The new kits look great, really like seeing the stripes back. The badge redesign though... Not good at all. It looks amateurish, like a piece of fan art. A truly naff tagline on to an official crest dilutes the branding, uniqueness and identity to a level you'd expect from a street trader with a stall outside the ground. Really disappointed to see this move and hope that it is returned to the full title sooner (is it too late for this season?) rather than later. I completely agree with Scotty re: suitability on social media, etc. but absolutely not appropriate for a club crest.

It does seem a great pity that this step seems to have been taken without significant fan consultation. Maybe a lesson for the future.

Match report from the Wee County.

Thought it was a good second half. Some of the young players impressed and I think we have a stronger squad than some people have been given credit for. Jason brown , ali sutherland, rennie all impressed. My team of the day would be Esson Raven warren BROWN mcnaughton Tansey draper Rennie Sutherland polworth Boden Think mulreany looked good but should have passed or crossed quicker. Think brown was quality and might even push meekings hard. Any other thoughts out there.

You seem to be the one showing contempt for those who see this as a concern. No-one else is shouting you down or making puerile posts aimed to denigrate others' opinions (and making a very basic historical mistake in the process). FWIW, I don't think I was showing contempt for the use of an (already established) abbreviation of the club name, and I have absolutely no issue with it being used on fan merchandise, social media etc. I could care less in these places (and on here) whether we are called ICTFC, Inverness CT, Caley Thistle, Caley Jags, or Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC ... its all the same ... However, I do have an issue if it is to replace the official branding of the club on the crest which (apart from the first season) has been Inverness Caledonian Thistle FC. The badge can be tweaked to suit, it has already been done, and was kept within the original parameters, just made less complicated for manufacturers or printers to replicate. If we are to tweak the club name officially to the abbreviated version then that is a far larger change worthy of more discussion. Sorry I could not be in North East Scotland to support the youngsters on Saturday .... I was sitting in the emergency room (A&E) in Toronto with my two year old son who was feeling unwell. that's called #priorities !!! (he's fine now BTW) : PS - only one #keyboardwarrior in this thread and its not me ... The people who made the re-design and the officials of the club all know who I am and whilst we may agree or disagree on the odd thing we can (and do) respect each other. Even for those who dont know me, I post under my first name not a pseudonym and am never hard to find. Incidentally - as for the kit itself - from the pictures I have seen so far I think it looks like a cracker and once I am sure it fits CaleyD I will definitely be getting my hands on one (the size guide on JD website seems a little 'tight') ... May even get the vanilla one (with a small v ;) ) too .

Owain and the Welsh Squad epitomises what ICT is about - togetherness. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jun/07/owain-fon-williams-painting-wales-euro-2016 As a minimum we need to welcome him back with the Welsh National Anthem or a Johnny Cash song!
