Hank Scorpio Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 So, when did Alloa change their badge to this?!? To be fair, Rovers 'is hardly superb, a lion holding a computer mouse. What's the story behind the Dumbarton's? Been a long pre-season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilky1878 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Alloa have had it a while now, it is well and truly horrible and looks like something a youth team would wear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our badge is wonderful, the elephant symbolises the rock which apparently with the correct amount of acid taken resembles Nellie. Never taken the correct type so it looks like a rock to me but the badge looks pretty awesome. Alloa's is not only pretty rotten it's also used in a Uni in America I think, sure someone posted on here a wee while ago about it. I quite like QOS badge, simple yet classy and old fashioned, outwith our league Ayr and East Fife have quite nice badges. Always like a Saltire on a badge.

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 As soon as I read the title of this thread I instantly thought of Alloa. I really like their old badge but that new fangled monstrosity is utterly horrible. What was the reason for changing the old one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor147 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Remember this guy after the Rovers changed their badge? Football fan Norman Brindley took team loyalty tat-too far when he had his heroes' badge emblazoned across his heart. Raith Rovers-daft Norman got the needle just days later when the club announced they were changing their crest. Norman, 22, had the Rovers badge tattooed on his heart so he could feel close to the team while he was at sea with the Royal Navy. But within a few days the club decided to change their logo for the first time in 10 years. Distraught Norman, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, found it hard to see the point, but said: "I suppose it's just one of those things." He spent an agonising 90 minutes under the needle to have the crest inked on to his skin. And Norman, left, swears he wouldn't go through it again. He said: "The crest will probably change every few years now and I don't fancy 15 tattoos of Rovers badges all over me. Anyway it still says Raith Rovers on it and that's what is important." There's only one consolation for Norman, who's been going to Raith Rovers games since he was three - he's won a special guest invitation from club boss Jimmy Nichol for next week's match against Stirling Albion. Norman had the adventurous tattoo done while on leave in Portsmouth after hearing of other sailors with Manchester United and Liverpool crests on their skin. He added: "It's another way of getting the Rovers world-wide fame. I know they won't get it the way they play." The tattoo was copied from the badge on a Raith Rovers shirt Norman takes with him everywhere. Even nis dad wears the club crest on a gold chain around his neck.

CowdenConvert Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Didn't some guy from Barnsley have the same thing happen to him years ago? He'd had the badge cover his whole back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viewed from Levengrove Park, a vague elephant shape can be seen. Alcohol and/or drugs help though. Natural erosion has occurred to be fair, to the tusks.

Waspie Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I seem to recall that Alloa had the badge designed so, quite incredibly, it is more likely that the Americans stole the monstrosity from us rather than vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
