"Protest" Scarves (20 Viewers)

[olderskyblue]

Problem with that is that many would disagree. Red and green for Coventry is more of a catch all as everyone would want us to return to Coventry.

Also, the reason the United scarf protest worked well is that it was such a contrast. Something red and green could do.

I disagree that many would disagree....

As for a contrast, Black vs Sky Blue? Seems quite a contrast to me..... and I would think black makes a bigger statement, as it's pretty obvious why we would be wearing it. Lets not forget, when a new club badge was "put out there" lots of people were asking what the significance of the red and green was!!

Anyway, whatever colour, i'd buy one.

Would black and sky blue stand out?

Would need a bit of a vote first I think but it seems green and red seems like more of a goer.

I meant it would stand out from a normal sky blue scarf, and would depict the perilous state our club is in.

Put me down for one if it gets sorted.

Red and green the club used those colours for one season, so it gives a contrast but a link to the club and the city....perfect.

Exactly. Can still get replicas of that top online.

Haha, I love threads like this, like trying to herd kittens
I've had a quote for some top quality scarfs with a small badge embroided on them. Main colours Red and green with skyblue white and black thread running through. Cost to produce would be around £5.60 each. But like I say, they really are top notch product.

Have you got any pics? Is there a quantity for those?

 

[TurkeyTrot]

100 quantity. Been sent a pic of a Polish scarf, you just have to imagine different colours to suit.god knows how I would post it on here
PM me your e mail if you like and I'll forward the e mail and pic to you

 

[TurkeyTrot]

Sorry, £5.20 cost to make

 

[Nick]

Looking at about £7.50 to sell then? Is that from a UK supplier?

 

[Higgi21]

I'd gladly pay a tenner,for me it has to be the civic colours as Coventry is what it's all about and has to benefit the Higgs

 

[mark82]

Did anything ever come of the supplier Michael suggested?

 

[Nick]

These do look good! Would people be willing to pay more for a better quality one and a badge?

 

[TurkeyTrot]

Uk supplier, Leicestershire in fact lol.

Colours wise maybe the red as it is, the black we could have green and the white sky blue?

 

[Nick]

Yep that would look ok, and like you say the Elephant on the Ball for the crest.

The only thing is, is that copyrighted or trademarked for the simple emblem of the elephant on a ball?

 

[Nick]

Would people pay a tenner for a scarf?

How much would it cost for postage for example for one to send via Royal Mail? (Or does anybody else have dealings with companies who would do it better and cheaper?)

 

[mark82]

Logo is a tough one. May be copyrighted. Need to be creative.

Guess it would be about large letter cost plus the envolope. Another 2 or 3 quid I guess.

Maybe just put an elephant on it? (creativity doesn't come naturally as you can tell)

 

[Nick]

Jiffy bags could be bought in bulk off eBay or something for about a tenner for 100.

Part of the reason McGinnity wanted to change the badge was the problems they had with copyrighting it, as it had elements of the civic crest in. So start from the civic crest for your badge.

 

[mark82]

Coventry civic crest

Coventry City logo from 1922 kit (the red and green one)

 

[Nick]

Could just be the elephant?

On a ball maybe?

I actually quite like that, in a retro way(!)

Leave logos alone,just colours,no nasty legal thingy's then

 

[shmmeee]

What sort of cat is that on the top?

 

[Monners]

What sort of cat is that on the top?

Looks like Mrs Slocombe's pussy to me

 

[shmmeee]

Just googled it, it's a cat-a-mountain or general wild cat.

Coventry Wild Cats.

Hmmmm, where's the number for that Egyptian billionaire...

 

[Hobo]

What sort of cat is that on the top?

It is a mountain cat or wild cat that symbolises 'watchfulness' which is quite appropriate for a fans protest scarf.

I believe copyright law protects an image for 70 years from its creation, so in the case of the old crest it might be free from copyright unless the image rights have been bought.

A tenner for a scarf doesn't seem too high to me. Is there any local companies who send stuff out mail order who might handle the orders and post them out at cost? Bit of publicity for them, nothing to stop them chucking a flyer in when they're sending them out.
