The club are clearly pushing the scroll-less badge, because it’s everywhere around Home Park and they just used it on the Abba promotion (https://www.instagram.com/p/Btof0zUD7Ch/).
I think that looks cleaner and more minimalist, which is what most football clubs are doing now (like the excellent new Juventus crest). Clubs are also looking at how good the badge looks on leisure wear and on social media etc.
And for the 4685th time... it HAS to have the word ‘Argyle’ on it. Along with the colour green that’s one of two things that have to be front and centre of our identity, and it’s not even on the crest :shocked:

Let's keep some hint of tradition. :greensmile:
Keep the PAFC scroll, put 'Argyle' on the hull of the ship? :think:

Who has said that many times before? The facts are that the Mayflower DID leave from Plymouth, the Pilgrim Fathers’ last night on land WAS in Plymouth, and the significance of that is recognised themselves and in history by the naming of Plymouth Rock and Plymouth, Massachusetts. Case closed.
All of history is happenstance and coincidence, why would you want to distance your own city from such a significant event?
