It is dreadful marketing because it annoys many and merely adds to those of us who really don't like or approve of the way BS works - ticket fiasco, January fiasco, Alan Baker's leaving, JL tweeting, the list goes on and on it all reeks of an amateur approach. I don't wish to go back to some illusory golden age, although it must be said that the 1950s with Big John, do have a golden haze about them. What I wish for is a professional outfit fit for purpose in 2018. Frankly I am pushed to see it in the day to day running of BS/BCFC, from pr to scouting. I am fully aware that many on otib see this as negative but some of us see it as positive, in keeping alive the spirit, or in modern jargon the DNA, of Bristol City, which will be here long after all of us, including BS are long gone COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I smell LK in this too. Amateur hour. Perhaps one of the reasons Adam felt compelled to leave? I’ve got my hands on the Zapruder film, the new kit promo was shot somewhere between the Grassy Knoll and the Book Depository. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely loathe the look of that kit...just plain nasty. Yes, I totally agree, I don't want to look like a rugby league team! I like the mock up that Spike did earlier in this spread. Last season's kit will be hard to follow… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 My fave kit ever - the Mick Harford era one. My fave kit of recent - the away one for 15/16, black with the stripe. I would love to see a white away kit in this style. But ultimately, i’m Not that fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe they would make a big song and dance about putting the robin on leisurewear. It’s already been on leisurewear in the recent past. If that is the case, I don’t like it. Personally I think we should have a clear identity in the form of a single badge. Anything else is just confusing. What logo do Sky use when we’re playing away? A different one to when we’re home? Think of any major brand - Apple, for example - and they have one logo that is synonymous with the company. correct, any brand worth it's salt needs a consistent brand image. Imo, the club will continue with the coat of arms for Sky tv, EFL etc, and the robin will just be for the away shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly bothered about the kit or badge tbh. What bothers me, personally, is that it appears to be a plaything for Jon Lansdown. I’m assuming he is behind it, given the overuse of “Announce”. Annoy is probably the wrong word, but it’s my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 Another teaser reveal for the kit today. Here’s what I know [spoilers! Don’t read on if you’re awaiting the full reveal]: the new away kit is black and white and features the Robin badge. The home kit just has a classic badge. Have heard mixed reviews of the new home kit. Different badges on different kits? Has it been done before? From Gregor mcwhatshisface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing Sorry, a senior moment. However, rather typically of otib, you don't engage with the points made. Final Suggestion you should read a recent Guardian article which says the problem with modern football fans is that as long as the football is reasonably ok they care nothing for how clubs and leagues, and FIFA are run. This smacks to me of being linked with the phenomenon of the rise of European populism. A dangerous road indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoy is probably the wrong word, but it’s my problem. Is Jon Lansdown is the man responsible for fans of all clubs using "Announce" all over Twitter? Or are the club just merely engaging with a new "trend"? Seems like some people think JL is more influential on things than Donald Trump right now.

The whole point for the sponsor is to get their name out there. It's not some sort of social status for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
