eez-eh Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 We seem to have passed up a good chance to rebrand the club as it's almost certain we'll end up with a rehash of the current badge. The Burns and the Anchor badges are great ideas but the execution of them ain't the best. We really should have gotten a few professionals to spend some proper time on it and throw a few others into the mix, that choice is a bit pish.

ftk Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 What happened to all the other clubs that were going to have to change their badge? Remember an article saying Rangers and Dundee Utd had to change there's as they had the lion rampant on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 'N Yellow Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 The Burns one looks like the German National team badge. "Ayr uber alles" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Probably better going with the one that offers an analogy of our season. Anchor noun plural noun: anchors 1. A heavy object attached to a cable or chain and used to moor a ship to the sea bottom. Ian McCall jobby plural noun: jobbies 1. An excuse heavy object attached to a mouth and used to moor a team to the league bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that article and it only said that those clubs could potentially fall foul of the rules, but I'm sure that it also stated Lord Lyon will only act on something if it is reported to him. So unless someone goes to the trouble of reporting those clubs like the Airdrie bawbag has done to you then I expect the other clubs will be allowed to carry on as normal.

AyrTroopMajor Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'd be absolutely ashamed if any Ayr fan was bitter enough to do that. The Airdrie fan in question is an absolute throbber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Number 3 for me, something a bit different, never liked the old badge tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest_Man#1 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I'm far too lazy and not enough of a w****r to do it but would find it quite funny if it happened to Rangers. But that's mainly because anything that makes Rangers fans/the club a seething mess is generally hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC 1910 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Horrific options.This is what happens when you ask supporters to submit options.Get a graphic designer a brief and get 5 proper badges made up.Should:1. Reflect the club both historically and going forward.2. Be able to be transferable from various media; online, on strips, on paper etc3. Think of the club as a brand and the badge as being at the forefront of itOr, we could have The Bard or an Anchor [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]We are neither poets nor sailors.Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuffster Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I hope people remember that this is not of the club's making rather it is a change forced upon them. Well done to everyone who submitted a design. I think some people who are criticising the club for not having a new badge professionally designed would be up in arms if fans were not consulted.

young buck Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Fair point wuff but the burns hing is hardly a design. It's basically the illustration of a hoor and a comic singer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
