The New Seagull?

[Gullys Cats]

Sorry if this has been asked before but why is the new club crest seagull facing the other way?

Thanks

Any reason why it shouldn't be?

The thinking was that it's looking To the future rather than the past.

 

[southwickseagull]

Cos we're going forward mate!

 

[Discodoktor]

All of the above plus

Looks better on websites directs eyes towards the middle

In heraldary a bird flying from left to right is weak whereas a bird flying right to left is strong....make of that what you will.

On a shield, held on the usual left arm, a left-facing seagull is going forwards.

No.

i was just wondering if it had any significant reason, like, coming home.

Flying from Hove to Falmer

dick knight probably holds a copyright on the old fat one.

i did some research for a fanzine article about this and the large majority of football club animals and beasts face to the left.

the palace eagle faces right, as does the manchester united devil.

I noticed they have now updated the badge on the sign on the Queen's Road shop - can anyone tell me what was odd about the old badge outside the shop? Prize is 1 B&H (Gold) which I'll even light for you.

 

[spoonie]

double sided so facing both ways ?

Probably

To be honest I think the new badge is the best we have ever had. Was gutted when we went to shield, that looked so pony.

I did like the idea of dolphins slipping back in. As personally I don't like the fact our nickname is based on a retort on a Palarse chant. Also seagulls are rats of the sky, not an animal that gets very young kids choosing our club. Still seagulls we are, so I love it and its one of my kids first words.

Went in there once, didn't buy anything, two points though:
1) There's a lot of nice clunge working in there.
2) It's very dark in there.
