The 86 was a nice badge to follow on from the erimus badge, which to me is the best, the present badge is awful

I agree Erimus - I was going to include the current badge alongside the other two but thought better of it!

The only badges I'd consider buying now would be from the '86 badge era or earlier. There are a few gaps in the collection that I'm aware of, plus a few more that have become apparent thanks to this thread!

What do you mean, gaps in the collection?

Good shout you made regarding the 1990 light blue away shirt, no shirt badge seen

There a few colour variations of badges that I don't have - Johnny Vincents Motorbike had a couple in the pictures he posted (an Arsenal FA Cup semi final badge and one of the small 1988 Division One badges), plus some others that I'd never previously seen like these from your collection:

@Four-All & @Johnny Vincents Motorbike, another one I have of the same badge as shown above

There seem to be a lot of colour versions of this particular badge!

That suprises me @Four-All

I have 4 of those badges
I've not seen the majority of those coloured badges though

Thanks for showing it, something for me to look for

I bought the all-red one off eBay many years ago and the seller messaged me to say he had a few more in different colour variations, which is where the rest of them came from. I was never sure if they were modern reproductions as they were all in such good condition but, having said that, I've never seen very many come up for sale since.

@Johnny Vincents Motorbike - didn't you post a picture of a small metal MFC stick pin last night or am I imagining it (as it appears to have vanished)?

I see you have an example of the 'Zenith System's Data Cup' badge too!

please be aware of a recent spate of reproduction badges in a similar style - do not get ripped off.
