Fancied the Saudis to cause a mini upset today but they just don't look strong enough to compete. Hey, Owl visiting, a penny for your thoughts. On another thread we are having a debate about the great news, for most, that the iconic robin and suspension bridge badge will be back on our shirts next season instead of the Bristol coat of arms. How well would it go down with Wednesday fans, like yourself, if it was announced that the owl would be replaced on your badge by the Sheffield coat of arms?

An owl has been on all Wednesday badges and The Owls is a nickname they have had for over a century. We've been The Robins for 60-70 years and had the Robin as a badge for a bit under 20(?) We also had the Bristol coat of arms as (one of?) our first badge and the majority of the time we have had a badge it has been the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We changed our badge a couple of seasons ago and it went down very badly. Any form of change at our club does though really, most Sheffield folk are very stuck in their ways. If the Owl went altogether there'd probably be protests, I wouldn't be happy. There are rumours that we'll be getting our stripes back next season which many are desperate for.

My first memories of a Wednesday kit was the blue and white Arsenal style one from back in the 60s and 70s - I can still see Peter Eustace (!) wearing it in my minds eye now. Was that your `traditional` one or is it stripes? Love the owl badge BTW, when you see it you`re in no doubt who`s it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Saudis look so wobbly. Getting out muscled all over the pitch, they all look very sleight as well. Are Russia just a team full of brick shithouses or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's the one we replicated last season, I really liked it as I'm generally not a fan of striped shirts. Only black and white versions like Newcaste and Juve look nice really. The stripes are the traditional kit but historically we have had others. (including hoops which was our first) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Feel Saudis were trying too hard to play nice football, Russias defence is slow and with a bit more directness and pace Saudi Arabia could have troubled them. If Saudi Arabia play like that in the next two games they may well end up with the worst group stage record of all time, no where near enough quality to play such open football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
