I used to draw the *'Smiley'* on all my exercise books at school and loved the badge *then* however I don't think we need to be going back to this. I might be in the minority but I like the current badge. Perhaps a nostalgic kit could be bought from the club shop with the smiley but not the official kits IMO

The current badge is one of the ugliest in the country. It's worse than crap. Almost anything (i.e. apart from the previously proposed salute one) would be an upgrade.

The smiley badge is iconic and a design classic. I've never understood why the club hasn't utilised it more over the years particularly given the rather bland shield we've had for years now and I think was a product of the Ridsdale era. Having said that I may be a bit biased having had the admiral kits from the 70s including the yellow away kit until my mum gave them away to a charity shop when I went to uni!

I'm 32. Never saw us in the smiley, only saw one season with the rose. I'd absolutely love a smiley badge again. Never buy football shirts, can't remember the last one i bought, but if they did a proper Leeds yellow with some sort of smiley on it, I'd buy it full price instead of DHGate/China. Just to be one of the numbers and prove it sells.

Always remember the Jason Lee chants of 'He's got a pineapple on his head' and the very basic 'stupid haircut, stupid haircut oh-oh oh-oh' that Tony Daley faced whenever Aston Villa came to visit. I don't even recall his hair being that bad when compared to modern day barnets, but it was excuse enough for the Leeds fans.

The smiley badge was designed by Paul Trevillion in 1973 who is still alive at 90 years old, so I imagine he'll get a royalty or he might have signed off that design back then. He's an interesting artist who did lots of sports illustration.

The ‘Smiley badge’ for me came from the 70s era when we started to see a lot of American drama series on TV, such as cop dramas, based on the streets of New York City, where you always saw lots of graffiti on walls and specifically the Tube/Metro/Underground trains and train stations… so for me the Smiley badge seemed to be influenced by ‘Grafitti, bringing football and street art and culture’ together for the first time, which was unknown at the time, thus Leeds being the first to see that correlation.

Congrats Ed. Last season's kits were the best in years especially the home and my favourite the away. My 6 year old niece loved the pink. Doubt I'll be buying the yellow despite the extra lure of the smiley. If anyone from Adidas is reading can you get Ed in to do some originals stuff? The last efforts were lazy and bland with basically just the trefoil and the crest.....sort it out. Trefoil and 3 stripes.
