Return of the Rose: Bolton Wanderers specify for badge change?

A lot of Bolton fans remember the classic 1975 badge of which featured the circular BWFC emblem above the larger red Lancashire Rose. Inside 1997, with the opening with the Reebok Stadium, Bolton Wanderers introduced the brand new (and current) crest, placing it in prominent view on the side of the ground. Around 2002, the the 125th house warming of Bolton Wanderers prompted a big difference to the crest over the club's kits in a proceed to align the brand together with modernize the look in the Trotters.

Controversially, the green rose and banner ended up being changed to two lace (one red, one white) flowing with the ball-shaped BWFC. That badge is among the most club's identity over one more 11 years despite several outcries from supporters that it neglects the club's lengthy history.

Last season, following 22 years, Bolton Wanderers transferred their kit supplier coming from Reebok to adidas, who had purchased the sportswear company quite a while earlier. The supplier change ended up being prompted by Reebok easily exiting the football marketplace with Bolton Wanderers one of the last few teams to wear equipment by way of the local manufacturer. Players once sponsored as a result of Reebok were forced to find new deals as well with manufacturers like Iker Casillas moving to help Adidas and Thierry Henry switching to Puma.

The adidas change brought brand spanking new kits and apparel to Bolton Wanderers that much more reserved and additionally arguably classier than the previous few years of Reebok appliances. The move had largely reviewed well with the fans as Bolton shut off in a sublime whitened shirt with three white stripes running down your shoulders.

The details are even now blurry but they're quickly becoming clearer and once and for all murmurs (growing increasingly louder) of the fact that Trotters are seriously considering a go on to return the badge to a classic state. If the whispers should be believed, it seems that Bolton Wanderers are ditching the ribbons and moving to come back the rose to it's rightful place.

Whether or not Bolton Wanderers return to the classic badge or choose a modern take to the rose remains to make sure. We'll keep you updated as being the story progresses.
