Change the QPR badge/crest?

[CroydonCaptainJack]

Makes a change from another thread laying into the club/TF/LF/CR etc etc

You realise that changing the badge will likely cost far more than the relatively small amount that will increase from the few that are currently boycotting the club shop?

No, I do not realize that at all. Furthermore, changing the crest is a one-time cost whereas the lost revenue from keeping it is ongoing, year after year. And although neither of us knows for certain, I believe it is much bigger than you think. Anywhere from £100-£200 per year for me alone.

Well that ought to cover it then.

for one there is more than a few ,that arnt buying merchandise with the current Briatore crest .
for two ,loads of people who buy club s hit ,will update all their stuff with a new crest
and for three it would be nice for the club to listen to us for once and give us a chance to vote on our badge

Well the vote in this thread alone suggests that there isn't a massive desire for it from the fans (I realise that 31 votes on this forum doesn't represent the QPR fanbase as a whole, but it's an indicator)

It's not the Briatore crest, it's the QPR badge, it's probably time to grow up and get over it. TF is far from popular now, how many will start boycotting the Fernandes crest if it was implemented? The same amount of fans?

The cost of a crest change will need a massive sustained surge in memorabilia sales to cover it. How many fans do you imagine are currently boycotting still?

just seen this badge on twitter. love it.

Genuinely prefer the current crest, much as that one is the one I grew up with.

I hope you're not as dim as that comment makes you seem. If there are 1,000 fans boycotting, which is quite a small percentage, that is, say, £150,000 per year. Every year.

How much does it really cost to change it? Bit of paint around the stadium, update some stationery, done. I'd say even in one year the business case makes sense.

well the vote at present is 13 out of 34 in favour of changing it NOW, there will always be others ,like andythefish ,who`d still like it changed ,but don`t think its a priority that should be done now. So yeah ,even though ive no idea out of the whole fanbase how many arn`t buying merchandise with the current badge on , ( and neither have you ) there is still a sizable proportion ,whether you like it or not.
Also,if anyone needs to grow up and get over anything ,its you ,and accept the fact that other people have a different view of the current badge than you .

I can cope perfectly with differing opinions, I'm just happy to counter some weak arguments in favour of changing it at this moment in time. I'm not averse to a new badge, as the QPR badge will always be just the symbol for the the club, whatever it is, I just don't think we should waste any money or time on changing it now.

I do not understand actively boycotting the badge and anything on it, it just strikes me as really weird. It's a QPR badge, and if anything, would be not far from any badge that we could hope to have designed, with it's links to past badges and the local area.

FFS, we've just been relegated and will most likely lose our best players, so personally I couldn't give a toss about the bloody badge. It's been done to death and imo, ####ing about changing it yet again and all the re branding etc that would be needed is just a complete waste of time and money. Lets focus on what really matters!

[Ranger-JimBob]

Even though there's bigger issues, I personally like the current crest.

Leave it as it is.
