Hammers to change badge

Images have emerged of contractors changing the West Ham badge at the London Stadium.

No, the club are not about to put the Boleyn castle back or the crest or remove the word London, the change is much more subtle than that.

The Gold Hammers are changing to white as as image below shows

The most-recent change to the crest before this one came in summer 2016, with a new shape based on the bow of HMS Warrior, the first armour-plated, iron-hulled warship built and launched at Thames Ironworks in 1860. The claret and blue colours remained prominent, with a new, modern, digital-friendly typeface and the addition of the word ‘London’  in reference to both the Club’s move to the Olympic Stadium on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Claret and Hugh understand the new West Ham home kit for season 2020/2021 will retain the previous badge with the Gold hammers.

That kit is due to be revealed next week.
