So if 64.8% is legit, then the badge choice is highly likely the one legitimately voted in.

Ah yes, there is no doubt it was the most popular of the 3. But I think it is slightly telling Neil references the percentage that voted for a change, rather than this change. Which makes me think it is much closer to vote to remain or this specific badge had less than 50% of the vote, neither would be particularly compelling numbers to push as a reason to change.

I do also wonder if that includes those who chose to stick with the current badge but left in comments saying they'd be open to change with different options - which was mentioned in the SB minutes a few months back.

To add, I don't think the vote was rigged. But there was never any openness about if a specific badge needed a majority or just a vote to change. I believe this badge was decided on before the vote with an unclear voting process which meant the results could be manipulated to guarantee the outcome of a cheap sticker badge to look the same as most other clubs under the guise of consultation

They really tried to say that the circle type is based on roundabouts :lol: christ

To me it is like you get the choice of treading in shit. Eating shit or falling over in shit. Whatever choice shit is involved.

Ive always thought our badge was bloody awful. But it’s ours. This badge keeps it but hides it away a bit. Like a dodgy cousin. So I don’t mind it

Having listened to Harts interview the badge we've gone for had 0% of the votes, because they've designed a new one

Very subtle difference, but it has a outer gold circle with a thinner black circle rather than a thick black one. Which admittedly is slightly better but comes up worse on a white background

I like it... people don't like change and they like to be negative, so there is bound to be some kick back.

Pointless. Wasn't a huge fan of the original one, but as someone on Twitter said they've somehow made it worse.

They talk about evolution, the start of a new era etc in the promotional video.

All they've done is put a bloody circle round it and a white background.

Would have been much more acceptable and meaningful if it was just Milton Keynes Football Club (or Milton Keynes City) with this new crest design.

There's no evolution here.

Wasn’t a fan of any of them at first, but it’s starting to grow on me..totally get the idea of getting Milton Keynes and football club within too.

Also agree with NH that once it’s around the ground and on a new shirt etc it’ll look better I’m sure

I think it’s quite clear the new owners wanted a full name change and rebrand but got pushed back on it, this is the second best thing. I think it’s needed imo and I totally get it. I just think the quality of options could have been…better?
