Holmes_and_Watson Posted 1 August, 2022 Share Posted 1 August, 2022 Funereal black is not a good look for anyone with a bit of hope for the season ahead. The date in the black, gives it a headstone feel. Having "we march on" under it, just makes me think of shambling zombie movies. Mess. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some drug-crazed kid with a degree in naffology probably. It came with my season ticket for next season. My words to Mrs JBS "Ah Season Ticket is here, along with another bit of tat I can wear to stand out in the crowd as a fan of worth..........not!". At least the packaging is mostly recyclable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've cut down on the shit that used to come in the box at least. The idea for the box was pretty good too, making every one unique but then I partly thought "just chuck it an envelope and be done with it." Saying that, we'll look back on these with fond memories when we are using fingerprints to enter the stadium or having our retinas scanned at the turnstile!

Perhaps change the red and white scarf to a rainbow one and change the colours of the city flower to one white, one black and one brown to represent the diverse ethnic population of our fine city.

I'm very much against changing the badge usually, but if someone could do an artful homage of Derby Road pre-Premier League, perhaps incorporating the silhouette of a Ford Sierra, it could be our USP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe traditionally in art looking to the right is going forwards, looking to the left going back, but probably it was that someone just wanted it to look a bit different i.e. change for the sake of change and kidding people you are "pro-active". If it ain't bust, don't fix it. Ours has weathered well and is still doing just dandy. It looks good within a circle of lettering, within a shield or just straight on to a plain background. Would look better with a couple of gold stars above it but we will have to wait a few years for that to be justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
