FC Boby Dvro: A Badge Retrospective

The badge of the mighty Dvronians underwent a number of changes back in the semi-professional mists of pre-Valderrama time. This was mainly due to me. And by mainly, I mean pretty much entirely. The manger of FC Boby Dvro was far too busy doing dull things like "managing his team" and "buying the right players" to bother with such life-enhancing wonders as team badges. And by "life-enhancing wonders" I mean pointless frippery that I happen to like.

An early version, rejected by the team itself. Unsurprising, as it's a bit shit.



For a short time, the poor Dvronian players took to the park (and occasionally the football pitch) with this monstrosity stitched to their shirts (note: "hilarious" spelling mistake intentional):



A more lasting impact was made by this incarnation, one that remains popular with certain sections of the fanbase (accusations that this represents the mentally challenged section of the fanbase may or may not be unfounded). Can still be seen on occasion:



This was eventually supplanted by the hitherto longest lasting (although not most recent) badge, the one most closely associaetd with the Dvronians and their quiet struggle to "do quite well really, when you think about it" (it's the club motto):



Finally, during the infamous Zola SNCF (Single Nation Challenge Federation), the Dvronians took the bold, brave and utterly foolish move of theming the squad on nations ending in -guay, namely Paraguay and Uruguay (yes, it's two nations. Sue me). It may have utterly scuppered any hope of any success in that final season, but it did garner a new favourite club badge, the rather splendid effort below:



So there you have it. FC Boby Dvro, badge style.
