this needs to be deleted - the logo is of a defunct british club from halifax in west yorkshire (founded in 1960), and not of a club from montserrat.

there is basically no football activity anymore on montserrat since a volcanic eruption destroyed most of the island and a majority of the population left, so that chapter ia closed.

 

i have come across a number of graphcs here where people uploaded wrong images out of laziness or possibly trolling, zhis is one of those cases.

 

i would have thought that we don't add or retain logos based on assumptions and without proof, but no issue - noted.

I found this and this website stating it's from Montserrat, so people uploading it here are not guilty for laziness or trolling.

In my opinion, the most likely scenario here is that they basically just stole the logo. Nothing unusual or new, especially when you're dealing with smaller clubs from minor leagues. I'd stick with what we have.

no offense, but you don’t seem to know anything about the history of montserrat - most of the island was pretty much made uninhabitable in 1997 after a volcanic eruption. they had league competitions only sporadically before that.

 

after the eruption, most of the population left and there are between 4 to 6 clubs in total, salem fc is not among them. as a matter of fact, there is no proof or verified source that his particular club ever existed.

 

they had six championships in total after that, the last one being played in 2018:

the british club, on the other hand, only started its online presence around 2012:

https://x.com/salemfc

 

either way, there is no indicator that the club, whose existence hasn’t even been proven, has taken a british lower league club’s logo. implying that it’s the most »likely scenario« is a huge stretch, to put it mildly, even more so without any evidence supporting this claim.

 

the logo is of the british club, end of story.

keeping it for the montserratian club in spite of that and trying to rationalize why it won’t be removed means that factual correctness is not of import here outside the so-called popular or major clubs and competitions, which saves me a lot of time, as i don’t have to correct entries any further.

 

the »copying without verifying sources« statement finds its confirmation here, funnily enough → just yesterday, a brazilian football logo blogger uploaded the british club’s logo and credited it to the phantom montserrat club instead:

sorry, but this is exactly what it is.

seeklogo or pinterest are not reliable sources for anything. anybody who just picked it up because they found it on one of those sites hasn’t done proper research.

 

either way, i made my point. keep the logo, even though it’s wrong.
