    That thread absolutely sums up Reddit. People looking for offense where none is being given. Absolutely no normal person looked at that flag and thought about Adolf Hitler's police force.
    Isnt the whole sword badge design supposedly something to do with the Peasants Revolt? - So ironically quite a historic moment from overall London history

    It's a nice idea, but I think it's been discredited. Our sword comes from the Crest of the Corporation of London. It is St Paul's Sword as he is the patron saint of the city. 
    Cheers for clearing that up, still a design that very much in the theme of London as a whole though, which makes it even more stupid to be moaning about.

    Tbh, I heard a couple of comments about them looking  ‘a bit German’. I don’t think they would have been made like that for the ‘47 final, put it that way. Perhaps it was intended as a nod to ‘19 hero Patrick Bauer?
    Still thought they were a great idea, and fair play to the club for paying for them, assuming it was the club?
    I had mine hanging out of the bedroom window on Sunday. The flags that is. 
  • Just to add, the sword of St Paul isn't one that he used, but one that was supposedly used to murder him. I say supposedly, because there is no contemporaneous evidence of this, so it is possibly just a Christian re-write of history as they wanted St Paul to have martyr status.
  • Going to stick mine up in the office, might try to get a frame.

  • If anyone has a spare, I’d be over the moon.
  • People on there are absolutely mental. Worrying they live among us.
  • I'm glad Charlton fan 'Fetus_Smasher9000' put them right. :neutral:

    Got mine out on a conference call today.  😵‍💫

    Wonder how much the postage would be to send it there?

    Luckily I've already got one sorted, that I can pick up in person in July when I'm back.

    But it would be about a tenner for a tracked delivery, anything untracked goes 'missing'

    I thought Orient’s flag display before KO similarly ‘looked a bit German’ !

    This is the best use of that photo for some time on here 🤣
  • Scalf is a great idea to stop it sliding around. Noticed when I'm throwing the car round corners the flag is trundling round the parcel shelf.
