Huddersfield Town - Cartoon Champions


12/24 of Cartoon Champions halfway through with lots more still to come. We end the first half with @htafc who became the first English club to win three successive English League titles in 1926, a feat which only three other clubs have matched. 

The design for this was an easy choice it had to be a Yorkshire Terrier of course. ‘The Terriers’ was introduced in the 1969/70 season by promotions manager Bill Brooke, looking for something to both symbolize and exemplify that true Yorkshire grit and determination, he happened upon Skippy, a Yorkshire Terrier owned by Colin Fisher of Honley. As well as incorporating the keyword`Yorkshire’ in its name and in spite of its small stature, the Yorkie is renowned for being naturally aggressive and, some would say, yappy. 


BINGO! A perfect fit and the rest, as they say, is history. In 2017, Town’s maiden season in the English Premier League, charismatic German Head Coach David Wagner would frequently remind critics of the club’s underdog status by referencing the statement, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight; it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” I also decided to add a knights helmet as the current club badge is based on the coat of arms of Huddersfield it seemed only right to represent this in some fashion in this design.
