A Roy of the Rovers kit related question

Its name means Bishop Big Balls in German.

First team I ever played for had similar kit to that Torquay one except with blue shorts instead.

It's the end of days, that sponsor's logo and its placement.

Thanks Simon and Ray for the explanation. Obviously, it looks more like a rebrand reversal than I originally thought. Not being a supporter (although, from experience, they aren't always the best judges of these situations), I am not in a place to comment but have to say that the move away from the Tiger badge is welcome. I think that the Hull City saga has prejudiced me against them.

[Felicity, I guess so]

Yes, as that and the Union example show, it was a popular motif in the DDR

Here are Vorwarts Frankurt (Oder) with the badge to the outside of the stripe.

And in the West, too, as the Bayern and Aachen examples show and one of my favourite Gladbach kits is early 70s white with green and black conjoined off-centre single stripes. I have it as a fridge magnet but can’t find an image...
