Fake animals on Football Badges

[Ginger Chimp]

Following on from a discussion we were having at work ... are Liverpool the only club in Britain to have a fake, made up, animal on their badge?

We couldn't think of anyone else (immediately) ... although one bright spark (an LFC fan, ironically) said "Canary?"

(True story)

Any other team with a made up animal on the badge/crest?

Not an animal but Man U have the red devil, which is obvs made up. Wales and Cardiff have a dragon. Someone in the world probably has a phoenix

 

[SA Wolf]

A few clubs have a phoenix as their logo, especially some non-league clubs.

 

[Geordie Wolf]

Carlisle is also a couple of dragons I believe.

Cardiff actually have a blue bird ... the dragon has been consigned to the bin.

Nice one ...

 

[SA Wolf]

Probably a few unicorns out there as well. Bristol City was one.

Any league clubs spring to mind?

Name the clubs, not the animals ...

 

[Olivergoldblack]

Baggies will probably have a boiler on theirs soon.

Ha ha ... neither animal nor fake, though.

 

[SeaWolf]

Newcastle United.

 

[Geordie Wolf]

Those seahorses on the Newcastle badge are half fish, half horse, more of a mer-mare really than an actual seahorse too.

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Newcastle United.

Sea horses, surely?

Fair enough

Bristol City - Old crest
Forest Green Rovers

 

[hoop]

AFC Wimbledon
2 headed bird

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Forest Green Rovers

A unicorn ... good one.

 

[Olivergoldblack]

AFC Wimbledon
2 headed bird

Well in that case, failing a boiler for the baggies new logo how about a 6 fingered hand to represent most of their fans.

 

[The Runner]

Sea horses, surely?

They are demi-lions (??)

The badge

Our club crest captures the identity of Newcastle United and the city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Take a look at our crests and their significance over the years.

Lincoln City

 

[Ewok vs Wolf]

Dragons are undercover UFOs so they are real

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

The Hexagonal Wolf.

 

[clivewolves]

Loch Ness FC

The mythical monster of the loch, or just an eel to bring in the tourist dollars.

 

[SeaWolf]

The demi lion sits on top of the castle. The mer mares are either side. Obviously meant to be seahorses, but sticking the front end of a horse on the back end of a fish doesn't make a sea horse. Best they could come up with in the 16th C I guess.

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Lincoln City

That's not an animal, it's an imp.

 

[Jack Russell]

That's not an animal, it's an imp.

An imp-ressive observation, Sir!

 

[topcat99]

Lincoln City Imp is taken from the ones on the cathedral

A Bluebird is a made up critter ?

 

[jrpb-3]

scottish club fortmaine united has what looks like a griffin (winged lion)

there are few like st Johnstone with double headed eagles

 

[jrpb-3]

Since Aldershot were reformed they have a pheonix

There's something rather lovely and Monty Python about a SeaWolf disparaging pretend SeaHorses.

"You're not a seahorse. You're the front end of a horse on the back end of a fish."

"But aren't you the front end of a wolf on the back end of a fish....?"

"No, I'm not. **** off."

 

[jrpb-3]

Exeter City 2 winged horses

 

[jrpb-3]

coventry city have a pheonix (as well as elephant and eagle)

 

[SeaWolf]

"But aren't you the front end of a wolf on the back end of a fish....?"

"Sea wolves are a unique breed of wolf found in the Great Bear Rainforest along the Pacific Coast of Canada. Swimming between islands like fish, they are genetically distinct from their inland cousins, or from wolves in any other part of the world. "

The Extraordinary Sea Wolves - PANTHALASSA

The Sea wolves are a unique strain of wolf that lives in the Great Bear Rainforest, swimming between islands like fish.

But I think I prefer the. Monty Python version.

Birds are real, though

 

[Ginger Chimp]

Good stuff ... thanks all.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Orient have Wyvern's.

A Wyvern is a small Dragon.

 

[moseleyite]

Exeter City 2 winged horses

Don't keep us in suspense, what was the final score? Did Winged Horses score?

Not strictly true, they have both.
