Nbafc Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Great link thanks, interesting to me as a romantic old fart plus helping me pass time while waiting for a bus! At the risk of opening a can of worms think the first paragraph about Bury's old badge applies to us. God I loved football back in the 80s and that kind of article brings back fond memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Heres an article on yahoo about defunct football club badges, in their opinion which was the best and worse, Of course City's Robin badge comes out well and is number six in the list. https://uk.yahoo.com/sports/news/14-amazing-football-club-badges-154722880.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 It'd be so good to have it back though, more 'ours' than the City crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One BCFC Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I completely disagree that Swindon would have anything that is classed better than ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love a bit of nostalgia, some absolute beauts on there NBAFC - I've trotted out the same line for years now, our badge is so generic, it could be anyone. Interestingly, Bury is always one of the clubs I liken it to Time for the robin to come back. JL put a poll on twitter a while back asking for thoughts on whether the fans wanted to see coat of arms or robin in the future, can't say I can remember seeing the results of the vote.

Tom Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Went for the badge, went and read something a little too real....: 4. Leicester City (1983-1992) Leicester’s flowery effort of today has existed in one guise or another since the beginning of football in 1992, but in the mythical BS years (Before Sky), the East Midlands outfit experimented like The Doors in a drugstore. A few dire designs were produced over the years before the club landed on this effort in 1983. ‘The walking fox’ tends to split opinion, with some people loving the unusual design and other people being wrong. It’s certainly far more eye-catching than the dog-in-a-ruff badge that Leicester’s players now wear, and for such a basic design it’s very evocative, outlining an urban fox glancing your way as you stumble towards the side of a desolate road to await the night bus home to your cigarette-burned memories of her. She just needed some space, she said. Now the bed is so cold. Next bus: 34 mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Robin, classy no fuss kit...memories of Gerry Gow etc...win win. What's not to like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember? Totally agree Woodsy although know its been done & people on here have put effort into trying. I am biased as it sat proudly on the shirts of early/mid 80s when I first came to the gate. That said, its a no brainer the Robin should be there now. Bold, proud, instantly recognizable & bespoke. Perhaps the crest serves other purposes, which is a shame but a little more understandable. Would our Robin badge have been a 'shiny' in Panini albums back in the days of top flight football? If so bet it looked f@#*ing ace (Remember that Sheff Weds one did!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gert Mare Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Robin all day long. That badge was instantly recognisable as the badge of Bristol City. It encompasses both the best and worst times in our history. It took us to Wembley under Joe Jordan and to the Semi-Final of the League Cup. The coat of arms just doesn't do it for me and it never has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
