I'm almost certain he was was working his way across the A to Z of Scottish fitba clubs and forcing them to change their official crests. How far did he get? I remember Airdrie United being targeted. Ayr United got targeted and there was a fans who led a campaign saying this was ridiculous. Some cnut grassed up Formartine as well. Hibs changed their badge in the 1980s because the previous one had a crown design. Looking at some of their club badges I get the feeling the English equivalent of the LL isn't so bothered. There's some rule about not using a shield design unless agreed and registered ("matriculated"). Queens Park were able to matriculate their design in 1921 and Hibs also have. If you're designing a football club badge then a round design like a clan badge is fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different jurisdiction, but plenty of clubs down south have changed their badge over the decades; I always figured that was a poorly-advised attempt at modernisation, but I wonder if England has similar archaic rules. An interesting thing mentioned in that Herald article is that they usually only take action when there's been a complaint about possible infringement, with the implication that fans of rival clubs are dobbing each other in for the lulz. What a bunch of c***s. This is right, they only act when it’s flagged up to them. After Airdrie were forced to change their badge a bitter Airdrie fan grassed on Ayr. They even posted a screenshot of their complaint to some Airdrie fans group on Facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the badge in the 1980s... And the 90s cartoon effort... Although in a reflection of the improvements on the pitch in that decade the squirrels appear to be smiling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dumped through the door and I remember thinking "ignorant racist twats." I was doing higher history at the time so spotted it as soon as I saw it. Think they must have used those leaflets for Holyrood elections as well because they didn't stand in Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock in 2010 to have put out leaflets.

Not much sheltering there though, too open to the elements and no seating. Poor effort and should be demolished. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
