Why did we change badges?

[Greencore]

Any reason why we changed our last badge to the current one?

Because the sloping pitch was gone/going?

Would be interesting to see the designs that were not used to replace the previous badge.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Love the current badge. Old one was awful, think that's the main reason. Can still see the old badge template on the green girders on famous 5 stand.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Because the last badge was crap .... and the one before that wasn't much better.

In one way or another a badge should either represent a clubs history or at least where it comes from .... the current badge covers all the bases and looks good as well.

The last one wasn't just terrible, it was utterly ludicrous and the subject of much scorn and derision during its very limited epoch. This one says Ireland, Leith and Edinburgh, the last one said Saturn.

The last one was pretty cool looking back for nostalgic reasons, but it was of an era, not timeless and doesn't really represent the club.

It was probably done in a rush after us getting into trouble with using the crown on the old, old badge.

The new badge is good, if a little busy. There's some small improvements I'd do to it, but there's no denying it represents the club very well.

I'm sure there was a fans competition to help design the badge. With entries being published in the EEN.

I may of course just be going mad!!

I'm going mad with you!

I'm sure that's correct

The final few were also published in a programme- one for the collectors to fish out for us all

Pretty sure was a pupil from Portobello High that created our current design

[JimBHibees]

The current badge is a thing of beauty. Superb.

I nearly fell off my chair that 'saturn' was shown on T.V. for the first time and ended up having many an argument with the chairman of the time, Jim Gray (of the Duff & Gray era). They were well intentioned, IMO, but this thing was horrendous, especially given all the other entries that fans had designed.

Whilst I agree that the badge was terrible, I really like how the outline of it is still featured on the FF stand.

Whether we like it or not it is representative of an era, the era when I first got into Hibs.

The new one is much better though.

[Greencore]

Really enjoying the responses to this thred. Nearly choked on my coffee with the Saturn response 😂. Gotta agree the previous badge did not represent us well and tell our story of who we are and what we are. The current badge is perfect, it is respectful to our past and to our now. Would love to see other designs that were considered at the time.

Apart from the obvious who do you think has a really rubbish badge in Scottish football? Hertz, Dundee United and Alloa for me.

This comment is deeply offensive to all Saturn worshippers amongst the Hibs support. This is the year 57BC, after all, and not the dark ages.

How long did we have the Saturn badge for?

It was from about 87-2000 I think.

Edit - looks like it came in in 89.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I like the current crest; my only criticism is the amount of detail in it. Perhaps the more simple design of a large harp would look more eye-catching.

Aberdeen, Dundee and any team with a Lion on it except Scotland.

I think we should go for both - keep that as our officisl club crest, bit use the harp as our unofficial one, put olit on our shirts etc

Abeerdeen's has to be the worst by some distance. Its like a boys club badge.

[Diclonius]

Our badge is perfect. Wouldn't do a thing to change it.

The "Saturn" shape has also been cut into the iron girders framing the outside of the Famous Five stand.

[Dobosz83]

I love the current crest. Although I think it would look better being 'joined' in full circle where the '18' and '75' part are. If that makes sense!

[ALF TUPPER]

Previous badge was awful. Always looked like it came off a beer bottle.

The current crest is fantastic. 😁

Wouldn't mind that, keep our current badge but wear something like this on our kits

I really don't get the obsession some people have with a harp badge. The harp is beautifully integrated into some other key elements in the current crest. I love the current badge and hope we keep it as it is for all time.
