dannymack Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 It looks shit. The new one is much better. One of the few things pieman got right. Deeply offended by that comment PF. When that crest first appeared on the kit in 1977 it was iconic and everyone loved it, did you? Chris Robinson is a **** for suggesting numerous ideas.... re-naming the commercial side of the club WTF ? Re-naming the Willie Bauld Suite, changing the club crest after 40 years. I may not like change but i would guarantee HE was the ONLY one who even thought about changing the crest, feckin attention seeker !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Dens that day and 25 years on I am living in the SW and only get to 2/3 games a season, thus sacrificing a fortnight in the sun. So based on your theory how much of a fan does that make me?

londonjambo Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Just to bring things back to the original point of the thread Two of the crests of your five are actually the same crest - the traditional crest with HMFC in gothic script. The rather more garishly brightly coloured one is just the same crest tarted up but I'm not sure it was ever officially changed to that crest. It certainly appeared in those garish colours in various publications in the 70's. A wee bit of information on the two crests used for the masthead of eighteen74 (still available from all good shops and direct from me by the way ) The one on the left is taken from about 1910 and is also the crest which appears in the mosaic at the entrance to Tynecastle (as shown on p.16 of Issue 3) The one on the right - the stylised HMFC - is actually taken from the early 1950's but was still being used up to the 1970's as well - pretty sure there are pics of the Ajax style strips from 1972 which have that logo on the front.

john brownlee Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I in my youth spent many a month designing a new badge for the Tollcross Hearts but in the end thanks to the wisdom of andy ried and the coooomitee we kept the originals, but I Often wondered where they are or which bin they were chucked in.

Francis Albert Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 The one on the left was still being used in the 60s as well I found out recently. A bit odd I thought. That struck me as odd too. Was it the badge when Willie made his debut? I thought the "olde englishe tea shoppe" one (to quote CPR) was a fifties innovation. Anyway the current badge is better than any of the old ones. Take out the dot between the H and M and the underline under HMFC and it would be perfect. And maybe a deeper maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
