Just to elaborate on what loweman2 said, my understanding is that the badge was divided into 3 to symbolize the 3 elements that make up a football club: The owner, the team and management and then the supporters. Undoubtedly we are called the Rams after the folklore which spawned the traditional old English song 'Derby Ram'. Why this has not been adopted as our anthem has always puzzled me? There are some funky versions of it on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
