please log in to view this image I think this is class, only just found it. Question,,,,,,,is that Bobby Kerr on the left? and Billy Hughes on the right?
Funnily enough, Bill, I was looking at it today. Have a book bout our greatest games and there it was. love everything bout us, marra x
By "Found " do yo not mean made up!...its about as convincing as mary poppins having an affair with that bloke in drag from the bbc!
Good find, looks like one of 'those things'(technical term like) you get on handpull beer pumps (maybe it was a Vaux laddie that did it for them, then again, maybe not)
it also says on wikki that you are a gullable tossa...go figure!wiki ffs that fountain of authority! its the style thats wrong ...no border i would put money on it being a pub sign from the fifties -seventies which some numpty has put on wiki and some idiots believe it..........if wiki is your only source then " i do not believe it"

Bill ~ Chimera is one of your own. Nearly as old as you. Do yourself a favaour and put your keyboard away for the night.
According to tinyeye there is only 1 of those images on the whole of the net, and thats the one on wikipedia, but they do have a cached one that was on safc.combut its not there anymore, and the page it links to doesnt exist either. http://www.tineye.com/search/16107ecb24f807e3a061e1f5b364ad26eda86c22/?pluginver=firefox-1.1 So it could be the real deal, and remember, stripes were horizontal back in those days, but they were still called stripes, not hoops.
without getting into name calling.....try http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Sunderland/Sunderland.htm....the above picture is to like a picture ,with high res and not of the style of the day 1890s and i dont think we played in hoops(might be wrong)....badges of the day were simple Embroidery and not a print on fabric with no border....so if wiki is the only source i am very sceptical of its validity but unlikr some i welcome anybody who can prove my opinion wrong.....
to be honest, i'd be happy for that to be fake. one of the worst badges i've ever seen! if you were talking about us pre-97 then thats a different story!
perry mason would call this hearsay......i have several books on safc history and none of them have this badge and i have never seen it before.......and to be honest it as ive said before it looks fake so over to bonny to open his book and post the isbn number and title.......i will trace it and follow it up.....but i am willing to put money on the fact that no safc player has ever worn this badge on his shirt...........it simply does not look right for the time it depicts two blokes in red and white hoops holding a picture of sombody in hoops playing football....its terrible and looks made up...please prove me wrong using testable evidence not hearsay.
Pardon me if I'm wrong but I thought that we used to wear the Sunderland crest with the sextant and nil desperandum and all that, as per the one on the bridge.
http://thebeautifulhistory.wordpress.com/clubs/sunderland/ http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Sunderland/Sunderland.htm blind corner try these two links.....we havent had that many badges so they are all on here......if the above one is not fake i would like to know when we wore it? i pessonally like the cat badge and the blue sea ship design.We dont build ships anymore but neither do arse make cannons anymore.....We have a proud shipbuilding history and sunderland was built on the construction of ships and this should be represented on our badge only a pretencious knob like murrey could produce a badge with no reference to shipbuilding.
I also liked the Ship badge, my son had it tattooed on his arm, and was gutted when the badge was changed. Having said that, he is as proud as punch all the same, especially when on his holls, and somebody recognises the badge, and makes nice comments, strangely enough mostly folks from Northern Ireland. But now that Ive started the ball rolling, will have to research this a lot more. just to put it to bed so to so to speak.
I read about that crest somewhere awhile back (sorry can't remember where) and I seem to recall it was the club crest but hung outside the ground and wasn't worn on a shirt (was doing this to research a tattoo). Talking about SAFE tattoos who has 1and where I'm thinking of getting the 3crests shown on mugs and hats done at the top of my back.
Thanks for that Chimera,very interesting, the 1937 Cup Final was the one I had in mind, and I agree about the shipbuilding heritage, how can they leave that out and still use a symbol of the mining industry , surely both industries played a huge part in our history.
