Smiley Culture 1,650 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 How the fuck have you even heard of Basildon United @Blue? I walked into their pre-season friendly with Enfield 1893 (who don’t play in Enfield and weren’t formed in 1893) for nothing about five minutes into the game this Summer. Ended 4-3 and I was the only one there in a crowd of 16 that wasn’t related to a player. On the train but rip-off’s of other clubs’ badges. They’re always shit. Forest Green Rovers old one was a terrible rip-off of Barcelona’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for terrible badges in football on Reddit and somebody mentioned Basildon. I agreed too, what the fuck is that thing in the middle?

I thought you’d decided to start tracking the Ryman Division One North or whatever it’s called now for a second. Not a clue. Maybe some form of mutant. Which would sum up the people of Basildon pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel81x 3,301 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 If you look at it closely it looks like a woman is laying on here back and holding something up ... but yes thats a horrible badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The history of Enfield 1893, Enfield Town and the original Enfield is all very messy. Enfield Town are viewed as the “proper” Enfield and have a tidy little set-up at the QEII.

Nice little ground which got ruined because of Saracens Rugby Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,650 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just thinking, would you, if you were a small club, purposely choose an ugly, terrible looking, unique club badge if it were to bring you publicity? Brian has never heard of Basildon United and probably wouldn’t be able to tell you what league they’re in but he knows about them because of their badge, which may raise their profile and lead to people wanting merchandise? Like Deportivo Wanka for example, I don’t know if Wanka is a place or what country they’re from, but I’ve heard of them because of their name and the fact they used to plaster the word “WANKA” across their shirts. I wonder if a terrible badge, shirt etc is merely a marketing ploy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegan Kel 172 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 "West Ham London" and the United badge since they dropped the 'football club'. Quite apt though as football is the last thing the 'owners' are interested in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
