Hence why I also thought the horn was a huge abstract eye. The changing club badge might be a reason so many of us are blown away by the (better looking) little eye that gives the ram a 'I'm going to nut you' look... Hi Maza, the badge has always been designed to have the aggressive Ram stance. Can you join the queue for therapy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The amount of people who thought that was an eye is genuinely astounding. I assume none of those people have actually seen a ram, perhaps believing we invented them? EDIT: due to curiosity I have discovered that the emblem on Derby's wikipedia page does not have the eye on it - this needs to be corrected by someone with more time to do such things than I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nominated it for "Thread of the Year" over in "The Pub". Just incredible and hilarious to read what some fans were thinking. We're told (I think) that @BurtonRam7is off the forum because he's revising for exams, but surely it's really down to the shame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Genius. I still cannot see how it is possible to think the horn part is the eye. Shame does linger for a long while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Tbf I thought the curly thing was an eye for my whole childhood until one day I saw it differently... never see it the same way afterward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Oh my Lord! I've seen the odd "in-joke" reference to eyes on here, but now I know what it was all about, my flabber is absolutely gasted! How the actual tuck could anyone think the horn was an eye? That is just weird! I too was drawing this daily throughout the '70's, all off by heart, not copying (I couldn't do it now, without tracing paper! LOL!) and always got it bang on, including the actual eye, and even the hint of a smile, and at no stage never ever did I consider the horn to be an eye! It was always rampant, it was always in attack mode, and it always had it's eye on the ball! Anything else is simply incomprehensible! Freaks!
