95/96 Play-Off Badge

These new (2010) badges are part of a larger set being produced to cover all years when there have been promotion playoffs in the league.  This one is for the 1995/96 Division Two playoffs when we were knocked out by Notts County in the semi-finals thanks to a 1-0 2nd leg defeat at Meadow Lane.  The badges look great and I look forward to seeing the rest of the Crewe ones in the series.  Hopefully, the ones that get produced for our other playoff years (v Scunthorpe in 92, v Walsall & York in 93, vs Bristol Rovers in 95 and most memorably against Luton & Brentford in 97) will be done using the correct badge from the time as I have let the guy putting out this series know that he is using the new logo on this one!

Round up of new style insert match badges

There are a number of glass fronted insert style match pins that have turned up over the last 3 years.  I have featured a few on this blog already but in the spirit of completeness, here are all the ones I have come accross but not yet included on here....

Insert style Crewe badge

Thanks to Andy Scoffin for sending me the picture of this one.  Its looks like it is one of the insert style badges common in the 70s and 80s.  Doesn't look like the highest quality of badge or design but certainly one I would like to add to the collection.
