  • Watford badge reminds me of the Fawlty Towers episode with the Mooses head.

  • Horrible font, inexplicable badge. 2/10

  • How nice would it be for the 'evening out' of decisions given against us to all come home to roost in this game, and win it convincingly? Especially given the bragging rights on offer with friends.

    It's a hart, from which the name Hertfordshire is derived

    Watford fans like you to call it a moose though

    Oh! Thanks! It does look a lot more like a moose though.

    There's something incredibly offensive about capitalised text where the first letter is "more" capitalised than the rest of it.

  • The kerning on the "WA" is horrible too.

  • I've just realised why the WA looks so awful. Rather than use small caps or a larger font size for the W, the designer has just stretched it vertically.

  • Ugh. An irregular pentagon.

  • Bizarre. Needs a hornet.

    This match by match assassination of team badges is very funny. The match day threads never reach this height once the game is discussed.

  • I can't tell if this is sarcasm @Right_in_the_Middle, however this is my favourite recent development on the gasroom so hats off to whoever suggested it.

  • It comes from the Hertfordshire Crest just as our Swan comes from the Bucks Crest. Both are equally valid even if neither are that accurate.

    I have learnt that some posters on here assume all my posts are sarcastic and others assume every post is deadly serious.
    Let's just leave it that you read it how you want.

    But what do you really actually mean by that?

  • At least there is none of this pretentious latin nonsense on it. 'Victory before dinner' or whatever.

  • I believe that "victoria ante prandium" is John Sitton's family motto.

    surely 'et fer prandium'

    Our first ever match in the 2nd round proper of the Cup saw us lose 5-1 at Vicarage Road in front of 23907! (They were 4th div at the time).

    Couldn't imagine that nowadays, maybe for a qf

  • I was there @LX1.

  • That badge is just garish and ugly.

    We need more @mooneyman. How many went from Wycombe? How did you travel back then?

    And people say the gasroom is littered with utterly miserable middle aged grumps!

  • 5000 Wanderers fans at Vicarage Rd in 1959.
    Wycombe had pulled it back to 1-1 at one stage.

    I was in the Watford end i'm afraid as I was only 7 and my Uncle who was a Watford season ticket holder took me.

  • No team news yet?

  • Allsop on the bench. Obita swapped for Jacobson mehmeti swapped for horgan
