Yozzarian Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Don't think it is a ploy @RedM although granted, it is good timing. This re-brand was always coming, especially considering how well the Bristol Bears brand announcement went overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, where's the 1894 option? Bristol South End and Bedminster form an important part of our history and shouldn't be overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be quite appropriate given the mentality of some of our fans (reading this forum we’re apparently relegated already!! 19 minutes ago, phantom said: Please not this though !! IMO if done right that could be turned into a very smart, modern crest similar to the Brentford redesign a few years ago which IMO is by far the best example of a recent crest change.

My view...don't change something that isn't broken, it's like they are going out of their way to create a negative headline...which lets be frank...is going to happen. Well personally I think it is broken. The current crest is dated and tired. It isn’t particularly distinct, and it doesn’t look great in digital form. I would welcome a more modern crest along the lines of Brentford (which featured in the survey). A crest change isn’t something we need to be up tight about. It’s something that tends to evolve for most clubs - look at Juve, United, Spurs, Man City - all have a long history of crest evolution and have made recent changes. History and tradition are things to respect but that doesn’t mean we always have to play everything by the old tune. Some evolution is OK, and I think the crest is one of those things you can change. And in this case, I think it’s overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Is this survey only going out to ST holders and Members? I've not had an email despite having a BS account.

Tinmans Love Child Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 The current badge is not that unique and the old robin badge is old fashioned, so definitely time for a change. i think it’s good the club is looking to seek fans ideas (imagine the fuss if they didn’t and just changed it) and hopefully they come up with something decent. If they spend the money on a decent design company doing it then I’m sure they can get something that looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza247 Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hopefully they'll listen to the fans on this and actually take the time to read the comments section which was the only part where we're free to express how we feel. I do hope they haven't made the decision already and are actually willing to accept that nothing has to change if the majority don't support it. My comment for what it's worth: I like the current badge and imagine there will be great dissatisfaction if you decide to change it, especially to something radical like the Bristol Bears and a name change. You'll fuel the fire that Bristol Sport is a franchise and lost touch with its fans and as a result is embarrassing its fans. If you were to change it then maybe a vote to reinstate the robin on the suspension bridge badge or keep the current one would suffice. Bristol City would be better off concentrating on making sure we have a successful team on the pitch rather than upsetting the fans by doing anything overly controversial and disrespecting our long history and tradition.

Do you think Bristol City need a load of marketing nonsense in order to have their own distinct identity? A) No. B) **** no. C) About as much as I need testicular cancer I feel this would give an accurate reflection of fan opinions on the topic. So you’d rather the club didn’t seek the fans opinion on anything? Plenty of people willing to discuss and engage with the issue of the club crest on the other thread, so don’t assume to represent the majority opinion. Option C wasn’t remotely funny by the way.

Yozzarian Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 The survey is deliberately prescriptive for a good reason. There is not going to be an option to retain either of the current badges unless perhaps they received an overwhelming number of comments saying so. They want to re-brand end of so it is vital we have our say in ensuring it is the best it can be. I understand many will not be happy with this.
