Bar BS3 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 38 minutes ago, Malaggro is back said: Well I disagree. Rebranding, what a load of s**t. It's a bleeding football club and not a chocolate bar morphing from a Marathon to a Snickers. There is tradition and tradition is priceless. MK Dons do not have a tradition, aside from the theft of another club's tradition. If you have a tradition you guard it closely. Also, I suspect there is an element of truth in what Dopey gets up. Would you not class our only ever FA Cup final appearance as a fairly big part of our Heritage/history and therefore acceptable on which to develop "traditions" Very much like the case of probably never having seen Purple & Lime again had we not worn it on one epic night at Anfield.

No I don't think I would have been. It very much depends on the "Blue" though. Many thing reminiscent of "Rovers Blue" and I'd be against it. If it was "Bristol Rugby" dark blue, then I'd have no problem with it atall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfred Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Why, when there are four or five other colours that could be used without controversy, should the club choose blue? It is unnecessary and is only ever likely to cause issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

42nite Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 So, is there anybody out there that has any realistic clue as to what the away kit will look like? (Colours and design) Or is it down to just guessing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody in the shop seems to have a clue when the new ones might be in, so that would be next best option until they are available. Sorry I've got another nipper who will fit it soon and also I keep and collect all the old kits. When I have my City museum in the future they will all be in frames on the wall - please don't tell my Mrs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people think Ultra has other connotations (realistically it does in the eyes of non football fans) and many people can cope and may even want City in a dark blue away kit.

I have yet to meet any City fans who were not bemused at the banning of the words Ultra (a former City fanzine), Wurzel and Loyal after they were in view in one stand for years. Any fan who thinks the above words are more contentious than wearing the colour of our neighbours is naïve in the extreme. That is comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll agree to disagree, words on flags or a colour, let's face it, the two positions are both a little embarrassing and petty in the grand schemes of things.

I for one would like us to celebrate a proper bit of history being an FA Cup final in dark blue rather than the fact we beat Liverpool in purple and lime which everyone got so excited about.

On page three of this thread there are some articulate and even posts from a member of the Supporters Club and Trust. The Supporters Club and Trust have forewarned Bristol Sport on what appears to be a real possibility. That is respectful to many Bristol City fans.

Whilst a valid point you raise, it's also worth pointing out this was all over 100 years ago and not be repeated in any great length since Would we REALLY try and justify the use of blue on this basis?

Said person who was looking into the design went off to redesign That was a number of weeks ago, if you look into the timeline of discussions about the change kit you will see this. Updated design ??
