're more or less the same as in the 70s. Wolves is good too. No words required.

I'd just add some Latin, something like Similis fustibus Brighton

I think we need a best club badge competition in a knockout format. Who has the I.T skills to facilitate this?

Change it to something laughably naff designed on the cheap by a couple of not very talented design college students as a first year end of term project you mean?

A horrific badge. An ungodly badge. A badge for simpletons and idiots. And yet... there is something exquisite about it: just a head heading a football. A head that has hair, but whose hair is also some kind of blurred indicator of how fast it is moving to head this football, which, as you can see in the design, is completely stationary, floating in a fixed position in the air like a planetary object.

I love the angle the head is coming at, too, the most unnatural angle imaginable for a header. As though this was, in fact, a severed head that somebody has wound up and flung at you like a hammer throw, grabbing it by its clearly supernatural hair and just swinging it round and round and round and round in the vague direction of the floating orb of a football.

The Bournemouth badge is great, and I will lob a bloody, severed head with impeccably straightened hair at anyone who disagrees with me.

Looks like the badge for a not-very-good children's football team designed by one of the parents who is also the assistant manager, to be honest. The guy who pumps all the footballs up way too hard and took eighteen months to design the club website which contains only two pages: 'News' and 'Fixtures'. And the news page is completely empty. Can't even get the results or league table on there.

A halo, a tree AND a river? Take yourselves a bit seriously for Christ sake, even if nobody else does. Even if your bitter rivals are Paget Town Wanderers under-12s.



Believe it or not, Burnley's was designed on the Pro Evolution Soccer 3 badge creator by a small, lonely child who had just been force-fed several tabs of LSD.

DIAMONDS. NO. BEES. NO. A HAND. NO. THE CLARETS. SO SOME CLARET I GUESS. NO ACTUALLY I WANT YELLOW. AND BLUE. AND MORE YELLOW. EVEN MORE YELLOW. THE MOST INCOMPATIBLE SHADES OF YELLOW AND BLUE IMAGINABLE, TOGETHER. A STORK. A STORK WITH AN EGG FOR A FOOT. A LION WITH SUNGLASSES SHOUTING UNDER A BRIDGE THAT IS ALSO SOME STEPS. PERFECT. NAILED IT.

You just look at it and think: what does it all mean?



Wow, congrats to the Brighton & Hove Albion design team. You've put a completely expressionless seagull inside a circle. The bird looks exactly how Brighton football club makes everybody who isn't a Brighton fan feel. Do better.

I don't think it ever appeared on a shirt, just the programme cover. And the Seagulls identity was the club reacting to what the fans were singing. Nobody had ever sung 'Dolphins,' which was invented by the club.

Those dates are slightly misleading because we wore a variety of badges, including a dual-crest one, in the 1960s.

I think our current badge is my favourite of all the badges we've had, though the double crests was a nice one.

The Withdean years shields were awful.

This

I like the early and centenary coat of arms style, loe the dolphin and 70's seagull. the new one is good, gull going the wrong way though.

Hi All,

first time posting after many years of just reading!

this may have come up in the past, but wondered what fans views are on our club badge. Don't get me wrong our current and of course pre withdean years is much better than during Withdean, but is it time to upgrade again for the new generation?

Juventus recently did it and many fans do love it.

Wondered what ours would look like if this would ever change to a B like the J in Juventus!

Now I may upset some fans here and do apologise if I do!

of course it could just be a simple change of kit suppler where the badge will look good again (I can't stand Nike)!

I’d would like to see some suggestions.

 

[albionalbino]

Blackburn's is great, but I think Wolves wins it for me. Always thought Southampton's was a bit shite, personally.

Agreed. The Wolves badge is my favourite of the English clubs too. Salford and Spurs are pretty good too.
Our current badge is the best we've had IMHO. However, Pumas UNAM in Mexico and Caen's viking are both good.

Might I suggest Leeds stagni est ollam or Palace scholam redire

that's interesting that the seagull now points the other way. Wonder why they changed? Can only think of a "club moving forward" symbol

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Sheffield United's is my favourite

Great nickname to The Blades

As for simple club badges,I like Pompey's

Straightforward tattoo I'd imagine

Agree, needs modernisation. The seagull should have antlers and some flames. The club should also be renamed to Brighton 3000 and relocate to New York.

 

[Eeyore]

My favourite badge is the old twin crests one.

But the seagull, as it is, has history now too. No need to change it.

[studio150]

No need to change until we qualify for European Football, then we can have a seagull flying high over the outline of Europe.
