( Established 1970 )
| By 1978, the Swifts had also introduced badges on their
shirts. The original badge of the Club was designed by Peter Vannucci and had as it’s centre piece a shield based on the Bangor Coat of Arms. The central part of the shield was Yellow with two Blue Swift birds in flight; on either side were a set of four Blue and White waves. On either side of the shield were two White footballs trimmed in Blue and above was a White scroll with the year 1970 in Blue. All the above items were placed on a Yellow diamond shaped background bordered by the name “Bangor Swifts Football Club” in Blue. A set of 100 badges were ordered from Umbro and they were printed on a continuous length of material which had to be cut and trimmed. This proved to be a arduous job for player Tony McErlain’s wife who had the thankless task of attaching the badges to four kits, namely the new Blue with Yellow sleeves, the old Yellow, Blue and White shirts. The remainder of the badges were used up when they were subsequently attached to three kits purchased in the early eighties. At that time, the Swifts were one of the few Junior Football Clubs who had badges on their shirts and were also one of the last not to have advertisements across their chests. |

In the summer of 1982, the Swifts bought
two sets of Nottingham Forest away replica jerseys had the Forest
logo printed on their chest. To cover this up, a new Swifts badge
was introduced. |
