Hartlepool v Crewe 2016/17 insert match badges



The badges from my 2nd game of my trip home last February.  Another miserable defeat on the field but at least I got these two badges off it (again from Davefrombrum on ebay).

Crewe v Stevenage 2016/17 insert badges



More badges from 'Davefrombrum' from the 2016/17 game vs Stevenage - a special one for me despite the defeat as my two boys were the mascots for the day.

When skies are Grey badge


Generic insert badge with the words from "you are my sunshine" that has been adopted and adapted by so many teams.. including CAFC.  

2017/18 Unofficial Kit Badges


It's a real shame that the club don't issue official kit badges every year as I always think they look great.  These resin unofficial efforts from 'davefrombrum' on ebay fill the gap a little but with the lack of sponsor and club badge they do fall a bit short....

EFL Cup 2017/18 vs Bolton

Set of insert badges from "CaptainChaos" on ebay in a familiar design for the Caraboa EFL Cup first round game against Bolton.  At the price he charges for the relative low quality of these badges I am amazed that he sells any at all.

2017/18 Insert Match badge vs Newport

Dave from Brum returns as a regular matchday badgemaker for League Two with different base designs for each competition with specific match inserts added.  This one for the home league game vs Newport is in the red home colours with the league trophy on the left side.  Dave does a great job with these and if demand is there Dave would produce these for every single game but for me, I just like to collect one of each base design.

Oldham and Preston badges 2014/15 - alternate colorways



I only bought these in the Crewe colours (red/white) so I wanted to capture a picture of some of these alternate colours when they appeared on ebay this week.

League Cup badges 2016

A couple of badges from our short league cup run back in August 2016 again from Nadja in the Ukraine...

Better Quality pic of the Ukrainian badges...

The seller reached out to me with a better quality scan of his badges so I wanted to share it on the blog!  They are great pins but collecting them all is way to pricey!  I love the designs though!

2016 /17 badges from Nadja in the Ukraine





Some more of the Ukrainian badges from 2016/17.  I like them and will try to collect one if its a new design but its totally unrealistic to collect them all.  I will try to capture an image to put up on the blog though when I see one!
