Take a look at the new Poolie badge that's just been released. They're in meltdown over it. It is a crock of shite to be fair mind :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's a thing called google that allows you to search for more or less anything. Give that a go.

"At a meeting held at the Grammar School on Friday last - Mr Phillip Wood M.A., in the chair - it was resolved to form an Association Football Club for Darlington and neighbourhood. The opinions of those present were so unanimous as to the desirability of this step, that a committee was formed to complete the organisation of the club, and Mr Craven, 17, Garden Street, was appointed secretary pro tem." - The Northern Echo, Monday 23rd July 1883

It does seem odd that it references a stag, rather than something more aligned with 'Artlepools history.

A boot over a kitten, or a monkey on a noose, would surely be a more fitting image?

The badges look like something you'd find on a National Trust hiking trail.

I now understand the Hart in Hartlepool. The explanation by the spokesman is hilarious!

Or a crossbow arrow through a swan, or a hamster in a microwave, or a kid with his special uncle, or a crack pipe.

On a blue and white background of course.

wow that Hartlepooh mail article has some top flight corporate bullshit quoted within it!

West Hartlepooh Rugby have a stag on their crest and the council have a stag being mounted b ya rat so it isnt out of keeping but it is funny seeing the non league chimp chokers losing the plot!

The badge is the least of their worries... their new away kit is grey with lime green trim... then that gold badge on it... it looks like my bedroom floor after a night on the spirits :lol:

Yes if they're not careful they'll be doing a York City and getting relegated again. I think they'll find the Conference tough and I wouldn't be surprised if come the end of the season they're nearer the bottom than the top.

Yeh you're right Pete, if they're not careful with the design of the club badge they might get relegated.

I hope this post turns out to be up to your usually level of accuracy Pete :lol:
Hopefully we won't need to rely just on your forecasts

It's like their old badge. Looks ok to me. Better than George's revamp of ours

Our revamped badge was truely awful! I'm sure it was designed by a fan as part of a competition (done on the cheap) the template was the shield from GR's company logo.

I actually didn't mind the revamped DFC logo (not a patch on our current one though) however I think the disdain towards it stems from all the s*** that happened during the GR era. Once he left it was inevitable we would revert back to the original, and rightly so.

It's bad, although I think does look better on the backdrop of their blue shirts.

At least it has the team name in it, which is one of my problems with ours. It needs Darlington FC on it somewhere.
