Post subject: Error badges |
|
|
After chatting with someone on here last night about error in badges I thought I would share a couple I have in my collection. (Their could be more I haven't noticed).
First up is this badge from a club based in West Cumbria. I got this badge off Terry's Badges for my Cumbria collection, hours later while looking at and putting away what I had bought earlier in the day, I noticed it was spelt wrong. It's Cleator Moor Celtic not Cleater Moor Celtic
Next up is a badge that was produced by someone who got carried away. In the 2007-08, my beloved Carlisle United spent most of the season second in league one and had me and many others dreaming of a unlikely promotion. Carlisle been Carlisle, we then went on a poor run towards the end of the season and we finish in the play offs, played Leeds in semis (won 2-1 away then lost 2-0 at home) and never got promoted . So we never had that season in the Championship so this badge reflects on a season that never was.
If you have any error badges then post them on here, let us have a giggle at them .
Thanks for reading, kyle |

I've got a few, nearly all a case of people in too much of a rush, not checking what they are doing
I will load up photos when I can but to describe them, a Russian made one with "Chrystal" Palace on it
A badge retrospectively made for our solitary tie in Europe. The badge features the Palace and Trabsonspor crests. Unfortunately we played a different Turkish club, Samsunspor!!
And a badge featuring the teams in the play offs one year, but one of the 4 teams was wrong - they put Preston on it as the 4th club when it should have been Ipswich!
The above are genuine mistakes, which to be honest make me chuckle.
More annoying for me is retrospectively made 'historic' events badges, commemorating important games of the past, but using crests which are too modern for the game they commemorate.
A bit like the 1990's made Liverpool badge on here recently, which someone tried to palm off as a 1960s original - the Liverpool crest was too modern for the era it was representing |

Must admit Kyle, that line of yours had me chuckling out loud mate, very funny.
Yes I have a few "error" badges, in fact I actively collect them, especially the production error examples.
Sadly Duncan who produces Newport's badges loves them as well, so I don't get as many as I'd like.
What this thread has made me think of though, is perhaps we should have another designated thread for displaying our 'Worst ever Footy Memorabilia,' that we can share and laugh at.
They had a thread like that on one of the Liverpool forums I read and I was absolutely roaring with laughter all the way through it.
The best "terrible souvenirs" mainly seemed to emanate from Asia, including an "official" replica shirt where the club crest said ... "You'll Never Walk Again" ... and a pennant which boldly stated beneath the Liver Bird ... "Liverpool Football Clue."

Sticking to the subject matter, I had these Newport County "Stone Island" badges produced about twelve years ago.
Of the 100 badges minimum order, I requested 50 in amber (home) and 50 in white (away) colours.
When they arrived I was delighted to find one errant production mistake amongst them, where the bottom white part was accidentally coloured black.
So after flogging a few and donating half of them to the club shop, I was able to keep the unique "one-off" colour for myself ... chuffed that it was one of a kind ...

First one is the biggest pet peeve of all Crewe Alexandra fans ..... getting called Crewe AlexanDER. It happens way too often on Programmes and Tickets so it was no surprise when some ebay chancer had these made and got it wrong too. Good for a chuckle but being the cheap button pins they were not very collectable as an "error badge".
My favourite part of this one is that all they had to do was look at the correct spelling on the logo in the middle of the badge!! _________________ Crewe Alexandra FC Collector

Next one up is a lot more collectable. This badge from the 80s was the main badge produced in that era by the supporters club but one batch was sent with a missing E on Crewe. Apparently they were sent back to the manufacturer but they found their way onto the market anyway. _________________ Crewe Alexandra FC Collector

Your button badge reminds me of myself as a nipper Martin, when I thought there was a Scottish team called PATRICK Thistle. |

Post subject: Brentford Error Badge. |
|

I got this in 1975, at the time the club thought that they were founded in 1888, years later they found out that they were not founded until 1889.
A nice rare badge that always goes for a high price on Ebay. |

One badge I don't have in my collection.
I have a leather key fob with this enamel badge on though!
Yes, this badge was brought out in 1972. Just two years later, the late Graham Haynes discovered, in the newspaper archive, that it was actually in October 1889 that Brentford FC were founded.
A nice item. _________________ Not Forgotten; Allwright, Greechan, Hagan, Kennedy, Littler, Purver, Robotham, Saunders, Shields |

After having another look at my badges I've came across this.
I think it's supposed to say JPT (Jonstones Paint Trophy), not JPS. I've have had this badge since 2010 and I just noticed it now . |

Another two badges from that Cup run.
firstly this badge says 'JT CUP' instead of JP Trophy.
Next up isn't exactly a error but a clever marketing tactic, this badge came available in the club shop not long after we got to Wembley. You may notice it hasn't got a date or even a year on it. Next season when we got to Wembley again the club once again said a 'new' badge was on sale for the final... It was this exact badge. And I believe if we get to the JPT final again, this badge will once again make a appearance. |

Not an error badge, but a European seller recently listed a Newport collectible on eBay calling us ... "NEWPORT COUNTRY" ...
I'm wondering how long it might be before a badge calling us that turns up?! |

We see can now see what happens if they add a letter to County, let's hope they don't start taking any away! |

One of those times when badges were made early with an either / or outcome.
The ECWC Final in 1994 was Arsenal v Parma, but badges were also made for Arsenal v Benfica. |
