Dr. Feelgood Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It seems that 'Service My Horse & Cart'* have agreed to back out for this one. Having the old badge, avec Hephalump, is neat & whilst having no issue with the BWFC badge of the last 50 years, I'd love to see the old one return. Oh, and "There are 1,923 shirts available ranging in sizes S to 6XL". SIX XL. Jeez. Â * copyright Traf. Bravo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the 'normal' stuff with just the little badge on looks class. The jacket Evatt was wearing other week was a belter.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If they could have just got a proper contract with Umbro to recreate those old kits like a few other clubs have done rather than those mock ones they've got. We'd have cleared thousands of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e2e4 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) we should do one with that italic wordmark from that granada quiz show that "we" never used, before the blue football logo we've had ever since. very illegibly blackletter fraktur font-like but rounded in places. iirc. i wish i could find it. looked like a post office barcode style the kit like a early 80s space movie spacesuit. retrofuturism. and play with a photo printed metalic effect football with rivets. lol Edited October 19, 2022 by e2e4 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" |ııı " which just looks like four lines at first glance, but is stylized to use the 'stem' from the b as part of the w . as i said it looks like an 'IMb' postal barcode , but i thought it looked retrofuture and cool. only place i ever saw it in use. maybe 'we' were gonna use it , but didnt in the end. if i find it ill post it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, wtf does that mean ? like summat set in the future using modern day items. why did star wars use vector graphics from a 1980s arcade game to show the demo on how to blow up the death star, when they have flying spaceships with manufactured gravity ? the princess leia hologram message is stored on an floppy disk, iirc. theres loadsa examples. The Jetsons is probably a good one. Metropolis (the fritz lang film from 1927) is probably full of it. a lot of it looks acronistic , but i didnt mean it like that, i meant it like how art deco or whatever looks good. the old braun appliances (shavers, radios, etc) have good style. if i could find it...   Edited October 20, 2022 by e2e4 yeah stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
