Barcelona Proposes New Crest Design for Next Season

Barcelona says it plans to redesign the club's emblem for the start of next season.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) – Barcelona says it plans to redesign the club's emblem for the start of next season.

The most significant change would be the removal of the letters ''FCB,'' standing for Futbol Club Barcelona, which have been at the center of the design for more than 100 years.

The current emblem was introduced in 2002.

The updated version must be approved in a membership vote on Oct. 20. It would be the 11th design of the emblem in the 119-year history of the Spanish club.
