Every Championship club badge ranked: From worst to first as Bristol City get a new crest
Bristol City have announced their new club crest and it’s certainly dividing opinion amongst the fanbase.Some love the robin on the ball, while other believe it’s far too similar to Brentford’s recent redesign, while also reminding others of Norwich City.It’s a reshaped shield, and the team name is now in a red circle around the actual logo, which sits beside their 1894 foundation date.Bristol City aren’t the only ones to announce a new badge this campaign with Hull City also altering their look.But, taking into account the new Bristol crest, which Championship football club has the best? talkSPORT.com rates and slates all 24 offerings in the second tier.

24. Stoke City

Quite frankly, its hard to convey just how boring this crest is. Its merely red and white stripes in the shield along with their name, nickname and year of their formation.23

23. West Bromwich Albion

This is, thankfully, a bit better than Stokes thanks to the throstle depicted on it but you cant get too far away from the Tesco Value feel.23

The red, white and blue of the crest gives this a bit of oomph but its not as good as their elm trees badge from the early 1980s.23

In 2008/09, their fourth Premier League season, the Latics returned to a classic crest for their current effort. Fans love the Tree and Crown thanks to its history and while it beats other circular badges, its not quite enough for anything other than mid-table.23

The Ewood Park side have had their current design since 1989 and its beginning to show. Its focus on the Lancashire rose is excellent but the typography in particularly is looking a little dated.23

17. Leeds United

Its understandable the club had been looking to redesign their club badge. The ribbing to the shield looks a little odd, and the rose-in-the-ball should be far more prominent, but it does at least have the lovely LUFC down the centre as a nod to the clubs previous crest, which some fans regard as the best.23

Were not fans of plain circular crests but the colours are bold and the blades do look great.23

One of the most unique badges in the Championship, it does look a little bulky but its instantly recognisable. It was designed by a fan in 1972 and won a competition run by the Sports Argus newspaper, although it didnt make it onto kits until 1976.23

This is marmite for some but the current version, tweaked in 2013 that has the Lancashire rose is a nice and has fans here at talkSPORT.23

The tiger roaring gives the club a nice dynamic badge, which softly reminds us of the MGM lion. The addition of the club name is welcome, as is the new shape of the shield.

11. Rotherham United

Theyre the Millers and they have the sails of a windmill on their crest, which is what we like to see. Its by no means a classic but its got some character.23

A unique badge, its another competition winner showing fans know their oats. If were being critical it could do with a tidy up when it comes to the castle and the lion, and possibly even the canary but nothing more than that. Its fine just as it is.23

9. Bristol City

It’s a stylish rebrand, that’s for sure, it does lose marks for the similarity to Brentford but overall it’s got the quality to achieve a high ranking. Chuck in the Clifton Suspension Bridge and you would have a title contender.

8. Ipswich Town

 A classic badge that still holds up, even in the modern era. The Suffolk Punch horse is iconic, along with the turret that creates the shield.23

The leaping lion is a classic crest and despite several redesigns continues to survive and does the business for us, although the 1992 version was probably the best of them all.23

This crest is able to appease both modernist and those who care for the clubs history. The lion is superbly detailed and works excellently, while the scroll adds a vintage feel.23

Simple yet bold and effective, the typography looks modern and the bee is stylish. The perfect badge as the club moves into a new era in a new stadium.23

The Villans have refined their badge over the years and produced a lovely effort. Its simple but the lion adds dynamism, while the star showcases their historic European Cup win.23

The return to their 1956 badge looks fantastic and holds a lot more charm than their recent owl efforts that have seemed a little basic.23

Pretty much the perfect modern club crest and yet it was designed back in 1973. You have the tree representing Sherwood Forest and the river beneath is the Trent. Even the typography on Forest looks great23

This is a beauty and deserves top spot in our ranking thanks to the excellent artistry. Swans have often been associated with royalty so its no surprise this takes the crown.23
