Wanderers' Badge

[a1]

I seem to remember Gartside being challenged over the badge some time ago, but he was adamant that there would be no change, due to its "established international brand recognition level" or some similar marketing twaddle.

Hopefully he'll be more receptive to the idea now, seeing that he's got some PR ground to make up following his choice of the Megson-era!

they should change it to that green one from the early 80s that one no-one remembers but everyone knows about.

if you squinted it looked like "bu" which is similar to boo, so its kinda related to somethin' recent.

they could manufacture bedsheets with it on , save some time.

:/

Stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert, stuck record alert,

Give it a rest, Megson got shite because he was shite and a lot of our football was in the main shite! Thats why the size of disgruntled fans was as big!
You gonna come back and thank us if the football and everything about the club improves now? thought not! in your own way your a little boo! the fans yourself ain't you?
Boooooooooooooooooooo!

I sense so much anger here.

As someone not of these here parts, can someone explain the significance of the elephant?

[Lord Kangana]

It means "step away from the whisky bottle".

The elephant signifies all that is evil and wrong. Only Hannibal can love elephants. And he was in the A-Team, before becoming a serial killer. So stay away from him.

Ribbons signify happiness and joy - you get ribbons at parties, not elephants.

Ribbons - good.

Elephants - bad.

Keep that in mind, and it'll all be clear. No good can ever come from elephants.

There you go! (And that''s why Coventry's got elephants too).

Cheers. So why does Mercia have elephants?

[Puskas]

Does anybody have any good ways of killing an elephant?

Or am I on the wrong message board?

All here.

But don't ask me why Coventry has a "cat-a-mountain" on its coat of arms as well - I'm losing the will to live!

Coventry's cat-a-mountain is nicked from the family coat of arms of Edward, the Black Prince, Duke of The East Midlands, or summat, who apparently ruled Coventry with his iron-gauntleted fist. Isn't google great?

Why he had a cat-a-mountain on his coat of arms, feck knows. Maybe he liked shagging them.

[TANGODANCER]

Elephants are Bolton. Our town coat of arms has an elephant. Wanderers are Bolton (which was here long, long before even they were.) Born and bred in Bolton, proud of Bolton, proud of our elephant. Simple. And Manchester is in Lancashire, whether they like it or not.

Oh, and I'm putting that KD sweatshirt on my wish-list and I'll be proud to tell folks what it signifies.

The latter, certainly not. The former may be a George Orwell reference...

[mofgimmers]

I'm still quite taken with it.

It'd look good in navy on a new home shirt (which, with any luck, will be retro and quite simple a la Burnley and Villa's away kit).

Add a BWFC above it in the same typeface as the 1877 above the elephant and I think there's a pretty cool badge for us there.

[americantrotter]

I have to say, it's the best looking thing I've seen. Yes Please Mr. Gartside.

I can help you with that. But first, you have to turn round and face the bloke in the row behind you and then...
