Bit shit. For whatever reason reminds me of Warner Bros looney tunes logo. The 'London' thing is desperate. 'East' London, as suggested would have made a point but that wouldn't have supported a globally all inclusive, family fun filled branding exercise.

I can see why the castle came off, no problem with that as its been done before. The new hammers are really good, so much so I had them tattood on the back of my calf in claret and blue. The shape of the badge re-creating the hull of a ship is a nice touch as well.
The bad parts: The font of West Ham United is shit. Like the stadium if it said East before the London I'm fine with that, as it is it's trying to be something were not so add the word East or get rid.

It's change.
Change is generally bad.
Therefore it's shit.
Old one was fine and didn't need to be changed

The crossed hammers on their own are more old school and before my time, but I grew up with the castle and was a bit gutted to see it go. The font is my only gripe really and I actually like the nod towards London but should have been prefixed by 'East' if anything.

Gone from best badge in the league to the worst I reckon...

I like it. Never did like the castle. Anyway, I'm sure we wouldn't give a fuck about the badge if we were winning!
COYI!

Crossed hammers, great. Shit fucking Tesco value font and cringeworthy London make it by far the shittiest badge in the league to go with our shit team, manager, owners and stadium.

Looks brilliant, probably the best crest in the world after Celtics.

Is the "old" crest the one you grew up with, by any chance?

I like 90% of it, but I hate 'London'.
I wonder what it would have looked like with 'United' down there? Not that that would have ticked the box they wanted to tick.

In the minority, I know, but I like it without the castle. Say it quietly, I am not that offended by London being on it. Would have preferred "1895" if something "had" to be at the bottom, but I can live with it. I really, really, don't like the font, mind.
I like a lot of the newer modern badges, they look cleaner and unfussy. Wolves and watford look unique and are quite "Germanic" in thier design. I dislike ones that are hard to draw... Southampton, Newcastle, Manachester United, etc.

Not that this hasn't been discussed ad infinitum on here already but...
It's not bad aside from two things- the fact LONDON is on it, and the font in general. It's too 'modern'.
The old crest was far, far, far better though. It was superb, and one of the best looking ones, and I'm sad they got rid.

I'm hoping this is all like the 'New Coke' marketing campaign of the 1980s, and it all turns out to be a bit of a ruse to make us appreciate 'Classic Coke/West Ham' that little bit more.
We'll be back in E13 with a castle on our badge as soon as this year's financials are in.
Or maybe not :/

Awful. SInce the badge changed the performances have plummeted. Bring back the old badge that players showed pride for.
