What the actual feck is that!! It looks like Babars love child FFS! Elephant complete with 'Supera Moras' motto to feature on new bespoke Macron match shirts After an absence of over 40 years, next season will see the return of the Bolton Wanderers elephant to the club’s new Macron-designed shirts. The elephant previously featured on the Bolton Wanderers kits within the club’s official crest, though this time round the current crest will be retained with the elephant located elsewhere on the new custom-designed shirts. The new design will also feature the town’s motto, ‘Supera Moras’, meaning ‘Overcome Delays’. The motto was originally used on the Bolton Wanderers crest during the halcyon days in the 1920s, when the club won the FA Cup three times in six years, including the first ever FA Cup final at Wembley in 1923. Richard Gough, head of commercial for Bolton Wanderers, said: “When we looked at the elephant design from down the years, the hand-made nature of the badges from that era meant there were no two alike. “Without a single reference point, we had the opportunity to update the design for the 21st century in such a format to be trademarked as our own and for it to be more easily reproduced both in print and on fabrics.” Kit designers and new stadium naming rights partners Macron have been working to include the new design within the shirts for next season. Macron research and development style manager Amedeo Iossa said: “The new elephant motif is one of a number of unique and exclusive elements that we have been working with the club to incorporate into the gamesets for next season. “We are very proud at Macron that the reintroduction of such an iconic symbol for the club has coincided with the beginning of our new partnership.” Full details of the new Bolton Wanderers kit will be announced in due course.

Unfortunately, it does look like that. A very poor image, and no red rose, and after all the lobbying of BWFC to include the red rose in our badge, they introduce something from a child's colouring book.

Actually, I can't say I love it but good for them for at least listening and bringing back the elephant. I don't think the red rosé would have been east to incorporate but what does seriously disappoint me is the colour. Hopefully the Spanish green and red which has absolutely no relevance to us is a first run and will be replaced with our blue, white and red. It's not our classy old badge but it's a step in the right direction and if we continue to make the point who knows what we might end up with? The main problem for me though is try as I might, I can't blame Dougie for it !!!

SECOND RATE how hard is it to come up with an elephant that looks something like an elephant but as regards the red and green and yellow, if you look at this badge we once had you see those were the colours. But i quite like this representation What would we say to something like this? ?

Perhaps we should start a campaign. Although it's possible someone else holds the copyright to it, but if the Wanderers had used it before it could well be them, but it incorporates the red rose, a decent elephant and if we have to have the round BWFC it has that as well and should be fairly simple to recreate

What an elephant mess of an idea, who on earth is going to say that it looks like an elephant - a few Italian bottles of red must have been behind this decision.
