Current logo looks crap in all yellow, which is one of the main reasons we want a change. I also think the size is perfect. The jumpers from the 90's had a small logo too.

Pretty good pic of the navy and royal on the club site (background image).
Yeah but it sat much nicer between the wings, rather than below them. and it didn't look too small. The current one looks a little small to me.
Plus the wings started from a piont, which is probably not able to happen now with the rounded collar.
Like I said, overall I like it, if I'm being picky (which I am
) then I think there's room for improvement. But I'm a sucker for the old 90's style footy jumpers, so that's probably clouding my judgement, and making me want the old head back too.
Maybe the size is right, looks good on Priddis' guernsey, some other shots it looks small. I guess with the navy outline gone, it's always going to look a little smaller than it is.
I'm looking forward to seeing it in action today
That logo looks way off-center to the left.Yeah but it sat much nicer between the wings, rather than below them. and it didn't look too small. The current one looks a little small to me.

I never really noticed that, now that you mention it, I can't unsee it
Thanks!!Maybe the text under it, like in my avatar, helps to make it all look centred. I guess when you've got an unbalanced logo, it's always going to look a bit off, one way or another.

Dare we bring back the white outline?
You're either going to have the tail end hit the wing, or the front half look a bit off. Without going full nuclear and rebranding with a more symmetric head, I think we've got it as best we can.
And no, how dare you say the wings should be smaller. I'm quite offended personally.

Wash your mouth out, Matthew.
I think people were getting carried away with wanting these deep, old school style wings, when on modern templates, it doesn't really work. They're either smaller and more rounded or deeper and straighter looking. The rounded collar doesn't help, as there isn't a perfect spot for the wings to start.
Personally, I think these are the best size wings we've had since the "new" wings in 2003

Can I just clarify that I don't want the white outline back (as does any wings fanatical Eagles supporter, it was shithouse), but that's why it was there.
I actually reckon it was there because of the change in 95 to navy home, they wanted the eagle head to stand out more, as the text was removed, so put white around the head, and had to do it for the wings and numbers. Much prefer it without, especially the numbers.
Just to clarify, I do like the new wings, I can look past all the little I feel could be improved, and appreciate it for what it is, a bloody nice jumper!!

Just saying that I think the wings are just about the best they've ever looked.
No idea what some you are talking about.

The original wings guernseys didn't start from a point, so the new navy is actually quite accurate.

Good point. So there is quite a differnce between the late 80's and early 90's jumpers of the same design. Wonder why?

Yes.
That guy in the middle, with the awesome mullett, looks like Andrew Swallow.
