25th Anniversary

Posted February 3, 20187 yr

As we all know, the club is turning 25 next year. Any ideas what we could expect from the club? I'm thinking special edition kits based on the home kits of Caledonian and Thistle, maybe following Aberdeen and adding a star above the logo to represent our Scottish cup win, and no doubt an anniversary game of our fist ever game. Any other possibilities that we could expect

Aberdeen, quite properly, celebrate their two European trophies with stars.

Amazing as it was, it would be inappropriate and frankly naff to mark our domestic trophy in the same way.

An 'anniversary game of our first ever game' would be a friendly against St Mirren. Perhaps, to add authenticity, we could stage it in the car park of the Telford Retail Park.

Yeah, agree about the star remark. Leave that for our premiership league title

If Sevco can wears stars for winning the 4th, 3rd, 2nd divisions, plus the Challenge Cup, then why the hell can't we wear one for winning the Scottish Cup. :clapoverhead:

If for no other reason than we don't want to emulate Sevco in any shape or fashion.

..and probably not doing much about it if and when they do.

Sadly probably also true

A centenary is something to celebrate. 25 years? It’s not going to get the fans excited, but still, there’s a small marketing opportunity here and I like the idea of doing something to mark the occasion.

It’s the 25th Anniversary of CTO as well (wonder how that happened!). Maybe we can do something special too like removing everyone’s red dots :lol:

Winning some silverware would be very appropriate.

You would need to bring in portaloos. Could even paint them black and red :wink:

Celebrate it by winning the championship.

We celebrated in Bucharest and at Hampden. These are the moments that count!

If we don't get our finances sorted out, we may be emulating them in other, more worrying, ways.

I really like the idea of celebrating the 25th anniversary (true, it's not a centenary, but I won't live to see that, I'm sure!!).

The celebration tops are interesting - I've got 1 of the 10th anniversary (I think...) tops (the one with the fans names on it), something like that would be fantastic.

As for the star? It's a "no" from me - always saw (as others have said) stars above a badge as being to celebrate a European trophy (unless you're Sevco, of course....).

But great idea, none the less... :ictscarf: :clapoverhead:

We should surround the badge with stars to commemorate our Inverness and North of Scotland Cups and one big mahoooosive one to celebrate that time our reserves won the North Caledonian League years ago.

Hmmm.. something to worry about?

Being outwith the top tier and trying to sustain full time football is always something to worry about. Even with our cost trimming and the parachute payment we are likely to lose hundreds of thousands of pounds in this financial year.
