I know from when i studied anthropology that the pygmy warriors would stand in the path of stampeding elephants with a spear, fall onto their backs and pierce the underbelly.

It has a very high mortality rate.

The ones that get lucky become warrior heroes.

And the unlucky ones are sold to tourists as ashtrays.

Anyone else intrigued as to why we've abandoned the first three years of our heritage? I know we renamed in '77 - new wave, and all that - but do our third-place league finishes not count because they're pre-Premier League (No, Richard Keys, I'm not asking you...)

We changed our name from Christ Church in 1877.

I don't know why those years aren't included though.

Yep, odd innit?

Nice little design, not sure it's a great brand though. Mind you, the Elephants are among the favourites at ACoN 2010...

It certainly seems that a new badge is in order though! Whether it's elephants or not, I'd say the majority of people who have commented on it aren't happy with our ribbons.

There's a number of badges from our history that could form the basis of a really smart badge design. All would be preferable to that red and blue tampon we have at the moment.

Every time my mom . . . sorry, mum . . . sees the logo she makes sure to point out its resemblance to a sperm cell.

She's still just mad that we sold Gary Speed.

Why don't they do the shirt with the big red polka dots on it?

I think they put them on in the belief that it made the players look bigger.

It'd be alright if you got rid of the elephant.

That's still got that dated lettering that (I, personally think) needs to go.

The elephant's the wrong way round and looks a bit camp.

Otherwise, bob on. :mrgreen:
