While I understand that the crest is the club's intellectual property, it is pretty clear Ian or anyone else at the offside is not reaping huge profits from the use of the crests. Furthermore, I would think a club that struggles to fill their grounds to 50% capacity would be open to trying expand their fan base. You would think that a blog like the offside that is held in such high regard and widely read would be a good way to do this. Clubs like Man U, Chelsea, and even Celtic and Rangers might not have to worry about "brand recognition", but I would think that smaller clubs like Caley would jump at the chance to get more recognition internationally.

It might be a good idea over the summer though for us all to start designing the crests we'd rather use. At least untill, you know they try and stop us using the club names too. Thumbs down for ICT.
