Liverpool Crest

Just a question regarding the crest.   Are their 2 different crests?   I have seen one crest which shows the Liverbird in the middle  "Youll Never Walk Alone" on the top and and "1892" on the bottom.

I then saw another which has the same crest as above but then has, what look like "cauldrons" with flames coming out which are on the sides of the Liverbird.

Which one is the "Official" crest?

The official one is the one with the eternal flames to remember the victims of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

I think the flames were put onto the badge after Hillsborough weren't they?

Edit:

Yeah.

If I'm not wrong then the cauldrons with flames were added after the Hillsborough disaster. In memory of the 96.

Im sure the official crest is the one with the flames, cause its the one on jerseys etc.

Correct me if im wrong.

Pretty certain the official ones the one with flames on , its on all the merchandise

What they said.

Now I know, thanks!

*Head in hands*

 

There's two flames and I'm sure it's for both victims of Hillsborough and Heysel.

are these the old to new ones

Are you taking the piss with the one on the far right?

FFS.  Is it the rain that's messing with peoples minds today?

Very early 60's Liverpool crest that Court, know yer history!

i used to have a badge like that, it looks strangely like the scum's but it's the old type from early yrs, we did exist then court......do you know  who shankly was??? ffs

If I remember, it was never a Liverpool crest, it was "made up" by a manufacturer. Leave it with me and I will find out.

Ay you cheeky get.

Fair enough, I've never seen that crest before, and my initial thoughts is that it was Man Utd's badge transformed in to an LFC one.

I don't think we had it on our shirts.

EDIT: Maybe the 53-54 away kit.

Damn it people stealing my thunder I was going to say one of our crests looked like United's

That's exactly what I was going to say next.

Never ever seen it on an old retro Liverpool kit.

Unlucky mate.  Watch out though, you'll be asked who Bill Shankly is next!

Ive got a plate from the F.Acup final 1974 with that crest on it, i actually saw one in the Museum once so i presume it must be a collectors item. Thinking about that ill have to dig it out, one of our familys got it for me, or they better still have!

I don't think we had it on our shirts.Ive got tons of 50s and 60s programmes and ive never seen it on any kit, could be wrong though.
