Midsblue Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I need a rain jacket and fancied an Oldham branded one. However I’d love our badge to revert back to the 1990s diamond version rather than the current badge. Would be keen to know your opinion but also - for The Trust - can we persuade AL to switch back for next season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDHAMADE Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Better still go back to the 1970s badge, when we had a real club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reply to that, most of us live in the past because they were better times than all this mamby pamby bollox of today, no community, no respect and folk trying to out do one another for envy, without the actual money to do it with. Yes the 1970s were tough but I'd go back to those times in a heartbeat and that includes the once very proud town of Oldham and it's football club Edited February 24, 2019 by OLDHAMADE Missing word lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Of course there’s far more pressing matters but having said that... I never warmed to the new badge. I’d be chuffed to bits with a return to a previous one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't. A survey out the other day, revealed that Oldham is the 9th. worst place in the country to live. Could be worse Rochdale was the 3rd. worst. Peterborough being the worst.

Eden Creative designed the current badge I thought. I actually quite like it but I’m not as stuck in the past as others on here. I’m also not that bothered about a badge though.

latics22 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I looked at the 90s one it isn’t as great as I remember. Looks like a blind child drew the owl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) The debate on football badges is simple: traditional versus modern. Traditional = Bury, Crawley, Man Utd Modern = Oldham, Cheltenham, Juventus, Forest Swindon are a classic example of reverting from modern back to traditional. I like the current Latics one but it could be better. Edited February 27, 2019 by TheBigDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be now but it wasn't back then but I guess you could say the same of alot of places, surprised Peterborough hold that record. Aren't they supposed to be Posh?

Coincidentally, a paediatric consultant at the Evelina children’s hospital, London, says he is seeing a growing evidence of conditions not only exacerbated by poverty, but caused by it. “I’m seeing kids with rickets on a fairly regular basis in my clinic,” he says. “That is related to nutrition at the very least.
