Retro Forest Photos

[Joe Baker Legend]

John Winfield's Testimonial with Frank Wignall and Joe Baker Nottingham Forest v Leicester city 1974.

Great photo, does anybody remember what year our Great badge changed to this one, this must be very close to The time it changed.
My memory recalls, there was a competition to design a new Badge, I think it was in the Evening Post, I may be wrong, it was a long time ago.
Whoever did come up with the design certainly hit the Jackpot!
Well a little Google and up pops the answer......There was a competition pre-Clough to design a new Forest logo and the winning design was by Trent Polytechnic graphic design lecturer David Lewis.

Forest’s current badge was created in 1973 and designed by David Lewis, a graphic artist. A Sherwood tree emerges from wavy lines, representing the river Trent.

I still seem to think the Competition was in the Evening Post
