CyderInACan Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 For a club that attracted so much media attention worldwide for the modern goal gifs last season, bringing back an old badge such as this is surely a backward step? I remember the kits with the robin badge on fondly, my first top being the red home top when the badge was in the middle, but it’s a bit, well, crap looking through 21st century eyes.

Kid in the Riot Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Out of interest, does anyone know if there has been any supporter consultation on this?? @Dollymarie @Blagdon red Or am I right in assuming there is no consultation on any significant issues anymore ie changing the name of the rugby club, season ticket prices etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think it’s harsh to criticise “no consultation” on this. Especially if it’s not even a choice, if rights to use the Bristol coat of arms has been revoked, then this (or a version of it) is the only natural replacement. Only if it’s significantly modernised/changed, should there definitely have been consultation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure they have the means to a new looking image somewhere..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge Batch Red Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 2 hours ago, Robin TBW said: Awful, outdated, ugly and laughable. Anyone saying this is original only have to look at all the other teams called the Robins to work out it's not at all. It's truly horrible and to have such an outdated logo to front a team looking to move forwards into the future is massively confusing. If you're going to get the Robin back, modernise it. Don't just place the old one on a new kit. That's like me putting those doiley things my Nan had on the arms of her sofa onto a new leather corner sofa facing a 60" TV... Bollocks to the Robin. Bore off crest man - you’re history now -just like your unloved council badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I like the Robin badge but prefer the Bristol Coat of arms. Doesn't look like the Robin will feature on the home kit or the teaser would have been released on a red shirt? I'd be happy with the Coat of arms on the home kit and Robin on the Black away kit.

Bristol Rob Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 People. I have the solution. One that will keep everyone happy. Think back to the 80s and the use of lenticular images on things, (I seem to remember having a ruler in my pencil case at school that you could move and it would either show Snoopy asleep on top of his kennel or standing next to it). Back then it was like having a telly on you. So we adopt this aged tech on the badge and then we can have both on the shirt. For those wondering, I think I swapped the ruler for a highlighter pen.

I'd be very surprised if there was more than one badge. The club needs a single identify for all the different places the badge appears - not only on the shirt, but at the stadium, on the website, in print - even that bit at the start of the TV highlights. It's possible I suppose that the badge may just be a motif that appears somewhere on the shirt, with the existing crest retained. But even that I think is unlikely. If they take a common sense approach to the marketing (which is by no means guaranteed with our club), then personally I think it needs to be all or nothing. I've said before that the crest is dated and doesn't look great in digital form. However I'm not convinced this dated robin design fits the bill either. I was expecting a modern version in the Brentford mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
