For the peanut gallery

"To send someone to Coventry is an English idiom meaning to deliberately ostracise someone. Typically, this is done by not talking to them, avoiding their company, and acting as if they no longer exist. Victims are treated as though they are completely invisible and inaudible. The Coventry in the phrase is the cathedral city in the West Midlands."

If you need to explain the joke there’s no point

We had this discussion on the other thread with people pointing this out. It's about owning a well known phrase often used as a negative against the city and turning it into a positive.

Yes I am aware but someone asked what had happened to "sent to coventry" and I said it had been ignored and thusly someone seemed to think I meant it had been really ignore.

Does no one read the whole thread these days.

anyway it's the specials one or no one for me

Specials One zero percent for me.

Yeah, too much obsessive association with the football club none of them supported! I love the Specials but I'm pretty certain none were fans of CCFC.
Everybody knows of TH's Man U infatuation but I think I'm right in saying the rest were ambivalent at best.

No 1 all day long! Proud of the association....

Get you now.

Combination between number 1 & 6.

Is there any potential issue with using the image on number 1?

Should be a sent to Coventry option, alot of support for that on here.

No1 is the best of that lot.

Yup. Still think Sent to Coventry is the best. It is a UK wide known saying.

Suffolkskyblue · Jun 22, 2020

No 2 for me, longevity should MR disappear next Jan.

I'm a bit reluctant to choose anything that focuses just on MR because it could potentially have a short shelf life for a lot of money.
So given that I guess the second one ha the most longevity but I do like the last one too. Not sure about the wording though.

Also, if "The Specials One" is chosen could it be done with the text as
The
Specials
One

There seems to be a lot of dead space in the centre of that flag.

It has to be the 'legacies forged' one for me as it focuses on all our managers that have won us trophy's. The others that are solely MR focused could look a little silly if MR should leave us, certainly more so than the one which also includes JH/ Sillett & Curtis, which would still have some relevance in a historical context if he did.

Edit - Missed number 2 when I first looked. That's the best for me - tying in 2 tone & CCFC, the 2 cultural icons that make me proud of Cov.

It does concern me a little re Robins leaving. Think he will always be fondly thought of here though.

Anything with MR's image should have velcro patches around it and his name, IMHO.

Or we have to have a manager next time who is also called Robins, or hie first name is Robin something. Maybe just have the S velcroed.

Samo · Jun 22, 2020

No.4 for me, its a class above the others.

skybluetony176 · Jun 22, 2020

First one for the wordplay alone. Although the club badge needs to be a good bit bigger. Fill the space.

lifeskyblue · Jun 22, 2020

I like 10...the history of the club, in my life time, right there.

I like 1,2&8. Voted for 8, can't believe I'm the only 1. Mint design, I'm half tempted to buy it anyway

Yeah, good point. I think velcro's current price by the ounce is on a par with saffron as well.

The letters mate, look like they have been cut out of the tv times

We could stick on with drool which could be harvested after every CWR phone in.

4 for me

Why would it look silly if he left? The whole point of getting a flag together is to celebrate his achievements with us, 2 promotions and a cup win in three years, he's a legend now if he leaves us, if we sack him or if he's here for another 10 years. Jimmy Hill walked out before we'd kicked a ball in the premier, should we go and tear down his statue?

robbiethemole · Jun 22, 2020

If 1 gets chosen, it needs a better picture of Robins and a bigger badge to fill the space.

robbiethemole · Jun 22, 2020

10 is also a good design, shows where we are and where we came from

B-Ban-Boogie · Jun 22, 2020

Damn, I forgot about this..
Probably too late to add one!

ccfcway · Jun 22, 2020

Don’t worry about what happens if Robins leaves, it doesn’t look much like him anyway. We just need the new manager to have initials as MR.

Mike Reid or Micky Rooney will see this flag have longevity

Esoterica · Jun 22, 2020

The thing I don't get with The Specials One design is why 'THE' is in black and 'SPECIALS ONE' in white. Shouldn't it alternate every letter or every word in line with the 2 tone style?

I assumed it was four squares with alternative colours and no bottom right black square
