Wigans has got a tree on it, I put it in there because I think the badge should have some sort of reflection on the team, what have Wigan got to do with a tree??

I really like Scunny's, it's pretty creative. Voted for Fulham - it's shockingly boring.

Fair enough, I still think the tree is too dominant, they should have incorporated Wigan Pier in somewhere too.

In that case the Brighton badge should have a pier on it too, although no doubt the seagull is on it's way to nick some chips from the pier.

whats wrong with the wigan one?

Cheltenham is proper shit though, will walk this.
All of this.

And to be honest, much as I despise them, why is Portsmouth's on here? That is the city crest the football club uses. It really isn't *that* gash.

Ours does everything it says on the tin, our nickname is the Seagulls and we've got a big f*** off Seagull on our crest. Wigans says nothing about them, the least they could have done was put on the only worthwhile attraction in their non-descript town.

Pies?

I truly think Cheltenham's is dreadful - nearly as bad as Bournemouths.

I love Scunny's though, that would be my vote for best - don't know what that's doing in this list (nor Pompey's come to think of it)

Johnny Foreigner here. I rarely find a badge I don't like. Full of history, full of interest.

Pompey's crescent is taken from the history of the city of Portsmouth. Crusaders embarked there, hence the crescent.
Same thing with Scunny's -- the North was the land of coal and iron, in the days when art like that was topical.

Fulham's is sort of 'meh'. I have seen it a hundred times, and 99 times out of a hundred I thing "La Liga? Bundesliga?" It looks Continental somehow.

Cheltenham is shit though -- and I bet it replaced something real. It reeks of 1986.

I'm glad Portsmouth are doing badly in the poll. Worst badge in professional football, but those people don't deserve any distinction at all.

But at least Portsmouth's is based on the city coat of arms (rather like our centenary crest was)

Fulham. Looks like it was designed by an art student who knows nothing about football.
