Looking back, I really liked the one (I think) against Sunderland on the first game of what turned out to be the Premier League winning season - read something like 'your colours are in our hands, our dreams are in yours'. Nothing if not prophetic!

Fun fact: That message banner idea came in a dream to the lad who thought it up!

I like the one I based this signature on.

 

Swansea 2016, wasn't it?  History Makes Us Who We Are. Can't find a good pic.  

 

The one with the city skyline too. Especially Old John.

What a night

One of the best LCFC nights of my life. The atmosphere in that stadium that night wouldn't have happened without that TIFO and we wouldn't have won without that atmosphere. And the game had EVERYTHING.

 

Playing bona fida European Champions at home a goal down.

Amazing atmosphere.

Whole stadium on their feet for the whole game.

A goal from Peaky Blinder Marc Albrighton to seal it.

Kasper saving a penalty.

Vardy winding up Nasri to get him sent off and he has a hissy fit in the tunnel.

Getting their manager sent off to the stands.

Captain ****ing Morgan scoring with his magnum dong.

 

Best night ever.

Couple of points of trivia on Sevilla. The message banner was originally meant to be "The Underdogs", but the club said no because they didn't feel we were underdogs in the tie. 

 

The figure was meant to be Claudio, hence why he was in a suit. The body got drawn and painted before the news of the sacking, then it got changed to Shakey. Hence why it was Shakey in an uncharacteristic getup!.

 

There's a write up about it here actually: http://www.unionfs.co.uk/n2--feature.html

There hasn’t been a bad one IMO.

 

But dogs of war and first one with foxes head stand out, didn’t you do one for the Swansea game in the run in?

Which was touch and go with the club as they we’re afraid it might jinx the title? 

Yeah Swansea was one they had problems with.

[Gamble92]

Should make prints of them as well. I want the Wes one

The Sevilla one was amazing, started off one of the greatest nights we’ll have have at the King Power. 
 

The Forest one was also brilliant, a born and bred Nottingham lad who we signed from them lifting the trophy with another dig “the world famous city” was brilliant and lead to perhaps our best performance of the season. 
 

Can’t split them.

Wes in the context it was right in the faces of the Forest fans, they would of hated that

Second this. T-shirt prints of various designs would be terrific.

The absolute best thing about the "The World Famous City" tifo was listening to the Forest fans initially screaming "WHAT THE ****ING HELL IS THAT" as it was being unravelled but slowly going into silence as they realised they'd been done.

Getting the Forest one over the line was difficult for lots of reasons but the execution was excellent.

 

Finding space to prep a tifo for hundreds or thousands of square meters is really difficult as you can imagine.

 

If anybody knows of any warehouses, hangars, leisure centres or any other large space that might be useful please let @Union FS know

Its disappointing that UFS have to get authorisation on the design of Tifos from the Club at all to be honest.  They should not control what fans want to express via banners and Tifos.

Im surprised with hindsight you managed to get "Dogs of War" past them.  With the family friendly agenda they constantly push I would have thought that phrase would have been classed as to aggressive for our corporate image.

 

For example last season a Tifo expressing the fanbases unhappiness would have been most appropriate but obviously would never have been authorised by the club.

 

Something along the lines of "You gutless bottlejobs are ruining the legacy of Legends that have gone before you".

Think that's why it edges 'Dogs of War' for me, especially when you throw in the banners during the game about those jokers at Forza Garibaldi that their fanbase lost their minds over too. Those are the kind of moments any group who produce tifos should absolutely live for and it'd be great if there was a more competitive tifo/Ultras scene in England so we'd see this kind of stuff week in, week out.

 

The Sevilla one was UFS's biggest achievement (so far) in terms of displays, but every group worth their salt across Europe are expected to be able to turn it on for a CL knockout game - even at short notice. Doing it for routine league games (albeit local derbies) to help get your fellow fans up for it is more of a test, I think.

Tbf so were we. We went into the meeting with a couple of back up options expecting the club to reject a tifo including a bloke holding a rottweiler, let alone the message banner. Pretty sure they approved it on the spot 😂

“Encourage our family friendly puppies to advance as long as no minority groups are offended” - Doesn’t have the same ring to it.

more recent(ish) one

 

Simple and effective.

 

and starting to think that the UFS had an inside scoop to this seasons away kit

Yeah I have a soft spot for that cos I love the message.

Our record in tifo games is pretty good. The Palace home loss under Puel is the only league defeat I can remember off the top of my head

Bournemouth. Crazy the record against the small teams is so bad, we're unbeaten against Man Utd, Arsenal, Roma etc with tifos.

Could be a good idea this, one we look to put out at our near 10 year mark.
