Watford Logo Vote Results Announced
Nov 20, 2019, by Pat
Watford FC just announced the highly anticipated results of the crest vote that had been going on for the past few days.
In the end, the current 'moose' crest has beaten the one created by Dilley Studio (Marcus Dilley & Brian Gundell) by a narrow 60-40 margin.
Spencer Field, the club’s Global Strategy & Partnerships Director, said: “The initiative has thrown up some opportunities for the club. In particular, we will be utilizing one of the 4,000 designs for retail/merchandising purposes.
“Very few of you will have seen the relevant design, as it was never suitable as the club’s official badge, but we think it will modernize our fashion range and we look forward to unveiling it in 2020.”
Finally, the club thanked the more than 25,000 fans that participated in the voting process throughout its different stages.
Marcus Dilley took to his Twitter to comment on the decision.
Thanks to all the fans that helped us through the process and backed us in the final vote.

It’s great to know our design, that was made just 5 months ago, competed and won around 40% of the vote against the current crest that has been the foundation of the club for 41 years. https://t.co/DDp6BTV6BS

The Adidas Champions League 26-27 League Phase Ball made an early appearance during Arsenal's two most recent pre-season friendlies.
This could very well be the final Champions League League Phase ball produced by Adidas, as Nike is expected to take over as the official match ball supplier for UEFA men's club competitions starting from the 27-28 season.
Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for spotting this detail and creating the graphic.
