Why did we change the colour of the elephant in the mid-90s? This, and why did the 87/88 team picture not include the FAC? are the two decades old burning questions I have never received an answer to!
I'm with you. I have always liked that design. Simplified but still retains some core elements.
However, I also recognize that as an American, I may be a bit predisposed to that style of crest. I am the last one to get any input on the matter of any wholesale change.
But would that look better with one castle/rock (don’t mind the retro of the original) and instead of the badge with the name , a ribbon underneath the ball?
