koizim Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 In other news, Norway unveiled a new crest and kit today:I see that Nike has already started influencing the Umbro brand. It would have been a lot better without the shoulder piping.I wouldn't blame Nike for this kit; they (unlike adidas and Umbro) tend to make, well, tasteful kits. No, I'd pin this blunder squarely on Umbro. I really like the new Norway crest. It's sharp, though I can't recall the previous crest.

horrorshow Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Love the new Norway crest. It looks a tad more like a club team's crest, but I think that's part of what works for it. Brilliant stuff. I like to spout nonsense on camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCE Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Why are so many new badges so plain? Is it to keep production costs down? I know it's a complicated mismash of elements and the green was just slapped on it to appeal to Irish/Catholic fans, but Liverpool's badge and similarly-styled ones remind me of the tradition of the clubs, because they're so obviously the result of a long evolution. I'd only like to see some clubs add a bit of depth to their badges, like most American logos. (And like Arsenal did, sorta, and several clubs in Russia.)umm...the green above the Liver bird in the crest represents the Shankley gatesI know that. I just like to get Liverpool fans fired up. BTW I agree with you that the best badges contain symbols that represent the club's history, local reference (ground, city, county, whatever).I don't know much about British trademark law. Couldn't Arsenal have just trademarked the name "Arsenal" on the badge, even though the other elements were just generic heraldic symbols?In the USA, Australia etc. club names are protected by trademark law., and the torches represent Hillsborough. More here on Wiki and also on Liverpool's site. Which just backs up your point that many crests have symbols that stand for something and should be more than just fancy new-school graphic design works (hi, Portsmouth!) but the issue is that in many cases the teams can't copyright the more traditional heraldic crests, and are forced to modernize or lose out on part of their intellectual property. It's what Arsenal had to do.also, new West Ham kit is trying to battle against Cech's new keeper uniform in a race to see who can blind more people.Avert your eyes!LOL! I like the shade of blue (compared to pale Man City/Lazio blue) but contrasting shorts/socks are needed! The stripes don't do anything to highlight the badge, though. Would have been better if the stripes were raised so the badge was on the white portion only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaltonHG Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Looks like Norway has decided not to use the new logo.....After massive complains by the Norwegian people about the new design, the NFF President Sondre Kfjord promised that feedback will be taken into account in a further process of developing a new emblem. The launch of a new emblem on Tuesday has provoked strong debate in the last few days. The NFF management is using the points of view that have come out as a background to the debate, and concluded that the teams will play with the flag on their shirts until a new emblem is finally ready."We have decided to work to develop a new emblem to include the flag, so that players can continue to play with the flag on their shirt", said the President. The debate has confirmed a strong engagement with Norwegianinternational football and the position of football in Norway. "The engagement shows that the national teams are important flag-bearers for the Norwegian people, and there are many people who are not pleased with the new emblem and want the flag back on the shirts, so it's something we have to take seriously. I can promise that the contributions will be taken into account in the further process to shape a unique identity for Norwegian international football", said Kfjord.
