Naturalcynic 628 Posted April 24, 2021 I remember that. Pretty sure it was either Esso or Shell that gave out the badges when you bought petrol. Made a change from Green Shield Stamps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were nicely made on shiny hard embossed card. As a petrol freebie, the all time favourite was a tiger's tail though ☺️ ( reckon c.1965) Edited April 24, 2021 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collected them all - Esso . And I reckon around 1970. The norwich badge was the old lion and castle from memory . Still got them somewhere and the Esso Coins from the 1970 World Cup. Edit - sorry missed the Norwich badge on the photo. Edited April 24, 2021 by Graham Paddons Beard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Year of the tiger 54 Posted April 24, 2021 Seem to recall this was what pushed City into having a competition to design a new badge, as most were surprised by the esso set that we still had the City coat of arms as the official badge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This badge wasn't ever used on the kit, wasn't used in the matchday programmes, nor the Handbooks. Does anyone have anything showing NCFC using this badge in any official capacity?
