I wonder where they got inspiration for the club crest from?

Not so much inspiration as much as stealing!

I thought initially that it was some Sunday League team but they are on the league pyramid - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retford_F.C.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

To be fair to them our badge, which I think does a decent job, is a pretty simple conjoining of the three letters of the club name so it isn't a massive rip-off. It's not like they are replicating the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Have another look - it's a massive rip off, they haven't even made it look much like an R, they have quite literally taken Fulhams badge into photoshop and done a one minute edit

Colours are quite different, should not effect the result at Derby on Saturday, no bother.

To be honest, of all badges to copy, I wouldn't have picked ours. Not one single post on here will affect the result at Derby so what's your point?

I do concur and I am so pleased someone has noticed that works of art and club badges tend to be very, very, very different kinds of things.  Cannot see anything wrong with their badge at all.

I don't have a problem with it either to be honest, I just found it interesting
