    I bet Spurs would nick it if they could.

    I like our current badge, some of the newer ones other clubs have done are absolutely dreadful. Thinking City & West Ham as most recent.

    The badge is like a flag for me, changing it is pointless.

    Must admit, I do like the designs that feature within the overall shape. I've changed my opinion. Years ago I preferred the traditional badges that had overt features outside of a shield or circle. Football itself has changed dramatically, even in the last 10 years. It's about time we shook off tradition and badges should reflect that modern shift. There are plenty of opportunities to remember it elsewhere.

    Always fun to see Saints win at White Hart Lane, but this is a little bit different from 1992. If my ears don't deceive me, that's World Cup Final 1966 commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme do the talking.

    Don't underestimate the power of design. If we want to sell a lot more shirts we need to ditch the stripes and change the badge (it is the worst in the prem). Kids care more about how they look and nobody looks good in a deckchair. Sorry! Just my opinion and I know it won't go down well on here.

    Do you really think the badge is the worst in the Prem? <yikes>

    And why on Earth would ditching striped make a difference? Though you'll get half your wish next season as there will be no stripes on the back of the shirt.

    Also... is it Sunday yet? <whistle>


    In seriousness though, looking forward to this game and am confident of us scoring but we will need to be a lot better defensively if we are to get anything from this. Kane out is a big boost to be fair and I hope we adopt similar tactics to the semi finals against Liverpool and sit deep looking to hit on break.

    I wonder if Caceres will come in in an attempt to shore up the defence? Surely we're going to have to give him a run at some point and it might be a good test for him in terms of the pace of the league.

    Not necessarily for this game but I'd also like to see Hojgberg given a game next to Romeu in the 'pivot' at some point as I'm not sure it's Davis best position. But then I don't really want to drop Davis or either of the front 4 so it's a tough one. I'm sure with all the fixtures we'll have in April we'll see a bit more rotation anyway... :bandit:

    Is there a premier league shirt that "looks good" ..... I don't think anyone wears their team's shirt for fashion reasons.

    I will be dead in 40 years, give or take.

    Happy for the badge changing to be considered at that point...

    I like the badge. It represents the city and area. Wouldn't be hugely against a change depending of course on what was proposed.

    Nothing wrong with stripes. Its a football kit. It would be boring if the league ended up with various shades of blue or red for every team.

    How are we going to hurt Spuds Sunday, Prince Manolo aside. I want people to convince me. I feel we could get something.

    Now we know managers are not really important, I say the tactic should be to kick or head the ball in the general direction of Gabbiadini in the penalty area and he'll sort something out
