Thank **** for that. The alternative was absolute, complete and utter crap. If you want to change the badge then just do a slightly modernised take on it and then replace the moose for a hornet. No major changes needed aside from that. It's really not hard.
I was against changing the badge to suit the nickname. But I'm all for changing the name of the club to fit the badge. Luton Town 0-5 Watford Moose Men
Someone light up the @CarlosKickaballs symbol (much like the bat symbol by far more crudely drawn) - I think he may have a commission.
Thank god Btw is there much difference in looks from a Hert to a Moose? Antler size and height main things I can tell.
And that posters here are representative of the WFC electorate as a whole. Good result for the Lib Dems and of course football is the winner.
I believe next up is the vote for pre-match music. Z cars Celine Dion - My heart will go on Black Lace - agadoo The Dead Kennedy's - Too drunk to f*** Schubert - Unfinished symphony The Verve - Unfinshed sympathy BBC news intro Magic roundabout tune Fat Les - Vindaloo C.oldplay - Yellow Yello - the race Smiths - heaven knows I'm miserable now. Details on how to vote coming out shortly.
Fully open and would still consider changing the badge, but not for something that looked pants like the other option.
I'm sure there are plenty of typo's, mist capitals, and incorrect grammer to keep ewe boaring ****wholes entertained in the poast. I type it once and just leave any errors I sea, so phil you're boots
I'd say don't be mean but he's got his logo work for the Ruislip Women's Half Marathon to fall back on. He'll be alright.
I'm not sure we can have a build up song that includes the words "ffs". Though if they're considering The Dead kennerdies, maybe we can ?
There still seems to be some confusion around the Hart/Hert/Moose thing. So to avoid any further confusion: The cartoon animal on our badge is a male/bull Moose (Alces alces) the largest of the deer family (Cervidae). It has palmate antlers (like a hand with fingers (or alternatively Foster's goalie gloves or Josh Buttler's wicket-keeping gloves)) stuck on the top of its bonce. It also has a broad pendulous muzzle with a dewlap which gives it a woebegone and forlorn expression as it wanders about in swampy land in northern forests eating sphagnum moss all day with its head down. It's also largely solitary. Wouldn't you feel sorry for yourself in similar circumstances? The Hart (bastardisation Hert), Red Deer male/Stag (Cervus elaphus) is however a proud, noble and haughty beast with its chin up (google The Monarch of the Glen - Edward Landseer). It has dendritic antlers (like the branches of a tree) which even when being renewed (in velvet) only look a bit fuzzy, never palmate. It needs to be a bit arrogant seeing as it's probably got 50 or so gals in tow and needs to 'protect them' from various other philanderers and chancers. Not that the bull Moose can't 'put itself about a bit' on occasion too. The Red Deer was obviously once a resident of our county but not now as far as I'm aware. It's generally been retreating northwards following the retreat of the ice 10,000 or so years ago but some must obviously have still been hanging out here when our county got its name (Edward the Elder - 913) when the county was of course far more forested than it is now. A further complication arises when considering the concept of the elk. While the N.Am. moose is a Moose, in northern Eurasia it's known as an elk. They're conspecific - the same species - but have different common names either side of the pond. It gets worse. In N.Am. they also have a beast called an elk which is in fact a Wapiti (Cervus canadensis) which is virtually identical to a Red Deer and was until recently considered to be conspecific with it. This 'total elk confusion' is why naturalists often talk in Latin so they're all clear exactly what they're talking about. Anyway, back in the day, some joker must have been commissioned to produce something along Landseer lines worthy of our club and county and instead produced a 'clown Moose' with ears in the wrong place (which would go for a Red Deer too). No doubt at some expense. Now we're stuck with it having rejected another no doubt ludicrously expensive exercise to replace it with some sort of hornet and, from 4000 entries, pitting the 'Moose joke' against an opponent from the Natural History Museum which rarely sees the light of day and would fall to bits if you touched it. Thus leaving 4000 hopefuls disappointed and us back at square one. Had an 'inspirational hornet' come top of the 4000 I might have voted for it but it's been an entirely pointless exercise. Hanging out in Wetherspoons, Angel Islington. Time to kill.
Nah, it's a Hart. There are herds of presumably red deer at Ivinghoe Beacon. A few must venture over the border into Herts near Aldbury....? Or are those "big" deer a different species ? Moose maybe ?
