Colin Farmery, chair of the 125th-anniversary steering group set up by the club, said: “I'm delighted with the special logo. The core club crest was redesigned only a few years ago, to pretty much universal satisfaction, and this design builds on that. It is simple, stylish, and instantly recognizable."
