Although not a keen rugby fan I have mates that are and they like the logo. We have to remember that the Bears is a new name so unless City change the club name........ I’d a like badge that reflects Bristol’s maritime history, A tall ship for example. Lose the robin as other clubs have the same nickname so design something that’s specific to Bristol. regardless of the history, the bears logo is a very smart and simple logo.

You don’t like the Robin so what would you like to see on the badge? Preferably something that isn’t bland or uninspiring... Something that reflects Bristol - well known as a sea port Maybe something maritime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve had various suggestions as to what that badge could be. It needs to be a simple and easily recognisable badge like Wolves ( you can’t get any more simple than that) Forest and Plymouth Argyle - a sailing ship....... 11 hours ago, AshtonPark said: regardless of the history, the bears logo is a very smart and simple logo. I think the Swansea logo is quite clever. Works black on white and white on black. Simple and recognisable, with or without the lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Can't believe nobody has suggested a Unicorn. Would be unique to us. There are unicorns all over Bristol. Eunice the unique Unicorn could be a fun mascot. Enough now, time for my medication.... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohbasso Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 How about this? I honestly think it looks great on this years away kit. It’s unique, simple and has the three main things most people want. I think after a few years of using it again people wouldn’t even need to see the writing around it to know that it’s us either.

Well that wouldn’t be ‘unique’ to us either would it? For a start there’s already another club in the City who have gone down that route and they’re further away from the water than we are. Other clubs have used ships on their badges, Pompey have used an anchor. I think that ‘ship has already sailed’ if you excuse the pun. I’m afraid we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one, anything to do with boats sounds a bit ‘gassy’ to me plus I can’t see how the Matthew, the SS Great Britain or the Harbour Ferry can be more associated with our club than our traditional nickname anyway. You never know, the club may agree with you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Guess that Baby Sharks have already been mentioned, but what about the rumoured crocodile that was spotted by the Bedminster Bridge Roundabout?

My impression is that tinkering with names, kits and brands doesn't prompt the same reaction in rugby that it does in football. It would seem more accepted. I don't like it, but I should imagine they'd shift a few, so job done I guess I remember going back years ago when the cherry and white strips were changed there was uproar, but we've seen so many tweaks down the years that I suspect you're right that rugby fans have got used to tweaking the kits and badges. Rugby did need dragging into the modern era a little more than football As l said with City, as long as the home colours don't change and it's always Kingsholm or Ashton Gate and it's Gloucester Rugby or Bristol City then I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I have completed the survey and put the following in the comment box at the end. "Bristol City will only get a well known identity when we actually achieve something in football instead of being a club that bounces to and from second to third tier of English football. Continually having seasons when we hardly win a match for three or four months is not the way forward. Sort the football out and you will not need to worry about which badge or crest is the most ideal. Or rebranding like the silly Bristol Bears change of name. I've had sixty nine years following City with little to shout about." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
