Blue Liver Bird on The Stadium?

[SailorBlue]

I think Leeds United were originally the Owls

No mate they were the Peacocks

When I see the liver building, or images of it I never think of that lot. Its an iconic symbol of our city, particularly the docks and I think its only right that we have some reference to it in the new stadium.

From a marketing point of view I think it will give us more identity to tourists who may have not known that Everton was in the City of Liverpool

My sentiments exactly.

I have come around to the thought. Both teams in the city should have a Liver bird on their stadium. In the spirit of fraternal love we should both have one from close to the waterfront. Mr Moshiri can give us one off the Liver Building and our red friends can get a sh#te hawk from the sewage treatment works they're always pointing out is close to our new gaff.

Since Victorian times, Man Utd's crest has depicted a ship in full sail, which is a reference to Manchester's trading base and to the Manchester Ship Canal. And since the 1950s, many of the concourses of Old Trafford have been adorned with sailing ship murals.

Guess which club co-opted the sailing ship symbol in the 1960s...

I see nothing wrong with both Liverpool clubs enjoying the benefits of being associated with the Liver bird.

Yep. It's the symbol of the city. Let both clubs use it!

They had an owl on their shirts until Revie had it removed in 1972. Just saying like.

First again...........

Everton Football Club, however, was the first football club to use the Liver Bird symbol, on its medals and souvenirs up until the 1930s when it was replaced by Prince Rupert's Tower, another iconic Liverpudlian symbol, in 1938. The club commissioned the incorporation of the Liver bird on the league championship winners' medal in 1890, Everton's first ever championship title, won at Anfield, their home ground at that time. Some fans still believe the symbol should be used on the club's strip, arguing that it should be a representation of both clubs in the city.[5]

*The Eland Road ground was originally called 'the old peacock ground' (Named after a nearby pub which is still there BTW)

Correct the owl was taken from the Coat of Arms of Leeds first Alderman SirJohn Savile.

The new Leeds United adopted the Peacocks nickname the same as the old defunct Leeds City FC
