    If only we would use the proper colours more. I’ve noticed more often now that we’re using single coloured crests on a lot of strips and training kit. 

    It’s a fashion trend, these things tend to come and go and are usually led by the big brands and others follow suit. This has happened for years.

    Oh, I don't doubt that at all... it's just unfortunate* that in silhouette, it looked like a ship :)

    * Or actually quite fitting, I suppose.

    Yes the brain is a funny thing and it tends to interpret images down to a more recognisable subject matter. A battle steamer is a more common subject than perhaps a steelworks scene. I mocked up an adapted the crest a few years ago which I copied from a closer steelworks image, but the adaption was too radical for some.

    It still looks like a battleship steamer to me, to be honest, just a more detailed one. Even has a proper bow at the front, now...

    Believe it or not the drawing is apparently based on an actual view of the Steelworks from an old photograph. The original scene had been ‘rotted’ over the years and has only now been ‘cleaned up’. Certainly 100% better than we had. 

  4. I’ve campaigned for years for a redraw and I’m very happy with the newly updated crest. The ‘battleship steamer’ has gone and the crest has been reunited with the Steelworks landscape. Well done to all involved in this subtle improvement. :ok:

  5. St Johnstone are a very good side, however, if we approach the game in the correct manner we have a chance to get all three points.
     

    Even this early I’m wary of teams taking bonus points off the Old Firm and so far Hearts and Dundee United have done just that.
