Not sure I massively like it on first glance but I guess that is because I have only really known their current badge.

i like the fact it goes back to their history and, to be honest, as long as their fans are happy and have been consulted it really doesn't matter what I think!

They've abandoned their loyalty to Middlesex. Brentford used to be the County Town.

 

[Insel affe]

Kinda like it in fairness

Meh. The bee is really nicely done but I'm getting sick and tired of clubs all using the same crest format (us included). It's boring.

 

[W.C.]

I quite like it but can't help feel that there must be upwards of 10 different clubs who have got the same people to redesign their logos in the last decade.

Looks more like a wasp than a bee...

I like it. Very simple, very effective, good use of primary colours.

In short, it's the Brentford version of the Brighton badge - image of their nickname in the middle, club name in the border of the roundel outside. The only difference is they have the year of formation in there.

Well of course, apart from the postal address and the County Cricket Club,Middlesex has all but disappeared anyway.

Much to my chagrin being born and raised in the town of Staines, or Staines upon Thames as it is now known.

Agreed. Brentford have done pretty much exactly what the Albion did when we moved from Gillingham to the Withdean back in 1999/2000.

I only hope the change of crest brings them as much success as it did us..

New badge far better than the old badge IMHO. Clean and simple.

Didn't Middlesex at one time stretch all the way over to Bow in the East End?

Pretty much.

I agree, I think it looks alright. Much better than the Sheffield Wednesday Hogwarts effort.

It did. GThe majority of Middlesex found itself in Greater London, with the south west corner being amalgamated into Surrey.

Like it, clean and simple. Since we changed ours there have been a lot of similar badges come about however

 

[AmexRuislip]

Pretty much.

Gearing yourself up to be a tour guide

Make interesting matchday punditry for Watford v Brentford.
AKA Hornets v Bees

Middlesex is only in name only for postal reasons these days.
As basically anything within the M25 is classed as London, Middlesex disappears, as all the local towns within, all morph one into other.

But surely ours was changed back to how it had been in the 70's/80's?
