New Badge?

[The Monk]

Seeing as we are now known as AFC Hx does that mean a new club emblem?

 

Rare Hornchurch FC badegs on eBay I should imagine...

[Urchin Boy]

I Was Thinking The Same Yesterday But Never Got Round To Asking, Just Looked At AFC Telfords Kit And They Have AFC Written In The Badge So I Would Imagine So ...

[R&W Dynamite]

Our club badge doesn't say Hornchurch FC or anything like that on it, so I suppose the current one will be alright to use.

 

Unless the FA require us to have a different badge as we are a different club. Does anyone know if this is the case?

[Uncle Urchin]

the badge stays as does the latin motto underneath it.

 

you are still 'urchins' and the 'good name endureth'.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Thanks unc, thought as much.

No, you can have what you like on the badge, within reason.

 

I would have preferred a name like Hornchurch UFC rather than the pointless AFC prefix.

 

The "U" of course would stand for Urchins.

 

Just about every "new" club tends to go for AFC, which stands for Association Football Club (unless you are referring to AFC Sudbury, of course.

[Uncle Urchin]

its not our choice daggsy....it has to be sanctioned by the Essex FA and then the FA....

 

I understand that Jonno went for 'racing club urchins' and jen wanted 'inter bridge flamingo'

 

bridgey wanted 'bridge ham' and the geordie immigrant wanted 'toon harriers'.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

 

emh's dad on the other hand would have settled for bridger'pool'..... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

 

the urchinetts of course wanted....

 

errr.....okay...we'll leave that one.... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I still fancy Hornchurch UFC - but they are still looking for a name for the new bridge at Wembley Stadium - so how about suggesting that they plant some trees along it and call it Bridge Avenue?

I liked the sound of 'inter bridge flamingo'....we could of changed our colours to pink and black!!!!

way the FA is going, i can see them calling the fecking thing Wayne Bridge.

 

anyway. regarding AFC clubs, AFC Wimbledon rather famously stands for "A Fans Club"

 

i couldn't give a feck what we are called, we'll always be the hornchurch, the mighty mighty hornchurch.

[CraigDavid]

i second that tree boy.

I always thought AFC stood for Athletic Football Club, like Charlton.

 

Athletic Football Club being the name given to those teams with a running track around their pitchs i.e Newport AFC and Charlton back in the day??

Newport were reformed as well after the old Newport County side went bust in the late 80s.

Yeah I know, they had it all then, in Europe I believe?
