A new big flag

[pornomagboy]

What about a big flag saying who's that man from Argentina

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Where were the NSK in Getafe?

 

[DavePage]

If there is a dolphin, why no shrimp?

 

[Baldseagull]

4. We wunt be druv, bruv.

 

[skipper734]

I didn't like any of them, the horizontal bars look too South American to me........... So I changed no 4.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

No 2 chosen for me !!

 

[Al Bion]

I voted for number 2 but don't really like any of them particularly. I think the 1901 is too prominent and I'm not keen on the badge on all of them, it's too fussy for a large flag, in my opinion. But I'm grateful for the work you've put in trying to organise this and hope we can get another big flag.

 

[GreersElbow]

Was number 1, but chose number 2 now!

What does the 'We Wunt Be Druv' saying mean?

We will not be driven - the idea that Sussex was a county of free-thinkers, and free people.

I like the idea of the druv, but don't like the design. A connection to the county IMO is important.

 

[Captain Sensible]

Went for no 4 but I think we need an option 5. Something completely different.

 

[dougdeep]

Agreed. The crest is overly fussy and brings an unnecessary faux-grandeur to the flag.
It is best served using one idea, and to fully embody that idea, not a crest that contains everything and the kitchen sink. And then not with a seagull and dolphin on either side.

Just my personal thoughts on the matter.

Mine too.

 

[KJP]

Anything but number 4, looks like something a chav would say

 

[rouseytastic]

Voted number 1 because I like the nod to the dolphins and as states on someone else we already have a prominent gosbts banner. Again agree that the horizontal stripes don't quite. Really should be vertical

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

If I had to pick it would be 1, but to be honest I'd be happy with a huge current club badge overlaid on blue and white stripes. simple, powerful, unmistakeable.

LOVE the 2nd one, definitely go with the "Sussex By The Sea"...top work

 

[Stat Brother]

'We Wunt Be Druv' - We will not be driven

ought to make it onto the next Albion/NSC/Cycling merchandise.

Evening everyone

Please see the link below to four big flag designs.

http://nskbha.blogspot.co.uk/

The inspiration for these designs is rooted in the desire to have something fan led which celebrates the Albion, the City and Sussex. As with the design process for the Stand or Fall banner these aren't necessarily the finished designs. We'll listen to all constructive feedback and look to re-work if necessary.

As no doubt many of you will have spotted the re-designed crest is an updated version of the crest of Brighton & Hove. The first known crest (1946–1975) to be used by the Albion was the traditional coat-of-arms design of the twin towns of Brighton and Hove. A hybrid design employing the shield of Hove and the dolphin crest of Brighton was also used at times while a calligraphic shield was worn on the team shirts in the latter 1950s. During the 1974/75 season the club became known as 'The Dolphins'. A new crest was designed although we're not sure if it ever made it onto the shirts! During the 2001/02 centenary season a return was made to the traditional shields of the former boroughs of Brighton and Hove

We've taken inspiration from these previous crests and arrived at the designs featured in these four flags.Many thanks to all those who have helped during the design process. Special thanks to @BHAFC_SWC

There is £1000 ready to go towards funding this, thank you to everyone who has already donated, apologies for taking a while to sort this out. We'll need to raise approximately another £600-900 depending on how big people want the flag. As a rough guide 12m x 9m will cost around £1600, 14m x 10.5m around £1900.

If you're happy to donate before the final design is chosen please send your donation via paypal to nskbha@gmail.com

The flag will be fireproof and have the necessary certificate etc. We have storage for the flag within the stadium. The vote (via the link above) will be active for the next two weeks. If you work for a printers or know a firm interested in printing this please get in touch.

If we raise additional funds we will use money to purchase another huge banner for the back of the north stand. Watch this space.

Many thanks

NSK

I voted for the top one, but I loke all of them apart from the druv one.

 

[Marshy]

Sussex by the Sea

 

[Hillian1]

Sussex by the Sea.

Mainly because even after living in Sussex for 35 years I had no idea what We Wunt Be Druv meant.

 

[martin tyler]

Voted 2. Bigger the better.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Are this lot actually still about?? I'd have guessed after having their first wet dream they might have realised what frags they are making of themselves...
