Ipswich featured in 'The Football Crest Index' 10:43 - Jul 7 with 5728 viewsoshilling_coyb

Hi all,

Thought you would be interested in a new book celebrating the crests of every club that's been in the Premier League. It was sold on kickstarter, but I think there are new copies coming out soon.

It's also all online here: https://thefootballcrestindex.com



They also asked a designer to create a print for each club, which sits with the information in the book, and are also on sale as A3 prints. I was asked to do Ipswich's so obliged with this celebration of our rich history. Some of the profits are going to football-based charities I believe so get involved (more info on the site). Any shares etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Oli

I like it, but I think the description of the original badge is wrong. It stated that the original badge (the town's coat of arms) is a rampant lion and three ramparts, but those are actually the back half of three boats.

Ah really, that's a shame? I think the book has gone to print now. I believe the editor was trying to contact the clubs regarding the crest but I don't know if he managed to talk to anyone from Ipswich

It seems to have the wrong pre-1972 badge though. This is the one

That is a real shame. I would have otherwise have considered buying the book...

How hard could it have been?

Given that the book is centred around the clubs crests, is there a reason why the artwork created didnt involve the crest aswell? Seems a bit of a strange decision.

There's a bunch of legal reasons why that wasn't possible, so we were asked not to include the crests. Also because they will be on the next page of the book

Definitely easier said than done. Not sure how 'to hand' that info would be even for staff at the club. Let alone willingness to spend time helping source information.

I've never seen this one shown in the book in a rounded shield shape, personally.



A quick google search of "history of ipswich town crest" brought this up...

https://thebeautifulhistory.wordpress.com/clubs/ipswich-town/

along with a number of images.

The one I remember seeing more often in old pictures is this one:



Having said that, I really like your typographic artwork... although I should imagine 12th_Man is probably sitting somewhere scratching his head as to what the top left quarter means...

Thanks! Really like the red and blue crest there.

Curious if fans have an appetite for a change/ update to our current crest as so many clubs seem to be updating theirs recently?

I love our current badge. I would be against changing it.

Truly impaired.
