Some initial reaction from fans online was negative, with one saying they were "devastated" by the change, while another said they "love it".Northampton SaintsNorthampton Saints is the latest Premiership club to change its crestResponding to a club post on X, one fan said they would "never wear a shirt sporting this abomination and I can't imagine many true fans will".Another said: "I’ve never seen such a bland representation of such a magnificent club."A more positive fan conceded it was "going to take a while to get used to this" but praised "the fact it's based on our first-known badge".'Uncomfortable'The previous crest had been worn on player jerseys since the 1980s.The club said the new design took inspiration from the shirts worn when it was formed in 1880 and in surveys a "significant number" of people had said they were "open to change".Chief executive Mark Darbon said he understood "change may be uncomfortable" for some fans but believed "we must look forward to secure the continued relevance, appeal and sustainability of this brilliant club".Northampton SaintsIn 1884, the player jerseys were scarlet but featured an emblem thought to be inspired by the St James CrossBBC Radio Northampton sports editor Graham McKechnie said drawing on the club's history "should at least reassure supporters who were worried that the club was abandoning tradition".
