The robin badge is nice for a one off but a bit budget. I know bears stuff gets abuse but it all looks great to me, clear and good on kits and branding etc. I don't expect a robin though - in the minutes from the meeting with LJ et all the other day they said they want something that is more iconic to city and that they didn't think a robin was. Suspension bridge would be a given, something referencing ashton gate maybe (not the gators!), cider - an apple tree? hmmm.... Cathy Barry ?

Carey 6 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 The club invited along a few select people to discuss 'crest development and identity' on Saturday. I wasn't invited, but know a couple that were but they couldn't make it. Did anybody go, what did the designs look like? I have to say, I'm still fearing the worst over this. As I previously mentioned, if they do come up with a new badge, I hope they poll season card holders on whether to stick with the current one or go with the new one.

Good one, but of course it's Fai- land, originally 'Fay' apparently, meaning evil elf or fairy, so presumably abbreviated from Fairyland. Unless anyone knows better?

But I was thinking more of the psychological/NLP anchoring impact of practicing in Fail-land. T’was nothing but an attempt at post-festive levity.

Totally agree, a full rebranding would be awful. We’d be starting again. As long as there’s the Suspension Bridge then that’s us. Couldn’t mistake it for anything else.

Hear what you're saying Robbo and it's a valid point, but like it or not, Robins is our nickname and our beloved Robin/Bridge crest is iconic in our history and much loved by many of our fans. I'd be sad to see it not included personally. The early 90s Dry Blackthorn red kit, worn by Andy Cole/Junior Bent and Co for me was the best badge and kit combo we ever had.

Because if they asked SCH, they know the opinions they're getting are only those of their actual fanbase. They could ask everyone on their database who has a membership as well as SCH, but putting it out as a public poll has potential to be disastrous. There has to be some sort of restriction.

Plenty of us are on their database without holding STs Get the point that public polls are open to anyone having a say, but they probably know more about me than my Mrs does!
