If not for shit like the merc banner I'd love to have more heraldic shit.
what is wrong with the merc banner, its better than 99% of the stuff out thereIt's a collection of a bunch of terrible try hard tough guy symbols out there. A plate armour with a plate skull(?), wings, swords, spikes and a fucking crown of thorns? The logo itself is completely tasteless and very unfit for a banner which is then poorly plastered on a black field. I like you guys as a clan and I think some of the hate you get is misplaced, but I would never join Mercs simply because I had to carry that piece of shit around.

Now of course there are terrible banners around, especially on NA, but when talking clans with a serious profile then Mercs has the worst banner.

No! This look is amazing and historically accurate. This was not a western heater shield, like the ones you are showing. It was a common shield used by Byzantine infantry. The Triangle Shield must be 4 shield skill so I can actually use it though. Best looking shield in the game with the Dark Blue Heavy Norman being a close second.

- Grey order got a dark/white banner with the message of balance.Wouldn't say Grey Order has a clear cut theme but they thought of something which looks good. Surely Mercs should be able to come up with something relating to being a mercenary, or the blood and gold thing. It doesn't even have to be complex or incredibly deep at all. It should be tasteful though and preferably two-dimensional and not clogged up with all kinds of details which do not work on the small banner size. You should be able to easily design something that fits on shields and armours and fits in a medieval setting, while also relating to your theme. Hell I liked the red and white banner with the swords you had back from Native better.
