Back on the badge?

It's already back...

And in answer, nothing makes me cringe more than seeing never say die, NSD or the great escape.

I like 'never say die' it has historical relevance to the club and is hardly a bad quality for a club like ours to adopt. Agree that the 'Great Escape' needs to be put to bed and moved on from though.

Did you see that lad on Facebook page that got the great escape tattooed on his arm!

I'm getting a tattoo of that season in the seventies when we finished second bottom of the Football League and scored 30 odd goals.

He's got a tattoo for the rest of his life to commemorate the clubs worst season for 31 years in terms of points and League position :laugh:

yloop · **Posted:** Wed Jun 24, 2015 9:53 pm

Aye but some people have said it looks "pure mint" so I guess I'm out of touch.

If you got Pools tattooed across your arse using your ringpiece as one of the 'o's and then put a photo of it on that facebook page plenty of people would think it was mint.

If you got "Polos" it would definitely be mint!

I don't think this is a young lad either, I reckon the bloke is in his 50's and might have had a connection to the club!

Toxteth O'Grady · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2015 11:54 am

Hahaha. I hate it when people tell me I'll regret my tattoos when I get older but I'd say it genuinely applies to this one

Hartleblue · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:31 pm

He could of shaved his arm pit and washed his vest before taking the photo!

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:53 pm

I'm sat in the Tattooist now getting 14 (????) Re-Elections as a Back Piece....looks smart as fuck like!!!!

Compo · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2015 4:49 pm

He has Pools from cradle to grave on the other arm

Towns club on the badge for me, but I'd like a new badge anyway. Never been struck on the shipswheel with saw-ker ball

Compo · **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 3:56 pm

Is that a hangus tattoo above the great escape?

'never say die' makes us sound like The Goonies

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 7:23 pm

The town's club would be all right if I didn't quite feel so awkward about those whose town it isn't.
How do our yakker contingent feel?

I don't find myself giving a shit what the badge looks like or says.

Hartleblue · **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 8:41 pm

"Poolie till I die" badge for me!

yloop · **Posted:** Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:51 pm

But if we never say die would it not just be never say?

The trouble with this sort of simplistic message is it's stating the bleedin obvious. Of course it's the towns club, the clue's in the name. Underlining the fact seems pointless, we know who we are, we don't need some twee slogan to remind us.
While we're on the topic, is it only me who gets pissed off seeing homespun bits of philosophy signposted all over grounds that mean absolutely sod all. If I'm ever desperate enough for a bit of philosophy, I'll consult the works of a bona fide philospher and not the home spun bullshit of a clubs philosophers. It's footy, not a religion.

But that would rule out our new "Mes que un club" slogan.

(Actually it wouldn't. That slogan isn't philosophy; it was a round-about way of saying "Fuck off Franco, you Catalan-hating twat").

Awful badge in my opinion. Quickly cobbled together from two old Microsoft word clip art images. Bring back any of the old badges.

Agree. They can also bin those crap banners on the Mill House while they're at it.

The Town's Club is soooo parochial - I would bloody well hope that the new owners have plans to extend the club's fan base beyond the boundaries of the borough.

Today Peterlee, tomorrow the world!

Might I suggest instead of getting a tattoo of Jimmy Nail dressed as a fisherman skipping with a scarf, it would be more accurate to replace it with a tattoo of a lucky horse shoe with the phrase ...'Thank God Tranmere and Cheltenham were utter shite' written underneath.

I think we should hold a get together. We should invite all the people who are still celebrating the 'great escape', get them in a room together, and gas them.

i did see someone say that if we got in the play offs this season, he'd get a tattoo of Gary Coxall. We should invite him as well as a measure of prevention, in case it does happen...

Wommers · **Posted:** Mon Jun 29, 2015 11:24 pm

Ronnie looks like something out of Star Wars on that last tat.

For the record I've always preferred this badge, always though the ships wheel was a bit shit tbh

I can never understand people especially woman who voluntary deface their body with tattoos, it's not art ! I am 100% convinced they will regret it in years to come.

I like the way the scarf doesnt sag at all and is actually above his hands.

When did Moore wear a bin bag anyway?

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Tue Jun 30, 2015 11:00 am

What is that white disc on the left hand stripe of the above logo supposed to represent?

For the record, I totally hate intialisms so "HUFC" is taboo. "Pools" is way better.

Always thought it was a footy for some reason.
