That dates from 1973 when it adorned the programme cover. Present tiger is fine- anyone who wants a more 'ferocious' one needs to get a life.
Bleedin' hell, i'm making a habit of agreeing with you. The current badge is fine with me. It's better than the other sports teams with the same nickname. For Example, compare it to Leicester Tigers & Cas Tigers version, which are pretty cartoonish.
Nowt wrong with the current tiger at all. If they want to change the badge so that only the tiger is on there, that wouldn't really bother me, as long as they kept the current badge for most other things (like Liverpool - they've gone back to a more retro badge on the kits/clothing but kept the other one for everything else) Still annoyed by the fact that AA had gone back on his (AGAIN) and is not going to consult fans on the badge...
