I actually feel pretty emotional seeing back!! Lets hope it can bring us the same fortunes as the it did back then. It wasn’t the most successful time in our history but it was brill and I too loved that badge and still do.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm honestly gutted, I can accept the Robin, albeit unwillingly, but that badge is outdated and awful in design. I won't be buying a kit this season or any memorabilia etc I would have much preferred a compromise of a well designed, newer Robin badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a modernised version announced soon. Not ITK, just opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I prefer the coat of arms, but nothing wrong with a change, especially to something that has place in our history already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never say never that is true, but the rugby only did it as they were more or less obliged to do so after the Premiership sponsors who are American I believe wanted to sell it to the US. It seems the US viewers are used to teams with names/brands and all the gimmicks that comes with that. Football is a strong enough brand on its own, named after cities, towns, villages etc on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIDER NOT CIDRE Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Laav it! Bit more personal than the current crest; more Bristol City, than Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems strange and kind of wrong that neither the football club or the rugby club have this in some form now. Rememberhow the kit was revealed once, bit by bit, little teasers every day. Are we all jumping to the conclusion that this will be the main badge for our club. I bet it appears in a less prominent position on the shirt somewhere.

ExiledAjax Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I like it. I like that it is more distinctive. However, I would have taken the opportunity to modernise it just a little bit. Not sure how, but I might have just made a few tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwickshire Red Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Great to see the robin back. While not as iconic for me as the 76 badge, it’s infinitely better than the insipid coat of arms. well done, the club/BS/Jon L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not against a "re-brand" per se, but it needs to be modernised not just a copy and paste job from something that looked alright in the 1970s.

ChippenhamRed Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I’m not saying I don’t like it, but I’m very surprised it’s not a modern update along the lines of Brentford’s new badge. There’s a fine line between retro-cool and just plain old dated. Not entirely sure which side this falls yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handsofclay Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Fantastic news and no mention, it seems, on the badge of 18 bl**dy 97! Well done the Lansdowns. It only takes for England to win the world cup now to top this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Hope this is windup, because it’s naff and always was. Nothing against the robin and bridge themselves but the design is just dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivorguy Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I am really fed up with club’s silly and insulting pr Either make a proper announcement of kit and badge or keep quiet There must be kids working at Ashton Gate who find it funny to wind us up message to them - it isn’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brizzlecityfc Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 How on earth anyone can even like the BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL badge over the beautiful robin i have no idea.

BRISTOL86 Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Really hope that’s an old pic and it’s going to be a revamp based on it. If that’s on the actual kit it looks like something my Nan would embroidered in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
