    80's Hibs Badge

    Apart from being a bit pish, what was the reason we changed the aforementioned badge for the beer bottle label??

    I thought it was something to with crown on the badge but not sure!

    Pretty sure the Lord Lyon (regulator of coats of arms) reckoned we had no right to a badge displaying a crown.
    This is how it feels

    Was it not a rip-off of the Real Madrid badge?

    Better than the beer label effort but thankfully we have a badge which reflects both the history of Hibs and the present.

    Agreed. No subservient nod to any crown for me. The harp, ship and castle is just fine, though I do like the original big harp crest.

    I asked my Dad about this before and he reckons there was a version of that badge as far back as the Fifties. He said he can remember it being on the club blazers of the players on special occassions.



    EDIT: This photo shows the 'Crown' badge on display in the early 70's, I'll keep looking for older references.

    Loved the crown badge on the shiny Umbro top. One of the old 80's tops that I still have looks a better colour than the ones in between, especially the LCS ones. Didn't take to the beer label at all, I would like to see the club weld over the gaps in the struts behind the FF stand where you can still see this.

    Nice thought but no

    Pretty sure the crown connection was because we have a royal palace in Edinburgh

    The beer bottle/planert saturn badge was mingin

    Our present badge is simply superb
    This is how it feels

    Still got a scarf with a crown badge sewn onto it. Had it since I was 8 years old so that confirms the old crown badge was around in 1968 at least.

    Didn't look bad but a pretty meaningless badge that reflects nothing about the club.

    The badge have now says it all about our club. It's superb!

    I reckon that would be about when it was introduced. The early-later sixties seemed to feature a castle on it. I 've mentioned this before but haven't seen an image for a long time. I had it on my cot, as a large transfer, when I was a nipper.

    If I remember rightly, which I rarely do these days, the "Hibernian" on the beer label badge was slanted to depict the famous Easter Road slope.

    I do like our present badge and it was very tastefully done. But there is something about the crown badge. It's the bright colours I think.

    Correct, although I fall into the same category of rarely remembering correctly.

    Indeed.

    Hence the new badge when the slope was removed.

    I had a feeling that I had seen the crown logo with a shamrock in it rather than copying the UK crown.....I realies I'm on the verge of straying into a debate I don't want to be getting into but is it possible that it was the Irish crown on the badge rather than the British one? Not sure if that would really explain the badge's disappearance though....

    Anyway, exhibit A - found here on post 78 http://www.talkceltic.net/forum/show...=114811&page=6

    Im pretty sure the Crown badge was based on the Real Madrid badge and was in fact designed by either Tom Hart or Tommy Youngers wife.

    No recollection of it ever having a shamrock included and recalling Tom Harts views on Tricolours would be amazed if the Crown was intended to have any Irish connection.

    i like the badge because it was the badge that for me spanned a period with lots of good memories of going to the fitba altho not always the fitba itself, but as others have said it was meaningless and not a patch on our current excellent crest.

    I also think it was meant to be a stylistic (abstract) harp shape plus a bit continental looking to recognise our european football heritage. That's what I seem to remember from a Hibs programme around the time Duff and Duffer introduced it as the new badge but my memory is a bit dodgy these days too.

    I do think the current badge is our best but I have a bit of a soft spot for the Saturn badge as it was the one I grew up with from the age of 8 to 19



    Here is a picture of our last 3 badges
