Today was Carlisle United first game back home at Brunton Park since storm Desmond flooded Carlisle. To celebrate this occasion, Carlisle United Supporters Groups (five or six different supporters clubs coming together to form one group) brought out this badge in two different colours. They are £2 each with £1 going to the Cumbria flood fund. Although the badge is for a good cause and I do like the 'Cumbrians & Proud' slogan, I am actually not to keen on the overall badge. The club crest or a least the fox would of been better than the logo which is on it. Anyways I just thought I would share them with you lot.

Thanks for reading, kyle.

Being unfairly 'badge snobbish' I'd also point to the painted finish, which never looks as nice as enamel. However it is understandable if a tight turnaround was required for their production

I think the blues ones sold out. Not a nice badge but a great for a great cause and a good addition to the collection.

I agree with you Adam, it not the best design but it's for a good cause.
