Wexford Youths have been re-branded.

The Irish club are now Wexford FC and they even have a new crest. Wexford Youths were relegated from the Irish Premier Division last season, after losing the relegation/promotion play-off against Drogheda last November. They won the first leg 2-0, and went into the away leg in a commanding position. However, they lost the second leg of the tie 3-0, and will begin next season back in the First Division after just a single season in the top flight. They'll start the new season with a new look though. And a club crest that looks very similar to that of Italian club Torino. Here's the new crest: And here's the Torino crest: We probably shouldn't be too surprised that the club are taking inspiration from the Turin side. The club's chairman Mick Wallace, a politician representing Wexford, once wore a Torino jersey to parliament. https://twitter.com/Ghirarz/status/647520323601080320 The old crest was also similar to the Torino crest.
