I found myself noting this week that Calmac ferries have their lion facing both left and right on their ships.


Do you mean port and starboard?

Looks pretty good out in the wild. This was something on Twitter, I thought it looked great.

I hope there's a forum of hardcore ferry fanciers absolutely raging.

With and without effing star:


Where are they going to put the star when we win it again? It'll look odd with two stars. What if we go on a run and win it five or six times?

We’d have an elliptical badge with the lion juggling the stars

Taking ages to update the media and shit with our new crest.

Anyway I was looking on the Internet and I noticed that Inter used to shoehorn a star into their badge before we did.



But in 2008 they changed it and got rid. Hopefully we'll see sense in about ten years.

They kept the star for another 7 years but on top of the crest. Don't think the star is related to their European Cup/CL wins but rather that in Italy you're allowed a gold star for 10 Scudetti. To date they've won 19 titles so can't put two stars on their shirt till they win their 20th.

Yeah, it's just the fact they put it inside whole being allowed to have it outside. They actually had the star above the crest while having the star inside as well for a bit. So two stars for one accomplishment.

Like the new badge. One thing that's confused me in the debate about the lion looking forward/backward though... doesn't it depend where he's going? If he's going the post office up the road he's now facing forwards, if he's going the pictures down the road, he's now facing backwards?

I guess he wouldn't be rampant if he was going to the pictures.
