I’ve fancied a crack at redesigning my boyhood club, Sunderland’s crest for a while. With our relegation to League One, the piss poor couple seasons we’ve had along with Stuart Donald’s takeover and the optimistic outlook our new chairman brings, now seems a better time than any to give it a go.
Roker Park was my first flavour of live football as a child and as a former season ticket holder during the glorious Peter Reid era, I wanted to create something that epitomised Sunderland’s great history and the logo that embodied the passionate, working class history of our famously supported club.
