Did anyone ever work out if we'd flat-out stolen it from that American university team, or was it just a design that both institutions randomly decided to use? Sorry if I've asked this before, as I feel I may.

Could be worth putting in a transatlantic phone call if you really want rid of it that badly  :whistle

would do better with this IMO.

University of Wisconsin Yellowjackets. Seems like they use it for all their sports teams.

As has been pointed out many times, it's a fucking hornet. I'd still love to know how we ended up using it.

Edit: just googling about, and apparently there used to be a settlement called Alloa in Wisconsin, but it died out and nobody knows where it was anymore  :lol:

What do you guys think of the oldham badge? If I was to steal a design I'd copy that. It's probably my favourite English badge.

Fucking hell. When did they change to that?!  :o  Is this all due to that Lord Lyon heraldry bullshit?

Here's the one I remember:

It's actually exactly the same - they use several different versions, one of which is ours. Have a wee Google and you'll find it.

Bad news the club have it trademarked it and so have it legally protected https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmcase/page/Results/4/EU014011977.

Bad luck. I like the Wasp for what its worth. It gets a bad rep.

Only legally binding in the uk though ? Damn it

What we need to do is get a fucking ginormous banner made with the preffered (by everybody except a few) club badge and bring it to a game anyone in the banner trade ?

Jesus Christ, Brentford too?!

I was going to refer to their 'old badge', but apparently they've had millions. And it could have been worse...
