After holding a fan survey, Aston Villa announced earlier this year that they would be changing their official club crest for the start of the 2023/24 season. Last week the voting came down to two badges, and the winning crest was confirmed on Wednesday evening.
The official club statement read: Fans were asked to choose between a design inspired by the founding story of our historic Club, in the form of a traditional gas lamp, or a more traditional, round crest which pays homage to our 1982 European Cup triumph. As part of the voting process, fans were also asked whether they would simply prefer to keep the current crest.
Over 21,500 fans took part in the vote.
