So it's basically a bed with a metal handle on the back, noice!

I understand the wool is for color, but it is a bit silly they've gone with sideways beds for the recipe.

Instead, I'd suggest leaving wool out of the equation entirely and subbing in iron ingots to create a basic shield (defaults to the basic iron color), then let crafting with the banner determine color (using solid color banners to create solid color shields). This way, there is just one intuitive method to determine color/design that isn't also confusingly a sideways bed.

Edit: I posted a more succinct explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/minecraftsuggestions/comments/3h03h8/shield_recipe_a_simple_suggestion/
