I have thought and hoped this is the case, knows overall it's better for the club so has stood back. Time will tell I suppose but still hope he's waiting in the wings in case FPP can't get it over the line.
Oh no! That Leeds thing was cheap looking and would look more appropriate in a cartoon. The old Juve badge was a classy affair. If we're talking corporatism, that new thing is the epitome of it.
I've always thought that it would look far better with just the shield part. Bin the scroll, lions and everything else that surrounds it and have Sunderland AFC written on the middle gold line that runs across it.
Not heard this before. I thought it was because the club didn't actually own the copyright to the ship badge and that played a part in the change iirc.
One of my claims to fame is that I helped select this ship badge - well narrow it down to the three that were presented to the SAFC board. The badge was designed by a school friends dad who was high up in the Art Dept of what would have then been Sunderland Polytechnic. He had about 20 designs, and anyone that went into his studio he asked which one they liked in order to gaugue opinion. This badge was my choice and I like to think I influenced him, but in reality I don't think he took much notice of a schoolboy.
I have probably played against you Vince, we won the Rose Bowl in 1985 & 1986 (dates might be a year out either way) and got through to the National finals 1987, beaten by Liverpool after extra time.
Nah. It will be positive. Prehab said at the start of the week that we should expect to hear something by the weekend. He has just posted again on the thread on the RTG...
