Will the relationship with Willem end post Brexit? 

Don't want people who voted leave to feel deceived if they donated to the flag fund.

It’s not Willem, Rob, it’s Willem II. I’d imagine that’s akin to calling us Bristol instead of Bristol City. 

Anyway. Brexit won’t happen so it’s all good. 

Apart from the ADA bit which hardly draws favourable comparisons

Blimey - talk about clutching at straws for an extreme representation

My initial thought was that it was a reference to Ada Lovelace the mathematician.

Which is probably why I didn't get the reference.

Not really - it’s the first result on google

This but with a flare instead of flowers.  With S82 on the bloke somewhere.  No Pyro, No Party. 

I think you kind of missed the artistic point of the Banksy piece

 Amigos Dos Amigos translates to Friends of Friends

It actually translates literally to Friends Two Friends. Friends of Friends would be Amigos de Amigos. So not really sure what it's intended to say...

How about a Willem ii flag.

in fact while we're at it, why dont we change our name to willem iii

Quite like a Willem II flag. It can be more than just about money and the players on the pitch.

I think it would be cool to get a more recent player on a flag. No disrespect intended, but there's a large proportion of our fans who haven't seen Bristol City legends of years gone by (such as Atyeo or Gow) play live or on video footage.

Perhaps someone like Louis Carey - there's this great image of him with blood coming from one of his eyes during his final season for the club. Might resonate with more of the crowd.

 

Great pic, we actually had this made into a 2 pole flag in one of the first batches done. Unfortunately (like quite a few since) it grew legs and ran away...

That was a flag once, got stolen.

Rough design i did

[Lew-T]

The revival of City, from this man. Flag for this guy would be nice perhaps?

[Lew-T]

Flag ideas:

- Old legends/heroes of the club, players and managers (like the Atyeo flag).

- Flag that contains purple and lime. It’s ours now, make it our own in section 82.

- “Ashton Gate 8 Never Forget” something similar to that perhaps? Again it’s our history.

- The angry robin works I think, it shows the aggression and surely a home advantage. Maybe a surfer flag could work? The away end and opposition will see it that way.

- “Terry Cooper revival - City are back”

- Alan Dicks appreciation

- Might be premature but the lad has started well, flag for Weimann? And also the song works so well! Bob Marley with Weimann’s face - “ No Weimann No Cry”

I’m not particularly into designs myself but here are a few ideas maybe? Keep up the good work @James

 

[WolfOfWestStreet]

Gas masks. Lots of them. 

[54-46]

A massive version of the Div 1 badge would get my vote 

[cider-manc]

 Sure someone can do a better job than me at this but something along these lines would be good imo....

Ticker counter, updated each season.

Was thinking the same mate,, fans and club almost seem reluctant to honour his services , a nice guy who done so  much for the club with no money    

[lenred]

Could you get a flag designed using the Massive Attack Blue Lines album cover as the inspiration what with Rob being a huge City fan (we're thanked in the sleeve notes)? Would also cover off the Banksy angle as well

Agree 

could be time for a ticker down the front for number of days since gas were above us 

[The Exiled Robin]

Like the Mind the Gap ticker one, keep that number rolling over.

Some purple and lime would be good as that’s becoming our lucky kit. Perhaps Tinnion’s goal strike moment vs Liverpool.

Also love Hallyink’s new tshirts, @James - he might even let you use it on a one-off flag if it helps promote the image he’s created and create awareness to sell merchandise off the back of?

I didn't, mate.  Juxtapositioning.

I agree with your suggestions especially Terry Cooper, it must be done. Also I would like to see a bristol south end flag with it's true date, just to remind our club where we came from. Hope @James is taking these suggestions by everyone on board.

[Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan]

I think flags with important players/managers from the club’s history always look classy, like the Gow and Murray flags.

Great suggestions for a flag for Terry Cooper and Alan Dicks. 

IMO the simple designs look the best, I think supporters groups in Europe do these things really well and both of the Willem II flags posted earlier are good examples of this.
