New Portsmouth Crest

Posted on May 6th, 2008 in Portsmouth by reddevilrooney

Along with their unveiling of the away shirt and goalkeeper shirt, Portsmouth F.C. have revealed their new crest. This new badge is considerably different from the previous one, even though it maintains basically the same colours: blue and yellow. It will be used first in the programme for the team’s match against Fulham next Sunday.


Portsmouth new crest

The three points at the top of the old crest have been removed, with the new badge having a straight-line top. The star and moon that were part of the old emblem have been modified and given a three-dimensional look. The moon takes less space from the badge. In the old crest, the star was placed inside the moon, with the latter extending from left to right of the emblem. Now, the tips of the moon start near the tips of the horizontal points of the star. The new emblem reflects a stronger light and boasts a more modern design.

Below is the old crest that has now been replaced by the crest above. Feel free to pass your comments about the new design. Is it better than the old one?

    Now I’m Aussie so forgive me if I’m wrong, but that new badge looks alot closer to the actual city crest, more of a crescent moon. Any ideas?

    That looks terrible. Cant believe they paid someone to make a badge 3D and take square off the top. Original…..not.

    Pompey are a joke.

    I think it looks smart the version shown here is low res and the wrong colour. LOOK AT IT ON THE POMPEY SITE. Its a million times better than the old one with its squashed banana and comic pirate script.
