B.A.B. - Football Club Shields with Gold Border

1970s

Football Club Shields with Gold Borders
29 known

This collection might be a complete set, any additions most welcome. These are much rarer than the usual B.A.B. Football Club Shield stickers. Most of these also include the clubs nickname. The illustration above comes from my database of B.A.B. stickers and I'll be including more of these over the coming weeks.

UPDATE (13-3-2021 17:00): Phil Wells has provided photos of all the Gold Bordered stickers in his collection and I've been able to add a couple more, so this gives me an opportunity to consolidate all the posts relating to this collection into one. Any new stickers will be added. Thanks to Mark Avenell for his help too.

These are usually identified as being issued by B.A.B., and because of this I've listed them as such. But they are unlikely to have been issued by that company. They were probably issued by a company called Northern Trancessories, based in Leeds. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of loose connection between the two companies though.
Some clubs are shown more than once. It is always a good idea to check every B.A.B. sticker you come across as there are often variations in colour or layout. New versions are found quite regularly.

UPDATE (26-01-2021 14:00): As part of an ongoing exercise to reduce the number of posts relating to the various B.A.B. and Northern Trancessories stickers, prompted by the large amount of excellent photos provided by Phil Wells, here are all the recorded rosette stickers of this type so far recorded. Some of the older images are very poor, especially Carlisle United, Portsmouth and York City. The stickers are unnumbered and are only numbered here because it's the easiest way to keep a count of them. From now on any new stickers that come to light will be added here instead of creating new posts for them.
