A round badge is the port of call for many proud fans, but going back to it would be a misstep - it's a choice that has been taken out of Villa's own hands by years of lazy design.

It is similar to the badge from 2016 to 2023. However, shortly after the 2023/24 season started, it was decided that the new design was not for them.

There’s good news and bad news, geeks. The good is that you’ve got a military badge to wear — just like the jocks who fly jets or jump out of planes. The bad is that badge is kind of lame.
