They could have filled the space within the shield a bit more but that's minor. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frying Scotsman Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Not a bad effort that I think. The old fashioned "town crest" type logos are really outdated, and look daft to most of the generation who will buy merchandise these days, and also look poor from a corporate point of view. Chapeau to Hull KR for trying to preserve a bit of their heritage but in a modern logo that incorporates the Robin. Definitely one of the better re-brands I have seen in Rugby League.

I like how they've incorporated the robins and the shields together. It's a good effort I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Frightful Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Quite clever that. I'm obviously not going to go as far as "I like it", but is it a temporary thing or are they sticking with it? Because, although I don't know when they came up with the original badge, I'm assuming there's 133 years of history linking Hull KR to the three crowns of Hull... Hull FC....The Sons of God...

jacksy Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I like it..well done KR. Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I believe these new simpler styled rebrands are mainly about how they then transfer lookswise on digital devices. Of course the more radical you go then the more you can hope to recoup greater merchandise sales of the new design too - if it is liked and well received! I actually think Hull KR have reached a good compromise by not overly tinkering with an already good badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hull KR are getting a lot of things right on & off the field this season. Possibly why their CEO is on the new SL/RFL working group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 I preferred the original, but then again I’m a hopeless traditionalist. Loving what KR are doing in general though, good luck to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an attitude it seems like Hull KR are looking up rather than down, which is good for them and the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The empty space is there for a reason, it makes it work when the crest is used small, if it was more tightly packed the elements would look as though its ‘filling in’ or merging together, it’s all part of making the logo work across different formats.

Hull Kingston Bronco Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 More detail on the rationale and process here for those interested - https://badge.hullkr.co.uk Also, great example of excellent change communication and implementation I think The single robin graphic works really well in digital media when it’s animated, impressive. Have to say whether you like it or not the graphic designer that had the ‘eureka’ crown > robin moment certainly earned their money that week eh - clever Apparently this site says I "won the day" here on 23rd Jan, 19th Jan, 9th Jan also 13th December, whatever any of that means. Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

Perhaps unintended or even subconsciously included, it does add to the designs' significance. It's good, in fact it's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long time ago (1985) I met two girls from Hull, wearing their replica shirts, in Benidorm. It was in the week leading up to the Wembley final. I leaned in and said ''What about Wigan then?'' and one of the girls, jabbed her two fingers into my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
