The Beautiful Badge tells the fascinating story behind the UK's
football club badges, from 1860s hand-embroidered symbols on
home-knitted jerseys to today's multi-million pound brands. The
book not only covers hammers, cannon and Liver birds but also
reveals the link between Peterhead FC and Viz comic; which TV
celebrity designed Aldershot Town FC's badge; and whose GBP10
doodle became the opposition's badge. Some clubs have sported ten
or more different badges over the decades, ranging from their
town's coat of arms to cartoon insects and initials. Promotion,
moving to a new stadium or an owner with controversial views often
results in a new badge. The book plots the influence of fashion,
technology and fans, and investigates the tensions between clubs
and supporters over changes to their beloved badge. Do you know why
your club's badge looks the way it does? The Beautiful Badge is
essential reading for football enthusiasts, historians, designers
and anyone who enjoys putting their feet up in the boot room.
