The Lodge Tie: A Founding Memento

A members’ tie created to carry the Lodge emblem and remember the founding of No. 10063.

Among the items prepared for the Consecration of Football Lodge South West was a members’ tie created especially for the new Lodge.

A shared identity

The approved founding programme describes the Lodge emblem woven into silk to form a subtle repeating pattern. It was intended to be worn at Lodge meetings and to give members a shared symbol of the identity they were creating together.

A memento of the inaugural gathering

The tie was also presented as a memento of the inaugural gathering: something practical that could continue to recall the bonds formed as Football Lodge South West began.

Football in the details

Alongside the football-boot gavels and the founding squad team sheet, the tie shows how the Lodge’s visual identity was carried through even the smallest details of the Consecration.
