Edelman said teams didn’t have badges as the embroidery and leeds were the first to in the late 1960s. Badges on Leeds United going back to 1934. They then put a badge which was an owl on in mid sixties. They then had the most successful spell in their history but the superstitious Revie ditched it as he thought birds were a sign of bad luck.

Simple marketing, my dear chap. I recall the 4 Ps, Price, Place, Product, Promotion....I'm guessing the lads and lasses at City failed the test. I recently met the former Commercial Manager who had a few things to say...But my lips are sealed.

They are hardly going to drop their support of Man Utd ,Liverpool and Arsenal because we have a Tigers head on the shirt .

Very true...But lets assume we have a similar start to the 2008/09 season...Unlikely, but you never know. I guess the demand for shirts would go up, but with no incentive to buy one, they won't.

I could be wrong but I think competitive football was more or less scrapped during the war years?

My Granny's younger brother was a first team regular at Ibrox but went to War alongside 10 or 11 others from the team between 39-45..

This is correct.

There were also travel restrictions for a lot of the war era, preventing longer range fixtures and very much doubt that kits were intentionally made without badges, as there was clothing rationing, so shirts from previous seasons would have been recycled.

Does every club have a crest now ?

Still not willing to admit your statement was wrong and indulging in deflection instead?

The argument was that the writing on the shirt is an afront to our history because we have a history of always have a Tigers head on the shirt !
Is that correct ?
Of which there is plenty of evidence that it isn't the case .
We are not in the 80s anymore where you can argue the case til you are blue in the face that we always have due to online images and videos .
Hull City never really had an history of constantly having a Tigers head on said shirt .
Even the writing HCAFC may have been a cost issue .
