Dave Deacon Posted June 3 Report Share Posted June 3 From :- Head of Media & Communications, Truro City Football Club. Truro City can reveal a new and updated crest ahead of club’s return to Cornwall in a new playing facility for the 2024-25 season. Subtle changes have been made to the branding which the club have used for the past six years. Truro Cathedral is now rendered in black on a white background with the St Piran’s flag sitting below the city’s most prominent landmark. The main aesthetic features of the crest are no longer housed within a shield and they are given greater prominence than seen previously. The white tiger will no longer feature on any club crest or associated branding and this will also see Truro City drop the White Tigers moniker, given its lack of historical connections with the club and the Duchy as a whole. Truro will readopt its original nickname of the Tinners whilst also using City, to reflect the club’s status as Cornwall’s only city club. The change of nickname will be reflected across all the club’s written material with immediate effect. This new crest is the first of many exciting announcements ahead of Football Coming Home, with season tickets for next season going on sale this Friday, June 7.

St Darren Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Truro just need to represent themselves, they don’t represent Truro. Embrace the fact that they’re the only City in Cornwall rather than trying to link to any Cornish Heritage. The club cut ties with Cornwall a few years ago!!

Jeremy Wade Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 I think the badge looks great. With the new ground and move back to Kernow, its shows intent and desire to reconnect with the area and bring in local fans that have been lost since the move out of the City & County. I wasn't aware the "old" nickname was the Tinners...but also wasn't aware you could change your own... so from now on going forward, you can call me "Night Hawk" 🤣 JW (NH) Yourhavingalaugh, Thecupfootballblogger, GRTourist and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Pethick Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Would suggest that if Truro City want to adopt a nickname that truly represents Cornwall's industrial present and future, they call themselves the "second home owners."

Thecupfootballblogger Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 In the interests of good PR how about a Tinners Trophy every pre-season between St Just and Truro City XI, at one venue one year and the other the next?

deancourt Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 Are they adopting the nickname "the tinners" in recognition of the bus service which will bring the thousands of supporters (like me) to the ground from the soccer-starved Camborne area? mattelot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son Of Lineker Posted June 4 Report Share Posted June 4 In keeping with the theme of ' connecting with the County ' maybe Steve Curnow should change his name to Steve Kernow ! On a serious note good to see the club badge/crest looking more like it used to and going back to play in traditional Red and Black stripes. The more they can do to distance themselves from anything to do with the Heaney years the better,good luck for the season.

I was referring to the off-field financial mess,obviously the money attracted a higher standard of player and that's what got them to the heights of today.Was hoping that didn't need to be explained but hey-ho. They are clearly erasing any links to that era by changing the kit,dropping the stupid nickname and changing the badge/crest and a return to Cornwall is the ideal time to do it.

Craze Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Its time to get behind one Cornish team, like they do in Norfolk/Norwich. I completely understand local rivalries, but Truro's success could also be good for other teams. There could/should be a win/win - and I think to a certain degree thats already showing unless its a coincidence that a number of other Cornish sides are making strong progress/competing at their highest ever level.

I think there’s a ceiling for the clubs though especially with the talent pool there currently is in Cornwall. I remember Chris Thomas talking about having one ‘senior’ club in Cornwall that the good players fed into, and that was probably 30 years ago he said that.

I remember Chris Thomas talking about having one ‘senior’ club in Cornwall that the good players fed into, and that was probably 30 years ago he said that. And its a sound plan, just noone has committed fully/properly to it. The Truro fans with a brain recognise the following: Success has largely been bought and therefore acquired through luck - but show me any recent footballing success story that hasn't been bought... The current status though has been maintained through a lot of hardwork and the good fortune has been paid back by the hard yards the faithful fans have put in travelling around the country Previous owners have done virtually nothing for the clubs image with regards to growing the support nor endearing themselves to the Cornish populous To even have a chance at further success and sustainable, the club needs to grow the fanbase and put a deep rooted, concerted effort into developing young players that can play at National League (and higher standard). Those that don't make it will then hopefully have the option to continue their careers in Cornwall Supporting Truro City isn't going to be for everyone, and thats fine. Fingers crossed we're moving into a golden age for Cornish football, a team operating higher up the ladder is long overdue, as is a real, and clear pathway for promising youngsters to go and make a successful career for themselves either at home or elsewhere in the pyramid.

Completely agree with this except that the club should be Falmouth! Already the best-supported team in the county. Best ground. Most history and only two levels behind Truro now with a much more sustainable model. (Accept that there may be some bias here! In reality, no one with much integrity is going to put aside long-held loyalty to support any team other than their own and believing any different is pie in the sky. Best bet is to get the PR spot-on and attract new young fans with no previous history of supporting any other Cornish club, but suspect that will be a long process. Don't know how the club will support itself in the mean-time) By the way, don't really think that the current success of the other Cornish teams has anything to do with Truro City, other than that they got there first. The difference being that Truro ended up sacrificing their ground and almost their whole existence to get to the level they are at now. Still don't see how they can remain there without financing from their owners and still don't understand why the owners continue to plough the money in. What do they get out of it? All that being said, wish Truro well and hope they find a way to survive and succeed. Deano, mattelot, Porker and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
