Here are some views by Owls fans online following the announcement:

Happy...

@SteveHutton79 - New #swfc badge looks great. Fantastic idea to celebrate club's 150th anniversary by using traditional design.

@DonAlfieGarnett - Absolutely buzzing for the new badge! #swfc #olderbiggerbetter

@Fox1990Fox - I like the new crest, traditional, plus it's in line with our 150th aniversary! #swfc

@lukeMrawlings - Love the new badge, could've been worse Chansiri could've pulled a Cardiff. #swfc

@MightyWednesday - Loving the Yorkshire symbol on the new badge! Think it puts across our dominance in Yorkshire perfectly!

@26LR179 - #swfc "new" badge is just the old badge from 50s-60s,but i like it. Needs "150 years of football" embroidering somewhere though.

@lauracosta_13 - New crest is beautiful. As if I need another reason to buy more merchandise from the online club store. haha #swfc

@stevecraine - Happy with the crest, classy and retro. DC showing respect to clubs history in what he's picked #swfc

@danhennell - I'll miss the 70's owl I grew up with but not going to lie I really like the original '56 crest, hope the new kit does it justice #swfc

Not so happy...

@conorbrown19 - That new badge is horrendous #Swfc

@lucyfairbank - Absolutely hate the new owls crest #why #swfc

@Maplo16 - Unpopular opinion but I'm not keen on the 'new' old crest. But the majority seem pleased with the change

@JoeWebb5 - Hi @swfc who did you take advice from to choose that badge? #swfc #newbadge #rubbish

@Cboy1874 - Do not like the new Wednesday badge at all #swfc

@garethkinneavy - Sorry but that is terrible! Should 100% keep it as it is. Shocking

Not bothered...

@Fxrestieri - Not even going to complain, it isn't new really is it #swfc

@D4NI3LRyan - Chansiri is the reason we are where we are now, the crest is still blue & white and as long as the players give 100% that'll do me

@JamieSmith1911 - I don't care what the badge looks like as long as the players play for club it represents.

@CraigoBuzz - I don't hate the new/old crest but I don't love it either. I was happy with the existing one but at least it means something to us

@Majortarantino - He bought Forestieri for our team. He can do whatever the **** he wants to the badge

@mattywynne - Not too sure how fussed I am about a badge design so long as every single player gives 100% for it!
