This one was pretty tough to find for sale individually but I eventually found one! This is one of 100 match badges made for the fixture at Valley Parade on the 10th Oct 2009 which the Alex won 3-2. The badge details the score, attendance and MOTM as well as the team logos. The badges are available as a full season set from http://www.bradfordcitybadges.co.uk/#/limited-edition-badges/4527107070 but for obvious reasons I did not want a full set - just this one!

Miller Ball Badge
No sooner do I put up a post about this Miller Ball Badge and one appears on ebay.... Its great to finally see what it looks like in colour! And while it would have been nice to win the auction (it sold for crazy money!) at least I can now add it to the blog properly...
.. the seller detailed it as a "1930's brooch pin badge made by H.W.Miller".
If anyone has one for sale for less than £180 then get in touch!!!

Colourful logo pins
This set of six old logo badges with reversible colours has partially been covered before on the blog but now I have the full picture (cheers Andrew S). These if you note have a silver background. We think these were produced by old supporters association and its thought that they were produced in batches of 200.

Wolves v Crewe 05/06 match badges
Following on from this blog post....
... it looks like there are more Wolves v Crewe badges from 05/06 than I originally thought. Cheers to Andrew for sending me the pictures and the info. The top two in the picture I already knew about but I had no knowledge of the other two that also feature the date of the game. If its anything like the Liverpool v Crewe badges I have in a similar design then there could be as many as four variations of these rather than just the two shown.

Very old Ball badge
This one is a picture from the AFBC directory of the oldest one of the all. Listed as Crewe badge 001, I have never ever seen one. Does anyone have it or any more info on it? I'd love a proper picture (and of course to have the badge myself too!). Its a type people call Miller Ball badges but I don't know if its an official one of those.
Liverpool v Crewe match badges 2008 (post #2)
When I did this post http://crewepins.blogspot.com/2009/04/liverpool-v-crewe-match-badges-2008.html a while back I thought I was only missing a couple of these Liverpool match badges. Turns out I was actually missing 3! I have them all now though. There were four colour variations of this design plus one version (I think) of the badge on the other post. Does anyone know of any more that were made for the game?
Old logo badge
While we are on a roll with non-enamel badges.... here is another one that came up on ebay recently. I didn't buy it (although someone did) although I was really intrigued to know what it was made of and where it had originated from? Anyone shed any light on this one?
Edit: 7th Aug 2012 : I now have this badge and its a metal badge about an inch high with the front being like a very shiny sticker.

Crewe Alex Flag Badge
Here is a brand new Crewe badge that I have had made due to the lack of Crewe flag badges out there. It looks good and I'm really happy with it.
The design is based on the red merchant flag that I used to take for years to CAFC away games and England games home and away (it can be seen in action here http://www.365englandfans.com/gallery/hough_holland1.jpg )
If you would like to buy one, the cost is £2.50 (inc P&P) for the first badge and just £1.50 for each additional badge in the same order. This is pretty much at cost. If I sell these then I can get some more designs made up! Paypal to houghmartin2@yahoo.com or drop me an email at the same address to pay another way or if you have any questions.

Crewe v Sheff Utd badges 1981-82 Season
This lovely set (in five different colours) is part of a wider set being produced by a Sheffield United fan commemorating what many Blades fans see as their most enjoyable season ever (1981/82) when they came down to Division 4. Made out of old enamel and slightly larger than most badges I see today these are a very nice addition to the collection.

Crewe v Palace match badges
These badges were made in 3 different colours (with a limited run of 25 for each) for the 2005/06 season match at Gresty Road vs Crystal Palace. I don't know if any were made for the return fixture at Selhurst Park but I'll keep looking!
Update: Cheers to Andrew for confirming to me that none were made for the return fixture at Selhurst Park

There's only one Alexandra
Thanks to Mike Lazenby for sending me this one! A button badge containing a phrase often used at Gresty Road (I think I even had it on a scarf once..)
Here is the background info on the badge's origin in Mike's own words....
..my first two Alex games were as a matchday sponsors guest, and I got it at one of those two
games. So it's either from 1989 (January game v Leyton Orient...Wayne Goodison scored!) or a year later v Birmingham. From what I remember the idea of being a corporate guest back then was a bit different to what it is now...!

A nice badge to add to the collection! Cheers Mike!

Liverpool v Crewe match badges 2008
These two badges are the only ones I have come accross so far that were made for the 23rd Sep 2008 Carling Cup 3rd round game at Anfield. It finished 2-1 to Liverpool. They are nice, well made badges. I am reliably informed that another two badges were also made for this game so I'll be keeping on the lookout for those!

Wolves pre-season tour 2006
Cheers to FBB on the badge collectors forum for this one... http://www.websitetoolbox.com/mb/theexecutivesolution?forum=81603
Only a small piece of Crewe in this one but we are on it so it becomes worthy of mention!
Its a badge produced for Wolves' pre-season games in 2006 of which of course we were one.

Old logo with blue
I found this scan here
http://s661.photobucket.com/albums/uu334/BadgesCollection/?action=view¤t=England.jpg which was a Spanish guy trying to sell his entire collection in bulk. Sadly he wouldn't sell individual badges. I've never seen this pin before - the old logo but with the circle over the letters in blue rather than the usual red. Judging by the rest of the pins in the collection, this is probably one from the 60s or 70s. Anyone shed any further light on it?

2008 match badges vs Leeds
These are the 2008 Crewe v Leeds badges from the same producer as the badge a few posts back for the recent match. There was one badge made for each of the meetings in the 2007/08 season and then another made for our game at Elland Road earlier this season on 6th Sept 2008. Great quality badges and still available online too from the original seller.
