Club Branding

At the beginning of the Fiscal Year 2018-19, Lion President Brian expressed the need to acquire a Club Pin for the illustrious Port of Spain North, a venture which was initiated in past years but was never officially realised. The current Programme and Communication Committee, headed by Lion Clarence, quickly jumped at the task.

The first burning issue on the docket was what emblems should be used to symbolise the Club. Initial ideas brought places such as Queens Hall and Fort George into the conversation. However, they did not successfully inculcate the beauty and tradition of Trinidad and Tobago. A suggestion was brought forward by Lion Gerard which would spark the commencement and execution of the design phase:

The Hummingbird - An emblem symbolising our cosmopolitan beauty and also immortalises the saying “The Land of the Hummingbird.”

The Pan - The birthplace of pan is in Port of Spain whether Laventille, Belmont or “Round d’ Bridge,’ the first strokes of music were brought to life in the Capital City. Port of Spain has many pan sides that are historical and also still exist today.

The Colour - The committee then agreed that the pan should be chrome and silver to symbolise the steelpan in its truest form. The red, white and black are just a reminder of our home, our flag and our nation—Trinidad and Tobago.

The Upper and Lower Crests - These were decided by our General membership, the top shows our charter year while the bottom states our forever motto.

Our first delivery of the pin was received on 1st November, 2018 which was issued in both gold and silver.
