Don't know if this is a recent amendment, but the NUFC wiki page now states the club was formed in 1881

 

 

 

In fairness, if it is a simplification, I could live with that.

I'm not pfussed either way about getting a new badge. I certainly don't think it's evidence of the owners "destroying our legacy" like some tits on Twitter think

Im far more bothered that no one can seem to get "black and white stripes" on a home shirt correct than I am about the badge.

 

It wont be an eyesore because modern design isnt really interesting enough to produce an eyesore so it'll be reyt.

I think someone on here recently said that the 1892 figure was only invented so we could sell a load of centenary tat back in 92. A bit before my time.

1892 is the year Newcastle  East End  took over the lease of Newcastle West End’s ground at Leazes Park and East End’s name was changed to Newcastle United. West End ceased to exist after that. East End were founded as Stanley FC in Byker in 1881 which would appear to be the true founding date of the club we see today. This has been pointed out a few times recently by people who wish to appear clever on the internet/football history fascists. Don’t particularly remember lots of 1892 tat being produced, only the failed share offer

1881 is the correct date but officially it was 1882. They officially changed the name in late 1891 iirc but again, officially it was classed as 1892. I've a programme from the 80s and the club is founded in 1882 on that and also some NUFC picture I had as a kid. The first I'd heard the club mention 1892 as the official line was in 1992 which was an excuse for something to shout about for a club in the 2nd division. I did think the pre season tournament that year between us, Boro, Real Sociedad and Sporting was something to do with it but that was called the 'Newcastle Exhibition super challenge cup' apparently? I do recall a few people scratching their heads, me included at the 1892 figure because as stated, it was officially classed as 1882.

This is where we need Noelie back to hear from someone who was there at the time.
