JustMike Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 Heard a while back that they wanted to change the look of the badge and it appears from the official FB that it's happening. If you also look around the newly developed reception all the colour has gone from the badge on doors / walls. https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/400490_474641929215699_1010571144_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMike Posted 15 August, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 August, 2012 although, having said that they are still using the old one for the fixtures etc. Maybe a transition period or they will run with both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussexsaint Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 (edited) Isn't this just the slick corporate designer crest for use of stationary /posters etc rather than a change? Edited 15 August, 2012 by sussexsaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stickman, front-on, with a smiley face, wearing a saints scarf, standing on one foot for some reason, with 'Spirit of Southampton' scrawled in what was basically comic sans underneath.

Sung by what sounded like the New Seekers, starting off quite low and whispered, then building steadily to a shrill, shrieking finale, before the voiceover man from the Odeon ads for curry houses on Above Bar cut in to push tickets for this Saturday's thrilling clash against Wimbledon at The Dell.

This is the only thing resembling him I can find at the moment (short of delving into the garage for some well-hidden programmes)... The 1992-4 programmes all had the phrase on the cover though.

Difficult to believe they were ever going to use it as an actual badge though... Seriously, I remember a kit being released with it on, there was a picture in the echo although I never saw one in the shops. I think it was the blue flame one although I may be wrong on that. there was a big protest article in the paper version of The UI or On The March about it. Remember it well, they wer serious about making it the badge at one point. Must have been about 91/92. Pretty sure I was still at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 15 August, 2012 Share Posted 15 August, 2012 I have many OTM and UIs from around that time (gathered retrospectively) so I might have a rummage at some point to see if I can find any complaints.
