    Someone has dedicated a website to finding flaws in badges from the 48 teams in League 1 and 2.

    That's really, really sad.

    The site isn't dedicated to that. I appreciate you taking the time though, even though you may not have like it. Cheers

    what is it dedicated to? Being "hilariously" controversial?

    I mean, why League 1 & 2 badges? Is there any badge for any sports club anywhere in the world in any sport that the same style couldn't be applied to?

    Or is just typical big club supporter mentality that everything to do with other clubs is inherently shit, and despite many of those badges being better than the badges of a lot of top clubs, being in leagues 1 & 2 just makes them shit anyway?


    mind you, I agree about Swindon.

    Couple of points re Shrewsbury badge.

    The ground was called Gay MeadOW (the name dates back several hundred years to before the days when "Gay" took on its present connoitations)

    That badge is actually the symbol of the loggerheads which are leopards not lions. It's also the badge of our town and didn't come out of the head of some overpaid, coke-addled ad man as you evidently assumed it did.

    A cursory glance at these websites: www.shrewsburytown.co.uk, www.goodbyegaymeadow.com, would have revealed that a) we no longer use that badge and b) we don't play at Gay Meadow anymore.

    So, basically, do some research next time you want to write something for your distinctly unfunny blog.

    (and before you start, yes, our new badge is a lion. Evidently, neither the board of directors nor the club's mascot has a better knowledge of the history of our town than you. Sigh)

    I think if he had researched them, and written from a point of knowledge it would have been somewhat better. Leeds fans protested when the badge was changed from the Yorkshire Rose, largely due to copywriting difficulties with the old one.

    The guys lives in feckin America, if he's lived their all his life then he's a pretend Tottenham supporter, if he's moved over there then all the big flashy lights must have got to his head. More passion in the little finger of league 1 + 2 fans than in glory supporting americans.

    kind of funny that there's a comments section on that page, and he's gone to the trouble of quoting me on his page to say just how much he doesn't care about my comments.

    I think you've confused hate with pity. So much effort for so little reward.

    Say what you want about the 'tricky tree' badge but it has been worn by Johnny McGovern while hoisting the European Cup twice. In case your math is a little rusty, that would be twice more than your lot have lifted it. A tree to signify Forest makes a hell of a lot better sense than an anorexic swan standing on top of a football.

    Erm... I was born in Leeds, grew up in Leeds and have had a season ticket since I was nine. Would the bricks be thrown by the same teenagers who got their heads kicked in in Leeds city centre before our last meeting? Prick.
