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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

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?)

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)

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.

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...

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.
