The Brighton and Hove crest has INTER UNDAS ET COLLES FLOREMUS - “Between Downs and Sea We Flourish”.

Seems pretty perfect to me.

Probably not a popular view on here, but I wish we were still called the Dolphins. Or the Martlets for that matter.

"cognoscens me, cognoscens te"

Would look great on a shirt badge or a tie and blazer set

We need that centurion from Life of Brian. He'd soon sort out the grammar.

I had a great idea but have forgotten it upon reading through the thread. Old age is a bummer.

I'll just go with:

Et tu, Jamie?

Given that we don't win trophies, I don't think so.

Something about adversity.
