Whatever happened to our Latin motto that was a part of our previous logo?

"men sana in corpore sano" (A healthy mind in a healthy body)

Has this been dropped from the club completely and lost to history or is it around the club still?

Just curious and wondering if anyone had any info?
 
It went with the "shield" motif when they updated the logo. It hasn't been lost, it's just been put away. The shield motif still looks good, but it's never been front and square on a jumper. It does make a great lapel badge, and "Mens sana in corpore sano" still comes up as a shibboleth for true supporters.

The new logo is much simpler and down to the core graphic elements of CFC and navy blue. That's a common direction for corporate logos. It looks great and it's relatively easy to reproduce.

For real? I was certain it translated as...'The coyote of the desert likes to eat the heart of the young and the blood drips down to his children for breakfast, lunch and dinner and only the ribs will be broken'.

Me too. What's the deal? :confused:

Healthy mind, healthy body? At least we know why Thorpe was never going to wear the navy blue.

Splash some Sex Panther on the logo ........ 60% of the time it works all the time.
