Wigan Athletic Reveal New Club Crest

Posted on May 14th, 2008 in Wigan Athletic by swji

Further to the article we had by td1 in April, English Premier League side Wigan Athletic have now officially revealed their new club crest.

The new design sees a circular badge, with a tree and crown. This comes in addition to the team name around the outside of the circular centre.

The old crest is pictured below. It is clear that the club has decided to go with a more simple, accessible and more easily memorable crest to take the brand forward.

Wigan Athletic’s 07/08 EPL campaign came to an end this past Sunday, with Macnhester United defeating them 2-0 at the JJB Stadium, to clinch their 17th English title overall.

    I like the crest evolution trend. I thought nothing is forever. If the changes are well done, respecting the tradition but thinking in the future, it could be great. Wigan’s designers have done a good job. Althought the tree could be a quite simple.

    Most people could do a hell of alot better with Photoshop and 20 minutes

    i think that the wigan athletic new crest lacks compaticence and sensibility. therofore i am calling an issue of degree momentelerey of the withdrawal of all wigan athletic shirts as i dissaporve of the functionability of the crest.
