Tried some modernisation using AI. 

Nah, makes it too generic. Current badge is unique and historic. Leave her be. 

Nice though.

Are you proposing a design that includes the skeletal remains of Fred Dibnah for the club crest?

Or an urn...

We did not have it for 89 years of the club's history.

Also, if you squint it looks like a tribute to Franny Benali with the tree being his 'tache. Brucie bonus.

I wouldn’t be adverse to the old Southampton city crest being used on a shirt, maybe even a third kit. Some teams with adidas as their supplier have had retro style thirds kits made, with the trefoil and a retro club badge, I’d love to have seen something like that for us.

Keep it, looks good, nothing wrong with it as it is and pretty much all new crests/badges look shite anyway and end up being refreshed to something else that also looks shite.  Anyone that wants a new one can go do their own and get a tattoo of that on their arse if they're that bothered about it.

Personally I think that's a bit of a mess.

It’s basically a cleaned up version of something they had previously but with the date added in there. Very bland.

Something wrong with clubs changing their crests every 10-20 years and NO we dont need to change ours.

We didn't have our current one for 89 years of the clubs existence. Things change.

You don't 🌚

Keep ours as it’s fine in my eyes, instantly recognisable as the saints with the halo over the ball. I did think years ago the ball halo and scarf with Southampton Fc underneath cd be a good simpler alternative but I think keep what we have. Other teams seem to change and not make them any better.

Keep it it different. Almost carton like compared to a lot of the modern ones. We have done well to keep it as it is since 1974… the year I was born!

Oh I quite like the Stoke one. 

Cambridge United changed theirs last season it is terrible!

Reminds me of the old Brentford crest.
