I picked a bad time to do jobs around the houses, missed both semis and both of my nominations knocked out by the narrowest of margins.
Naturally, I’m boycotting the final. Enjoy your poisoned chalice, large goat or poorly drawn elephant.0 -

A vote for Köln, a vote for Hennes IX and the eight wonderful goats that preceded him.
I've already been over this in detail, but here's a summary.
Köln have a goat, Hennes, as a real-life goatification of their logo. Hennes I was donated to the club from a circus, and the noble tradition continues on. The incumbent is Hennes IX, who has a mighty goat beard.
Here he is enjoying a meal. Mid game, because he's awesome.
His predecessor, Hennes VIII, escaped onto the pitch in 2014. Hilarity ensues. He's still alive btw, just retired. The club has generous pension entitlements for their goats.
If an elephant were to do the same, mass casualties ensue. You don't want that.
The towers are Cologne Cathedral, a big dark behemoth of a thing that stands out hugely.
Very distinctive and striking. The goat, Hennes, leaning against the cathedral, Cologne Cathedral. The logo is just swimming in deep symbolism.
Here it is projected onto Hoover Dam of all places. May I note that this very picture depicts a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD for the largest projection ever made. Does Chiangmai have that? Of course not.
Should be on Mount Rushmore tbh. Glorious.
As a short note, the font is better than the competition too. It's punchy and to the point.
As for Chiangmai, bah. As stated, the 2017 is pretentious and incorrect, as Thai dates don't work like that. It's 2563 there, not 2020. Truly a sellout logo for Western audiences.
Also they don't even know when they were founded.
Sort it out.
Can barely read the font. Not a good look.
The elephant is somewhat cool, but they're scared of mice. What will it do when confronted with a mighty goat?
Even more points dropped for mixing languages. Stick to one ffs. Inconsistency cannot be tolerated. To further this point, that crest isn't even 6 months old. Köln don't feel the need to advertise such crap, they're confident in themselves.
Chiangmai cannot be trusted. They didn't even win their group, and we expect this to be a winner?
I implore the Forum Game Tournaments community to vote for 1. FC Köln. A vote for Hennes, a vote for goat supremacy. The Marshall Islands of football. The GOAT of logos.

We arent voting for the goat, we are voting for the crest.
We arent voting for previous crests, we are voting for current ones.
Everyone vote however they wish, but if you need to try muddy the waters so much with the above, instead of talking about the crest alone, you are losing the moral battle. This is not the Marshall Islands of this tournament. Koln is a juggernaut of football compared to Changmai. They are as common as muck in recognition stakes.
You are trying to build up the crest by bringing in all this extraneous stuff. Circus goats? Like come on thats not relevant.
I vote for Changmai.
Its the better crest. The design is crisp and unique. Colour choices are excellent. Its not a giant gimmick. Its new, but why is that a crime. You think because the Koln one was redesigned as well detracts from it? No. Well Changmai being new shouldnt either.
We are voting for best crest not best real life goat. Changmai is the best crest. It looks best on a jersey, looks best online and looks best in this tournament.
Shoutout to the icon of the mountains & crops elegantly displayed in the crest too.
Its a stomper of a crest, its really well judged and if you look at these two crests from a design point of view and not a gimmick point of view, you know Changmai is a good vote. 0 -

Unless Baggly changes his avatar to the Chiangmai crest though, the commitment isn't really there
Done and done.0 -

More things that ARENT DISCUSSING THE CLUB CREST.
Whats the matter Skyline, afraid you cant win if you dont talk about everything that isnt the crest?
How is that not the crest? A crest with an achievement, remarkable.
Elephant clearly has no story, so you go with the argument that it's not relevant. Symbolism is very relevant.Done and done.

The dam has the achievement. If you put an image of anything on the dam it would be the biggest anything on a dam. More flash harry distraction tactics thats all.0 -
