In a book about the legendary Celtic defender James 'Dun' Hay (by his grandson Roy Hay – 'The Story of a Footballer' 2004) the above photo appears confirming that this was the design used on medals issued by the club to the players who won every major trophy available in Scotland that year, the first time this had been done. Their 2-1 European Cup victory over Inter Milan made Celtic the first British and only Scottish club to have achieved the honour. The club’s wordmark, “The Celtic Football Club”, is written in a lightweight sans-serif typeface with thin clean lines and placed on the upper part of the badge’s frame, arched from the center.
May perpetual light shine upon my Auntie Bridget and my Dad and Canon McCabe, and all deceased members of Celtic Supporters Clubs throughout the world. As of the end of the 2018/19 season, their honours include being crowned Scottish champions on 50 occasions, 39 Scottish Cups and 18 Scottish League Cups. The competition started with the blog team making a short-list of team badges as our chosen judges would have gone crazy if they had to look at all the team badges from all the teams on the planet. None the less the removal of the badge from the article came across as rather pompous and humourless. Executed in green and white, the color combination which associates with the country most, it features a four-leave clover as the main element.
The preliminary selection was made with help from journalist and historian Rodolfo Rodrigues, author of the book Badges of Football Teams of the Entire World.
There are some cracking stories about the memorable characters and situations that developed over the years as we travelled on Celtic business. Not surprisingly for Fergus there was controversy too as he tried to get the idea off the ground that the badge should be changed to appeal to the Scottish business community and should incorporate a thistle. I was one of the very first to cast eyes on the Badge when I sat on my father’s knee on a Celtic bus in Bonnybridge and I was only two years old. The only significant change to the badge was that the name around the badge now stated “ The Celtic Football Club” as against “ The Celtic Football and Athletic Coy.One possible theory is that it is possible that if Celtic had won only the three then a three-leafed clover would have been used likely gone on to become the club emblem.
Theory: The below medal is the earliest known usage of the four leaf clover, and the design represents in part reflects the winning of four senior trophies that season. First placed badge on each judge’s list received 60 points, second received 49, third, 48 and so on with 50th placed badge receiving 1 point. After our first year when the club badge was without doubt the Celtic Cross, it was another 90 years before the club badge would appear on the jerseys. Redesigning the badge of such an iconic football club (with some of the most devoted supporters in the world) was a daunting task, even if my alterations were only for fun. Therefore, it is possible that if Celtic had won only the three then a three-leafed clover would have been used likely gone on to become the club emblem.Celtic FC Trainer Badges allow you to personalise your footwear, making a proud statement about your favourite club. So I liked your new badge so much I got it tattooed on my leg at the weekend, like yourself I had my doubts because the original badge is so close to my heart but I love your re-design its different and unique but also very original, so thanks a lot for the inspiration.
The club’s name was written in the same way, although where the founding year was on the previous logo, there was now a clover. Easy Application: Simply lace your shoe, boots and trainers ensuring the trainer badges face upwards and are on the correct axis. During the amendment, there was even speculative consideration by Fergus McCann (the then Chief Executive) of possibly changing the crest at one short point, but thankfully was never taken any further see article. The Celtic logo is composed of a stylized clover image, enclosed in a wide circular frame with a white background and a double green outline. Well, it was our honorary member whose name did not require to go into the hat – one of our parish priests.
The bottom part of the frame comprises the “1888” mark surrounded by two abstract lines, resembling two bats. Recent years in the Scottish league are marked by the era of Rangers revival, so the club has a hard time. Below images are from an advert for Admission Tickets in the Glasgow Observer dated 22nd August 1891. I saw a reference in The Celt fanzine some time ago to there being an earlier four leaf clover emblem used by the club. My Dad related several shocking anecdotes about Kelly, but on a day like today I am in no mood to be negative or uncharitable.
Great Deal
