Hi There,

I am new to this forum and am looking for some help of which would be greatly appreciated.

After years of wishing to do, I have finally decided to enter a new team into my local Amateur Football League. The inspiration for this new team is the memory of my late Grandfathers of whom I miss very much so we have decided to name the team after them as a tribute given the fact they had the same initials so our team is being named "JS XI AFC".

We have all our sponsors in and we are now going to decide which Kits to buy etc, however, I would love us to have our unique Club Badge which will not only stand out but also be something different to the generic offerings most clubs have.

We will be based in Aberdeen, Scotland and whilst there are things I could incorporate in a badge to do with our local area etc, I am looking for something classy, simple and possibly retro. We have not decided on Club Colours yet but regardless of them, I would just like the colours to be black and white.

What we would like, if possible, is to have a badge with just the name of the club, including AFC, and also the prefix 2010. The picture I have in my head is the font that West Bromwich Albion used on their Kits in the 1970's as per the below picture inside the shield ideas that Arsenal and Fulham use as per below pictures also. If someone could provide some mock designs it would be appreciated.

Also, as I am new to this, could you advise if we would need to pay for any designs and if we can use them for all uses that our club requires.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Got this in my inbox, kinda touched my heart... I really did think it was spam. Sometimes it does surprise you.

My name is Marc Veenhuis, and I love nice cars as long as I can remember.

I started collecting car emblems & nameplates a couple of years ago, a hobby what is very interesting to me.

Due to 6 cerebral infarctions (strokes), I have been in and out hospitals, walking is quite difficult and painful, I cannot use my left arm, hand and leg but I keep trying to use them again step by step by 3 times a week physiotherapy.

In my spare time I collect car emblems.

Maybe you have got old or slightly damaged or spare emblems you cannot use anymore.

I really would love to receive them for my collection, I will appreciate that very much.

You'll make me very happy with every badge you can offer me.

Thank you for reading my e-mail request.

With kind regards and respect,

Marc Veenhuis

So I searched for the guy on Google and found this picture:

Maybe I'll get Mark at McB to search through the shop and find some emblems, cuz really that guy sounds like he'd fit well into the GRM world. P.S the guy did list an address, so if any of you want I can send it to you. Something-something helping good people... karma...
