Straight forward query really. Spurs have a home and away kit version. I find it hard to believe they are the only club who do. Do any of you have any other examples of teams with more than 1 version?
I have the blue one but still currently on the look out for a white one, i think it is probably the more common of the two but i've been outbid a few times.

With Man Utd they only have a home version, and I can’t say I’ve seen any home and away versions for other clubs. You don’t see this type come up for sale much, more the bigger shirt coffer badges. |

It's not a badge that comes up that often, I've had a couple in my time but I don't recall a team with two colours. Are both Spurs badges marked as Coffer? |

Lovely badges, I'm always jealous that Coffer never did any enamel badges for Newport County, only inserts.
We've always been an unfashionable club sadly.
I've always loved all of the Coffer souvenirs, they were the dog's whatsits when I was a lad. I'd go into the local sports shop with eyes like saucers, and stay there for ages annoying the lady who ran it admiring them all. _________________ NEWPORT COUNTY & GENERAL FOOTY BADGES:

I suppose you mean no Newport badges other than the club crest? Only saying as I have a Coffer Northampton Newport club crest that I picked up at Somerton Park in 1988. |

Yes, of course, you're quite right Ron, I'd overlooked that.
I did mean all those lovely 1970s designs really, but you are correct nonetheless, they did issue that crest and I had forgotten that.

Cheers for the response. I wasn't trying to be a smart arse as I know what you mean about the other Coffer badges from the 70's and 80's. Many of my modern badges have left my collection via eBay, but the Coffers remain and still occasionally get added to! |

No, I didn't think for a second you were buddy, I'm glad you pointed that out. I always tend to think of that badge as one of the many club-issued crests, and forget that it is indeed Coffer.
There were two versions of it too - a fairly common one with black inner & amber outer, and a far scarcer one with reverse colours.
These days, with so many badges issued and at such a breathtaking rate, I doubt we'll ever see anyone as widely loved & revered as Coffer again. No wonder modern day collectors adore them so.

I have the top one and it was, in the absence of eBay, one that I felt really pleased to get hold of. It was a couple of weeks before you went out of the league and it was a nice lady in the reception who found one in a drawer. Given that I wanted to do Newport in my quest for the 92, leaving it as late meant that I almost missed out on the badge! |

Yes, they were dark days buddy. I remember them all too well sadly.
Very nice story though mate.
There was also a re-make of that Coffer badge in 2005 ...

The remake is a beautiful badge just on it's own, probably from the coffer mold.
Amazing you could still get such a good quality, beautiful badge as little as 15 years ago compared to the quality on offer now. |

Cheers Gresty. In fairness, the two Coffer badges are nicer in the flesh, but for some reason my temperamental scanner was much harsher with those two than the remake. _________________ NEWPORT COUNTY & GENERAL FOOTY BADGES:

AKP badges are still about making top drawer badges, a beacon of hope in a mass produced, glass fronted, sell it in a packet world of absolute worthless tat |

I haven't seen much produced by And for a while, is he still involved in Stoke matchday badges? |

Wiggy, they are both stunning badges, it was more the point the quality available as little as 15 years ago compared to what is available now. |

I see what you mean mate.
Yes, and the sheer quality of the really old badges is a world away from what is produced these days, especially. The pre war 'Steward' badges for example are a thing of quite exquisite beauty. We see nothing of that quality now. Similarly with cards too. _________________ NEWPORT COUNTY & GENERAL FOOTY BADGES:

I recently got into Match Attax with my nephew, not something i've really bothered with before, I play Spurs he plays Man U. I do have some old Spurs player cards of various shapes and sizes and they do have some charm but i quite like the holograms on the specials and shinies. See what tac the world cup comes up with lol.
On the OP badges. I only have the blue one which i got as part of a bundle and can confirm its stamped. The white i've bid on a few times but missed out on but also a Coffer. I did see somet on ebay recently of some new repo's of this design, can't remember who they were for though |

Derby County have colour variations in the Coffer Rosette badges Blue / White & White / Blue ... Also WBA rosette was issued in both gold and silver versions.
Not seen other 2 kit versions of the Coffer kit badge but Ipswich Town was issued in both gold & silver versions. |

Of course, - you are absolutely right about the Derby County rosette badges - I have them both and managed to overlook them!
I hadn't been aware of the different base metals being used, so will keep an eye out for those variations. Thanks. |
