Reviews
"A lovely gentle football book telling the story behind football club badges in the UK. Leads down some meandering paths full of amazing information. Amidst the explanations of Latin mottos and Bible references and club badges, not a lot will beat the Coniston AFC logo, 'Nowt Caps Coniston.' Genius." --Adrian Durham, talkSPORT 's best sports books for Christmas, "A Beautiful Book. Lavishly illustrated. A cracking book, we love it. We do recommend it. Beautifully illustrated, informative with some great stories, and great research has gone into it. All fans will love it." --Hawksbee & Jacobs, TalkSport, "For those who prefer their retro kicks in picture form, there's the very pretty The Beautiful Badge by Martyn Routledge & Elspeth Wills, which plots the evolution of the club crest in coffee-table fashion. Yes logo! Pure design porn." -- Observer Favourite Sports Books of 2018

Synopsis
The Beautiful Badge is the first book to explore the history of football club badges. From the original Red Devil to the 10 canary, it looks at what inspired them, who crafted them and how fans reacted. Extensive illustrations show how badges followed fashion, negotiated copyright, and expressed the aspirations of owners, managers, and fans., The Beautiful Badge tells the fascinating story behind the UK's football club badges, from 1860s hand-embroidered symbols on home-knitted jerseys to today's multi-million pound brands. The book not only covers hammers, cannon and Liver birds but also reveals the link between Peterhead FC and Viz comic; which TV celebrity designed Aldershot Town FC's badge; and whose GBP10 doodle became the opposition's badge. Some clubs have sported ten or more different badges over the decades, ranging from their town's coat of arms to cartoon insects and initials. Promotion, moving to a new stadium or an owner with controversial views often results in a new badge. The book plots the influence of fashion, technology and fans, and investigates the tensions between clubs and supporters over changes to their beloved badge. Do you know why your club's badge looks the way it does? The Beautiful Badge is essential reading for football enthusiasts, historians, designers and anyone who enjoys putting their feet up in the boot room., The Beautiful Badge is the first book to explore the history of football club badges. From the original Red Devil to the GBP10 canary, it looks at what inspired them, who crafted them and how fans reacted. Extensive illustrations show how badges followed fashion, negotiated copyright and expressed the aspirations of owners, managers and fans.
