Major Isewater Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 No this is not a racist thread iam just ,like JET,thinking outside the box so bear with me. Playing in Red does not distinguish us from the hundreds of other clubs who wear the same colour. When a photo appears of a player wearing red i imagine the vast majority of folk would think it's Man. Utd ,Liverpool or Arsenal... We seem to have a Monopoly on Purple and Lime so why don't we adopt those colours as our own and create our history so whenever people see those colours they think of the mighty Bristol City ? I wait to be shot down by the traditionalists who cling to our magnificent years full of trophies and championships won whilst playing in red.

Ok ,joking aside,no one sings "the red ,red robin" song . "Purple Army" why not ? Is there anything more inspiring than "C'mon you Reds" ? For me "Yes there is" ,i always find the chant slow and dirge like ,like the national anthem. Anyway we can be original ,why do we have to copy all the other clubs.?

Anyway we can be original ,why do we have to copy all the other clubs.? ATB, my comments were, as is usually the case, tongue in cheek. Having said that, it is interesting to see the reaction of City fans to any suggestion that ground sharing with the egg chasers might see their colours being somehow integrated. The implication being that red IS our colour. Also, I am sure I read somewhere that analysis of all league clubs found that teams wearing red are more successful than any other colour, so why buck the trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want a bit of individuality how about getting behind the scheme to get the robin back as the club badge rather than the shared coat of arms?

Anglia Red Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think we should retain Red at Home but would be happy enough to see the Purple and Lime as our main away Kit for seasons to come-it's distinctive and it's good to stand out from the crowd of boring kits out there.

I perfer the coat of arms myself, but think we should have the coat of arms on the home kit and robin on the away, then switch it every season that way fans get the best of both worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Is there anything more inspiring than "C'mon you Reds" ? Anything would be more inspiring than "C'mon you Reds". What the hell is C'mon - it should be "Come on". I'm pretty sure "C'mon Bris" was originally on a poster campaign for the egg chasers. More suited to persuading your cat to sit on your lap than inspiring sportsmen. And Bris is short for Brislington, not Bristol. Ahh, that's better.
