Atletico Madrid have acted quickly to open up a referendum on the current club’s badge.
Last Friday there was a consultory vote on the design of the new badge, established in 2016, as to whether there would be interest in returning to the previous design. That received 44% approval, and afterwards chief shareholders Miguel Angel Gil Marin and Enrique Cerezo revealed that there would be vote as to whether to change back to the former design.

This Wednesday voting was opened for Atletico Madrid members to vote on whether the old badge should return, the results of which will be respected by the Atletico Madrid board.
‘The badge is not to be touched’ has been a long-running campaign and protest run by Atletico fans and ultras, after they were not consulted on the initial change, which looks as if it could culminate in successful action. Fans have until Friday to cast their vote.
💣🚨| BREAKING: Socios who do not vote will not have any influence at all. Only those who vote will be taken into account.
