Winchester Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Wondering which badge is everyone's favourite. Really starting to like the classic Fox & Whips shield one myself.

Winchester Posted 7 June 2011 Author Posted 7 June 2011 It isn't a rose. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinquefoil Thank you alan flippin' titchmarsh but it is in the rose family.
dave_the_fox Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 What does it indicate? Is it the same as the Leicester County Council badge thing?
acooling08 Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Whats the difference between the 1992-2008 badge to the current one?
dave_the_fox Posted 7 June 2011 Posted 7 June 2011 Different font and a White nose for the fox. Also missing the dots between the words. Loads really......

Needs pics really before I can decide between the two most current badges. Edit: Dug some old shirts out.. there's not much difference really. New one slightly better when it isn't made of that glittery gold.
DJMadness29 Posted 8 June 2011 Posted 8 June 2011 For me its proberbly the latest one... but I do have this on my leg. (was taken before had fully healed though)

Madrid_Fox Posted 9 June 2011 Posted 9 June 2011 Can anybody explain the relevence of the white rose on the logo? The only thing I can think of is it might have something to do with the battle of bosworth, Leicestershire (1485) being the battle that ended the wars of the roses. Red of Lancashire v the white of Yorkshire. The official flower of Leicestershire is the foxglove.
Fosse Boy Posted 9 June 2011 Posted 9 June 2011 It's not a white rose! It's a cinquefoil used on the city's coat of arms which was originally used by the first Earl of Leicester.
Madrid_Fox Posted 9 June 2011 Posted 9 June 2011 Sorry guys, just managed to answer my own question. For those who are interested, Sosban is quite correct. The first quarter of the flag of Leicestershire is a cinquefolium, or five petalled ermine flower, within a red circle, which belonged to the Beaumont family. In 1103 Robert de Beaumont was made the first Earl of Leicester. The cinquefolium was also adopted for the City of Leicester’s Arms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_de_Beaumont,_1st_Earl_of_Leicester Sorry for the history lesson guys.

Great info - no need to apologise for teaching us something new
Lcfclee Posted 10 June 2011 Posted 10 June 2011 1983 to 1992 for me, just had the tattoo done Where did u get that done I've searched everywhere and nobody has the template
ajthefox Posted 10 June 2011 Posted 10 June 2011 Where did u get that done I've searched everywhere and nobody has the template No, I wouldn't have thought they'd have a template, you'll probably have to take an image of the logo in with you.
foxchop Posted 10 June 2011 Posted 10 June 2011 Where did u get that done I've searched everywhere and nobody has the template I just printed off an image I found on google and he scanned it in the shop, made up with it

Fox1651 Posted 13 June 2011 Posted 13 June 2011 on a shirt i think this looks best (taken from http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Leicester_City/Leicester_City.htm ) This is the best of City's badges, although they are all good in fairness
