Tottenham's progress in the last few years has been admirable. Whilst we still expect even more of the team week in week out, you can't complain too much about the significant steps we've made as a club in the last 5-10 years. Our rise has been steady but progressive (as it should be) and with future stadium developments on the horizon, it's an exciting time to be following Spurs, so as a club we have every reason to look forward.
However, despite how proud we are of our traditions and achievements since 1882, is it not time we focus on building the Tottenham Hotspur brand to better reflect our rising status in world football? I'm not suggesting a transformation to the extremity that was mooted by Cardiff City recently. There's no way that we're going to become the Tottenham Titans or anything ridiculous. What I'm suggesting is a very subtle, but symbolic change to our existing club badge.
Has anyone ever noticed how the Tottenham cockerel seems to be looking backwards? Would it not better reflect our ambition if it were to be looking the other way? Should we not be building on our strong historical foundations rather than reflecting on them?
The archetypal Spurs follower tends to be extremely pessimistic off the back of perennial failure over the last couple of decades. So could this subtle change to the club crest represent a transition in the attitude of the club and its supporters?
This is just something that's often been on my mind, I'm curious as to what other fans would think. Please don't take it too seriously.
