I'm not usually a fan of gradients but this works very well.

Martin neither am I, but in this instance I did not want to change the crest to much, just fresh up on the N font, this logo has not changed much throughout and no need to do drastic changes in my opinion. But I did few other Ideas with lettering around the crests among others, but Napoli logo is so established that I feel there is no need for that.
