durhamred13 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Could we not have it between the shoulder blades like the Hillsborough flame thing that Liverpool shirts have?

Tom Fleuriot Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Classic bristol rugby and rovers badge? Lets have a proper football badge! It hasn't been a Rovers badge for over 25 years: http://thebeautifulhistory.wordpress.com/clubs/bristol-rovers/. My logic is that Bristol rugby has the coat of arms because they're the Bristol rugby team. We should have it because we're the only team in Bristol. Having looked into it, I didn't realise how long we had the robin (http://thebeautifulhistory.wordpress.com/clubs/bristol-city/). I suppose I wouldn't take offence if it was the classic robin and suspension bridge, and was well-drawn. But some of the robin versions are really tacky. I'm not sure why the city's coat of arms is not a "proper football badge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everreddy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Robin: no more relevance to our club than to Cheltenham, swindon, and all the others who "claim" it as their own!

Warwickshire Red Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 As I see it voting for on the badge also means on the shirt as the badge is on the shirt. Shouldn't these be votes be merged? Probably easier if straight yes/no vote. Definitely for the robin/gate badge as much more distinctive and iconic. Bristol coat of arms could apply to any Bristol team and is plain boring. Even the Rovers badge is more interesting than our current badge! The badges of teams like Wolves and Forest are far more memorable and identifiable than badges with coats of arms and that's what I felt we had with the robin badge. Would need club/Trust to be involved for this to get anywhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 As others have said, too many other robins around for it to be distinctive. Could we have unicorn as mascot instead of the current emaciated flea bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakoe Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I do like the robin/bridge badges but I think it should be the Bristol coat of arms for the one team in Bristol. They've got that transvestite thing with a sword, we've got the crest. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I would like to keep the Bristol Coat of arms (as do most supporters) I would not however burst into tears if one of the unicorns somehow morphed into a Robin supporting our City's badge.

Not sure we know what most supporters think on this. Opinions on here are only a small snapshot. Would probably need a matchday vote to gauge opinion.
