Hmmm. The old crest looks more dignified and grown up than this johnny come lately effort.

I can see why clubs like the logos as they're more instantly recognisable but this just looks a bit cheap IMO. Basing it around a cat from the 1930s seems a bit tenuous.

Oh dear.

I had hoped the licence system would see those excluded move away from the way Super League had "developed" the identities of clubs, but obviously not in this case.

Old town crests have no copyright though, do they?

Nope.

Clubs like Halifax must be losing millions of pounds a year with all the knock-off merchandise anyone is able to sell using their current logo!

The one with the cat and the crest is too fussy.

Do one thing or the other, not a fudge.

Keighleys is better:

the one with the club crest with Halifax underneath isn't too bad, but the cat one looks awful

I dont think there is anything wrong with the two new logos, one which keeps the traditional badge with a modern Halifax underneath and one with the cat, which could appeal to youngsters.

The club has decided not to go with a new nickname (thankgod), but come on your club and others have made an absolute fortune with the nicknames.

Nothing wrong with nicknames or logos so long as it's chosen wisely, there have been a few mistakes made around RL.

Just thought the logo with the cat looked a bif naff. I reckon the coat of arms is classier.
