Saxondale Posted 20 June 2014 Posted 20 June 2014 Link. Hull City: New badge for 2014-15 campaign has no nameBy Simon Stone BBC Sport Hull City have unveiled a new crest for the 2014-15 season, which does not feature the club's name. The latest redesign follows owner Assem Allam's plans to change the club's name to Hull Tigers, which was rejected by the Football Association in April. The badge bears only a tiger's head and the year of the club's formation, 1904. "Why, when the club is more successful than ever, would you not tell everyone your name," said Mark Gretton, of fans' group City Till We Die. According to the club's vice-chairman Ehab Allam , the new crest is a "more stripped back and modern approach which still celebrates the club's heritage and history". Yet, as the Premier League club prepare for their Europa League debut after reaching last season's FA Cup final, the move has angered the supporters' group. They have described the move as "extremely foolish". "It is ludicrous," Gretton told BBC Sport. "The FA has no jurisdiction over badges but this undermines their judgement. We have become the club with no name. It is remarkable. "We have a global brand already. It is Hull City. Our nickname is the Tigers."

marko Posted 20 June 2014 Posted 20 June 2014 It's a shame Mr Allam didn't put Tony the Tiger eating a bowl of Frosties on the badge to really wind them up.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 20 June 2014 Posted 20 June 2014 That tiger looks like it's had a bash on ket anyway, you can't polish a turd.
Beliall Posted 20 June 2014 Posted 20 June 2014 It's a shame Mr Allam didn't put Tony the Tiger eating a bowl of Frosties on the badge to really wind them up. That would have got a ... frosty... reception, am i right?

BoneDog Posted 20 June 2014 Posted 20 June 2014 Have you seen the chin on the thing? Appalling effort. The whole bottom half of the jaw and teeth-line should have been re-drawn. If I was a Hull fan I'd be as black as thunder. Almost enraged.
MooseBreath Posted 21 June 2014 Posted 21 June 2014 Playing devils advocate a bit, the minimal club badge could actually be quite stylish if done correctly. You'd need a better tiger pic than that though.

Babylon Posted 21 June 2014 Posted 21 June 2014 It's a damn site better than their last badge, and from what I can see it has gone back to more the minimalist style they had in the 40's The tiger is still shocking though.
Jam Posted 21 June 2014 Posted 21 June 2014 That tiger looks like it's had a bash on ket anyway, you can't polish a turd. Hahahaha! That just made me burst out laughing, ah jesus thanks for that!
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 22 June 2014 Posted 22 June 2014 But it looks more like a Leopard than a tiger or is that just me
