MK Dons fans mock their League One rivals AFC Wimbledon after they had their new crest reveal earlier this month to mark a famous win.
On May the 14th, the Wombles thought it was a fitting time to celebrate winning the FA Cup against Liverpool with a newly updated logo design with immediate effect.
Today marks our famous FA Cup win, May 14, 1988 ?
We couldn’t let such a historic event pass without a special announcement so, today, we are unveiling our new updated club crest – the start of an exciting, new era.

The club statement read: “It was the greatest day in our club’s history, when our proud badge made headlines around the world: May 14, 1988.
“That’s right – it’s exactly 32 years to the day since that spine-tingling moment when our captain Dave Beasant lifted the FA Cup high after our heroic triumph over Liverpool at Wembley.
“We couldn’t let such a historic event pass without a special announcement and so, today, we are unveiling our new updated club crest to help commemorate that wonderful day – and to also signal the start of an exciting, new era.
“After all, with a brand-new future ahead of us – in a brand-new home, in a brand-new stadium – it’s fair to say we’re on the crest of a wave right now!
“It’s not a radical redesign but it puts our name firmly where it’s always belonged…
“Right at the top!”

Just out of interest, how did a club formed in 2002 win the 1988 FA Cup?

You really don’t know where you started, and you ended, do you? I reckon that if you close your left eye, whilst standing on one leg, it might make more sense… pic.twitter.com/DxIveuhJ88

You need to update your Wikipedia page lads. Sharing misinformation. Says you were formed in 2002 on there

Feel like this logo was rushed through. So underwhelming imo. Could have been so much better.
