Which guernsey - new 2017 clash Guernsey post #152

[My name geoff]

After voting to bring back the old style monogram on the Carlton guernsey, I now find myself torn on which one actually looks best.

I would like to start a poll to get a feel of which guernsey people would prefer, now that we have the benefit of having seen both style monograms for an extended period.

2016 2015

What we have now is so much better that I find myself contemplating killing everyone who wants to return to the failuregram.

That's a 10-4 for the 2016 guernsey then

Geoff, we reverted to the old monogram in 2015. So technically everyone is voting for the old CFC.

Tell me, Adonis...

How did you feel the moment Dejan put that ball in?

Not a troll, quite interested...

I've always been a Liverpool fan so I jumped up off the couch much like the rest of my Liverpool-supporting family who were watching that morning.
I scored a Liverpool-Dortmund half-half scarf in the end so I was happy.
I've set out who I follow in the case of my European teams playing eachother.

Anyway, back to Carlton.. That football club we both like...

I thought this was referring to the CareerOne logo or something?

Because we had the same monogram last year.

As long as Cripper has the ball they can play in nighties........

 

[TheCoach16]

Just ask Jacob Weitering which one he prefers, and go with that one. I've not seen him make a bad decision yet....

 

[thylacine60]

Working beautifully, Coach.

Thank you thy. Even a busted watch is right twice a day...

I don't like the current logo at all, and not sure why anyone likes it, apart from old nostalgizers who are stuck in the past.

The more rounded CFC monogram was way better.

Pretty sure the club asked it's fans to vote on line and it was a resounding winner.

Most of our active supporters are nostalgizers

In 1996 or when ever it was we chose to go all modern because modern, smooth and slick looking was the fashionable and popular thing. The way I see it, the old one/ones stood for nothing, never had success in them, only hardship, fines and spoons. A runners up is the best we could manage. I like how we have gone back to the bolder, more traditional monogram that we have had so much success in.

The 2016 one looks sloppy and unprofessional... Like one of the players mums made them or something...

So we revert back to an uglier monogram just because we happened to be wearing it when we were successful?
This is what I mean by nostalgizers.
Also we just won a spoon with our new old logo. Maybe we should re-design again?

Well, they are the ones who have to wash them.

Coz it's not uglier.

It's more bold, striking and strong.

I don't see it as uglier at all, quite the opposite. I see the other slick one as ugly, it was the fashionable thing at the time and has since gone out. The smooth, rounded, refined look IMO it's run its race. That can stay in the late 90's-2000's along with bleached, heavily gelled hair. Retro is more in now and the one we have now, to me, it just looks better, bolder. Guernseys that try to look "modern" are just ugly more often than not.

I especially hated the 'Toshiba' jumper sponsorship era.

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

the old/new 'revised' logo is clunky and looks like mum's appliqué effort from 1978.
It has history and that can't be argued, but the more refined/stylized effort (that we still
see on the 'mens sana' badge) is nicer. I would've preferred they persisted with the stylized badge
version and let the likes of cripps and weito make it their own in the future.

We'll have to agree to disagree. You see bold, strong, and striking. I see chunky, cartoonish, and amateur.

I hate that logo on the back.

I felt affronted when my new Cripper guersney rocked up and that was the first thing I saw
