NOLU badge : Millwall Rovers / Millwall Athletic ‘The Dockers’

NOLU badge : Millwall Rovers / Millwall Athletic ‘The Dockers’

Back by public demand, we at NOLU are proud once again to be able to offer a re-imagined version of our first in the historic badge series celebrating Millwall’s Isle of Dogs years from 1885 to 1910.

The original badge was launched as a limited edition and so it will remain with this revamped version using a reversed layout of a dark blue field with white edging. Across the top line and using a Victorian style font is the word ‘Millwall’. Down the left side is the original club name ‘Rovers’, whilst the right side carries the second title of ‘Athletic’. The main logo is a stylised M with a red A and FC entwined across the bottom. Underneath lies the old club nickname ‘The Dockers’ above the words Isle of Dogs and London.

There are three ways to purchase this badge:

Paypal – please forward £5 per badge to nolumagazine@hotmail.co.uk (please note this is our new email address following problems with the old)

Cheque – for £5 per badge made payable to ‘Nick Hart’ care of NOLU, PO Box 62554, London E6 9GH – please don’t forget your name and address.

All profits from the NOLU badges will contribute to NOLU costs, sponsorships and charitable donations.

1945 War Final (South) commemorative badge - £5 per badge

April 1945. Bomb shattered London is exhausted after nearly six years of conflict. In Europe the war is entering its final phase and across the seas, the Japanese will soon face defeat. For the dockers of Bermondsey, Rotherhithe and Deptford, the Southern Area Cup Final at Wembley between Millwall and Chelsea provides a welcome relief from the austerities of the day.

To commemorate this historic moment, NOLU magazine has designed the fifth badge in the Millwall history series. Using the colours of the Union Jack, the design incorporates the Victory V symbol with the word 'Millwall' across the top, 'War Cup' down the left side of the V and 'Final' on the right side'. In the central white area the year 1945 is marked alongside our nickname the 'Lions'.

At the base of the V is the usual NOLU tag.

To buy please forward £5 per badge as follows;

CHEQUE - made payable please to 'Nick Hart' c/o NOLU, PO Box 62554, London E6 9GH

PAYPAL - pleased forward £5 per badge to noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk

CASH - I will have these badges on me when we sell NOLU before the next home game on the 16th January. If anyone would like me to reserve a copy for collection on the day, please email me via noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk

Profits from these badges will benefit - deBRA www.debra.org.uk - the national charity working on behalf of people in the UK with the genetic skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Hi everyone - I’m pleased to be able to offer the fourth in our historic Millwall series of lapel pin badges. Once again we’re commemorating another great Lions side – the Third Division (S) championship team of 1937-38.

The badge is pictured below. Another championship badge, so it’s again a silver depiction of a Lion at rest on a plinth showing the main title ‘Millwall’, with the simple word ‘Champions’ above and the years 1937 and 1938 below. Both separated by our usual ‘nolu’ tag.

I know that I’m biased, but I think this pin, like our Lions head 1927-28 badge, is actually quite beautiful. I hope that as many Millwall badge collectors as possible agree, as once again we will be devoting the proceeds of the sale to the Help for Heroes charity.

There are three ways to get your copy of the 1937-38 badge:

(1) Cash - I'll be selling the badges at most of the forthcoming home games at the usual NOLU spot by the Zampa Road gate. If you’d like to pay cash and collect from me personally, email me at noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk and I'll reserve a badge for you in advance.

(2) By Pay Pal – please forward £5 per badge to noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk - also please remember to include a postal address and to say if it’s the 1910, 1927-28 or 1937-38 badge that you want..

(3) By cheque – made payable to Nick Hart c/o NOLU, PO Box 62554, London E6 9GH – again please remember to include your address and to tell me which badge that you want.

All orders will be mailed next day. Any queries please either email me at noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk or post on this thread and I’ll answer as soon as possible.

The previous badges still for sale in the historic series can be viewed at the NOLU blog: http://noluthemag.blogspot.com/ - please note that we have just a few 1910 badges left now.

Thanks for everyone’s support as always.

1927-28 Third Division (S) Championship commemorative badge - £5

Following on from our Dockers and 1910 Cold Blow Lane commemorative badges, I’m pleased to be able announce that the third in the series is now available in honour of the great Millwall championship side of 1927-28 (picture below). This badge is slightly unconventional in that I’ve gone for a silver metal finish – the gold-ish look is due to the photo being taken under electric lights. I’m trying to be a bit art deco as well with this one. See what you think – comments welcome (good or bad).

Once again we’re asking for £5 for these badges and - as always with NOLU - this is being done entirely for charity (after production and postage costs).

The beneficiary charity this time will be ‘Combat Stress’ which is the leading charity specialising in the care of British Veterans who have been profoundly traumatised by harrowing experiences during their service career. Many Veterans leave the Armed Forces with highly debilitating conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety disorders. Their problems can remain masked for years, and they and their families may be struggling to deal with matters at home. Ongoing operations across the Middle East are stretching the resources available and already the charity has seen over 300 referrals from Iraq and Afghanistan. I hope that the sale of these badges will link in with the club’s ‘Help for Heroes’ support at the home game on November 21st 2009.

I will post the final charity donation when achieved on the Millwall message boards.

There are three ways to get your copy of the 1927-28 badge:

(1) Cash - I'll be selling the badges at most of the forthcoming home games at the usual NOLU spot by Zampa Road gate. If you’ll be at the game and would like to collect from me personally, email me at noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk and I'll reserve a badge for you to pick up on the day.

(2) By Pay Pal – please forward £5 per badge to noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk - please remember to include a postal address.

(3) By cheque – made payable to Nick Hart c/o NOLU, PO Box 62554, London E6 9GH – please remember to include your address and to tell me if it’s the 1910 or the 1927-28 badge that you want. (Or both of course)

All orders will be mailed next day. Any queries please either email me at noluthemag@hotmail.co.uk or post on this thread and I’ll answer as soon as possible.

Cheers all

Badge update and NOLU *108 donation

The Cold Blow Lane 1910 badges have sold very well indeed and based on the payments so far we’ve generated a donation of about £250 to the NSPCC and Cancer Research charities via the Deloitte Just Giving page.

I am however a greedy man when it comes to our charity donations and would like to stick another £400 or so on to that donation and push close to the £700 mark. So I’ve obtained a further batch to sell at the Leeds game on October 24th. Come and find me at the Zampa Road gate as per usual if you’d like to buy one cash or don’t want to get involved in internet or bank payments etc.

Incidentally the next badge in the series will commemorate our all conquering 1927-28 Third Division South side. I hope it will prove as popular as our previous efforts.

The most recent NOLU *108 generated a donation of £178 to the Alzheimer’s Society (Just Giving receipt below) as well our continued sponsorship of the Youth team reports in the matchday programme. Including our backing of Ashley Grimes’ away kit, so far NOLU has put about £750 into Millwall FC with the prospect of that continuing on into the future. Every little helps when you’re £5 million (or whatever it is) in the red…

More news on the next NOLU *109 and the next badge in due course.

Nick
