Worst Club Badge


Recommended Posts

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.

What design company would put their name to our badge?? The guy on Facebook has done a better job messing about with the badge.

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.

His Dad is a painter, you'd have thought he could have tried a stencil first.

There was nothing bad with that badge! Compared to this bad boy:

A bloke's hand shaped like a gangster gun and two wee squirrels having a nibble on a baw! Random.

Weird that they're nibbling the baw when they're sitting on blue and white marshmallows.

:lol:

Seriously though, what is it meant to be? I'm genuinely intrigued.

With acknowedgement to Johnston Scott who wrote in the Raith Rovers programme, 23/10/10.

Robert Ferguson of Raith inheirited the estates of Novar in Ross -shire upon the deaths of his wife's brothers who died in service in India.

The Rgt Hon Lt Col Rbt Ferguson Munro was later to become Lord Lieutenant of Fife.

He went on to become the 6th Governor General of Austrailia.

He was raised to the peerage as Viscount Novar, of Raith in the County of Fife and of Novar in the County of of Ross.

The belt buckle device held by the lion on the Rovers crest is from the Ferguson Arms crest and is a doff of the cap to Lord Ferguson Munro the 1st Hon Pres of Raith Rovers F.C.

I'm obviously biased but I really think ours is a cracker with the harp, ship and castle.
