FA announces new club heritage protection rules to avoid Everton badge controversy

The FA have announced the future implementation of new rules to protect the heritage of its clubs.

The new rules - due to come into force from the 2022/2023 campaign - will stop any club in both the men’s and women’s game substantially changing the crest or home kit colours without consulting with it’s supporters.

Such changes might come as a relief for many Everton fans who will remember the club’s ill-fated attempts to simplify the club crest in 2013, only to back-track after a forced fan consultation - but only after the new crest featured on the kit for a season.
