Crewe v Liverpool friendly - year unknown!



Another gem from Andrew S. This Crewe v Liverpool friendly badge was bought by Andrew at Anfield from a badge seller when we played there in the Carling Cup last year. There is no date on the badge but he thinks its from the pre-season game in 2007.

06/07 Crewe v Liverpool pre-season friendly badges

Thanks again to Andrew S. for sending me pictures of these match badges from the pre-season game at Gresty Rd vs Liverpool on the 22nd July 2006. We assume there is a fourth badge with a white top and white bottom to complete the set.

More 09/10 Match Badges





Some more of the insert badges from this season.... this time Grimsby (a), Darlo (a) and Hereford (h)

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.

Collection update




Just wanted to post an updated picture of my collection. If there are any you have that are not on here then I'd love to feature them on the site (if I have not done so already!) . Even better if you have one for sale too!

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.

Guinness badge

Not sure what to make of this button badge.... quite frankly it seems a bit bizarre! Why Guinness in particular? Who knows!

2009/10 Season Badges



Another new season and more of these plastic insert match badges are appearing. Looks like a slightly different size and style to last season. Again, not ones I'll be adding to my collection but I'll keep a record of them by putting them up on the site when I see them.

Liverpool Road to the FA Cup 1992

This badge was put out as part of a larger Liverpool collection celebrating all their FA Cup wins over the years. The badge for their 1992 win contains the Crewe logo as they won (4-0?) at Gresty Road in front of the TV cameras in the 3rd Round.
