Rev,take a close look at the team pic from 1879 above (earliest known to exist) at Alexanda Meadows,front row on the right...player is sporting the Cross on his chest.

Btw,that picture I think was taken just inside where these Commemorative gates are..

Yeah saw that, but no sign in 1892.

You can say boo to that goose if you wish but you don't disrespect those who we remember on that day - do it sometime else .

I don’t make our fallen would get upset about a bit of protesting when they died for our right to do so. THAT is disrespectful.

‘We want Venky’s out’ through the Last Post, disrespectful, rest of the day is fair game. But Masher gonna Masher.

Three players with  shirts with the 'Halves' the wrong way round ...typical Rovers even back then !

I think I might be going mad - but I just saw while on the internet just now pop up in my google shopping recommends an all white kit with the new/old cross emblem for the badge instead of the rose. Looked very good.

Went to find it again to take a screenshot to post here, but it has disappeared! Can't find it anywhere.

Not sure if I was

1. Hallucinating
2. It was one of those concept kits
3. It was made available briefly by mistake and taken down
4. It's been available already and everyone knows that but I don't

If you walked into a museum and damaged a historical item what would the repercussions be? Surely all these clubs that are founding members or formed in the 1800s ought to be protected by law. And its not 'just so the fans have a team forever' I mean I ought to be a right of passage to be protected there wouldn't be the modern game if it wasn't for these clubs 150+ years ago.

Another picture from 1892/93 indicating we were playing in lighter halves than today with not a Maltese cross in sight

So since at least 1879 we've been playing in blue and white halves of some sort with no apparent  sign of a Maltese Cross since at least 1892.

Which genius came up with an idea for an all white commemorative strip with a Maltese Cross?

 

Why would you not have the earliest Badge in our history?

Why fixated on 1892? Surely the earliest we can find on record ought to be the one to be used. What would your proposal be ?
