My Gas lamp was my attempt using the lamp from the 140 years logo/badge:





Just for fun...

Could we have one of a lion with Tyrone's head wiping its arse on whatever the Man City crest is - a £ sign on the moon or what have you?

I thought the other day that I'd give it five years before SHA redesign their crest and try to incorporate Bully the Bull from the Commonwealth Games. Bully, drinking in a pub up town, with a star for each year they've played in the top division (so about 15?)

A fag end for every ash tray in their trophy room, perhaps?

Pink lion playing pat-a-cake on an insipid shieldy thing surrounded by piss yellow with the rubbish motto beneath it? Not for me.
You do realise that was our crest when we won the cup in 1957?

It’s not a great graphic and looks much better in reality



As I’ve said before there’s a lot more to our club than the round badge, it doesn’t define us.

To be fair, I believe that in a 22 team division of who's been in the top division longest, they'd be filling a relegation place. Unlike Leeds, who'd be firmly in division 2

H&V should keep all these homebrew designs and create a Mahjong tile board game for Christmas !

When did this gas lamp origin story start? It was never a part of my upbringing in the faith.

It's been there all my time about our founders meeting under a lamp. It's only last few years it's become a thing the club have pushed though.

Edit: Thinking about it, I reckon it started with the club around our 140 year anniversary.

I can't remember which title it was but an old Villa history book had "From Gaslight to Glory" as one of its chapter titles which has always stuck in my head for some reason.

It was Aston, adjacent to Birmingham, in the late 19th century. There'd have been loads of places to meet that didn't involve standing outside in the cold. It's always struck me as a tad far-stretched. I mean, seeing how interpersonal remote conversation was more than a little limited at that time, where did they have the meeting to arrange the gaslit lamp meeting?

They were looking for Fanny by gaslight.

Anyone get the feeling that the end result will look like the car that Homer Simpson designed?

Like the 21st November nonsense. It's a myth with no factual evidence, in fact it's highly unlikely to have been that date even if only because it would have been a bit nippy standing round at night in late November.

Yep, these were Scottish, Methodist Victorian industrialists. It will have been oak panelled walls and a pot of horribly strong tea somewhere warm.

Brazilian villain wasn’t one of our founders was he?
