    The forum needs a "Nickname" and heres your chance

    Dear all,

    There has been some feedback regarding a "nickname" for the forum.
    I personally think its a great idea since our forum name is too generic.

    We need you fans to come up with a list of names for the forum that you think will suit us the best and after we have a good number of feedbacks we will vote to pick the best one.

    Bare in mind that the domain name will remain the same.
    Once the nickname has been chosen, we will put it next to the banner on the forum.

    Some of the suggestions were "The White Wall"

    Please do feel free to give us some feedback on what names you would like.

    Thanks,

    Well my suggestion was for "Chelsea White Wall".

    Initially I thought about just "White Wall", but because a lot of younger fans won't know that the White Wall was an area of the old Shed, I think it's wise to include Chelsea as part of the name.

    Then there was the Tea Bar... "Chelsea Tea Bar" anyone?

    OOH I like ChelseaTeaBar - it has a ring to it! You can imagine people popping in and out to meet friends for a chat at the tea bar. See you in the Tea Bar later, they might say to each other! Is there a song that goes with that?

    Stamford Bridge Forum? - might be a problem if and when the club relocates.

    Chelsea North Stand? - might be construed as a hooligan site

    Gate 13? - see above multiplied by 10


    I really like the Chelsea White Wall, it just sounds right to me. Must be honest, I'm not too keen on the Tea Bar idea.

    Yes, it's a bit girly, isn't it, BlueBeard? I thought that after I'd posted my comment. Chelsea White Wall sounds more manly!

    Yes I prefer "Chelsea White Wall" to "Chelsea Tea Bar". What did you think of my first attempt to come up with a new banner?

    I don't personally think my little attempt would be good enough in its current form, it's just a rough idea.

    Its nice, but I think the graphic quality is poor. Can't wait to see a new banner up there

    Any chance of a picture of the Shed, either empty or full? I know this one isn't ideal, but it's great to look at



    Judging by the hair styles and clothes worn, my guess is that picture was taken at the first game of the 1972/73 season at home to Leeds. The old East Stand had just been pulled down, yet there were over 51,000 people in the Bridge that day - with just three sides of the ground open. Best of all, we won 4-0!

    Happy Days, BlueBeard.

    I like Hutchinson's banner. I know very little about graphics so if the graphoc quality can be improved, could Realisoph show us an improved version, so that I have something to compare, please.

    So I guess everyone is okay with "White Wall"

    How about "Chelsea White Wall"

    Do you think, I should make a banner next to the original?

    or

    Modify the original to include "Chelsea White Wall"

    One idea would be to modify the original, Chelsea in Yellow, White Wall in white, bring the Lion & Staff logo down so that it's level with "White Wall" rather than above, and with the URL, www.chelseafcforum.com, underneath.

    Or you could start from scratch. What do other people think?

    Okay im happy with that. What about Torres?
    Shall we keep him? or is it giving him bad luck?

    Torres needs to make his own luck!

    I'm not exactly sure, I think the best think to do is experiment, see what looks best. Things you could try include a Lion & Staff logo at each end, Torres at one end, logo on the other.

    Unfortunately, it appears that the old logo, the one designed by Ted Drake, is still under copyright:

    I made a draft banner. Need some feedback please.



    Also we need a slogan to go with it, anyone?
