Preston's badge is terrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Skin Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Like the simplicity of Swansea and Forest. Hope we do something similar. I really liked the retro robin on a football badge that someone put together, but even more stripped back like the Spurs badge. Personally I can't abide Birmingham City's badge. Worst for me.

Cowshed Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 "The retro-inspired crest being shown on their away kits this season might be the way to go in this era with a few tweaks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think ours is better than a few of them, QPR and Reading especially but the best badges like Forest, Derby, Brentford, Swansea etc have something iconic as the focus piece. You see it and you know exactly what it is. I doubt many outside of Bristol know that ours is the Bristol coat of arms. We should have something involving the suspension bridge IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Wilde Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I don’t agree with the writer of the article at all. Personally think ours is one of the best alongside Boro and Aston Villa. Norwich’s is the worse and Hull’s looks like it should be on the front of a breakfast cereal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 On a side note, am I the only one who thinks there is something very wrong with that new Hull crest? It's playing absolute havoc with my OCD. Either the text isn't aligned, or the curves aren't symmetrical, or there are too many different jarring angles. Either way it gives me a headache.

Gifford Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Best three for me are Derby, Swansea and Forest. Logos you can easily recognise even if you take the text away and change the colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Listening to junior the other night he said a robin is coming , reading between the lines I don’t think it’s the tradional robin which I love , however I believe a different design will be out ,could be wrong , we will see !

From the survey they sent out, which seemed quite “loaded” I think we can expect to see something similar to Brentford’s Bee, except a Robin, obviously. Possibly something similar to the Rugby’s Bear..? Either way I’m fully expecting it to be modern, rather than the traditional “old” badge that’s currently on the White kit.

Eddie Hitler Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 The best crests are simple and we'll designed; something you could draw on the back of your school exercise book from memory. You'd have to be Leonardo da Vinci to be able to draw our crest from memory as it is ridiculously complicated. Could a neutral recognise it as Bristol City's badge when it flashes up on a Championship highlights programme? The simple answer is: no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Robin. Suspension Bridge. Football. Keep it simple. Fear is, whoever is involved in the re-design is going to over-complicate/over-design it in order to justify fees and differentiate from the existing away design. Waiting for the meltdown when it’s released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Deary me. What a sad place we live in. A talksport article commenting on the type of badges a club should have ‘in this era’. If it were me I would keep the club crest with strong relationship to city of Bristol (hopefully that still means something even if a 17 year old from Hounslow didn’t click like, or whether it transposes really neatly in a round icon because that’s the template a social media app uses) and by all means if you wish to create some sort of fashion logo or icon to brand in shops, knock yourselves out.

TBW Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I don't think the robin would even do well on that list either. Only ones I like are Swansea, Forest and Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the meltdown when it’s released. I don’t think so - one thing BS are getting decent at is clothing and merchandise. I think SL would want to remain with the crest as is but I think this is JL’s decision and SL is going with it. I expect (hope) a modern re-hash of the original robin badge - modern as in a bit more detailing - maybe the robin in flight with bridge in background. Circle maybe with Bristol City 1894 around it?

Do you know what, I was going to write exactly the same thing, that’s spooky. Swansea and Forest have easily been modernised if that’s the route to go down as their name/logo is so workable, same with Derby. Next on the list is Sheff Weds, could easily do a modern owl. Our Robin isn’t unique and there’s not a lot you can do with ‘Bristol’ as it isn’t a thing as such. Like you I picked out Brum’s badge as the worst, I know it’s traditional but for some unknown reason I too can’t stand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Lions Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 @RedM you can make a Robin unique and the robin with its bridge is unique to Bristol City. eight nine years ago a designer played around with it added phrases like when the moon shines (Wurzels!!) , the end result was lots of different designs. the designs could have gone on for ever angry, not so angry , smiling (or the kids) with bridge, no bridge stop lettering wild style, adding traditions the angry Robin always points the same way. any logo for any club is easy to make unique because they all have their own traditions and histories if you use them - A robin with that bridge with pride of the west can only be Bristol City.

Don’t get me wrong, I do agree. What I meant is that we aren’t uniquely called the Robins, or haven’t pushed the robin enough so that we are maybe? We aren’t even the only BCFC so shouldn’t do what Bolton have done for example. I am very much in favour of using the robin and the bridge, which is unique to us and should be part of our badge as we sit beneath it. I would also like to see ‘Bristol City’ on the badge, leaving people in no doubt who we are. The badge on our white shirt is much better than the crest in my opinion, not sure what modernising it would be like though? I guess like any rebrand it will be very Marmite.

I've said it time and time again, it just looks like a generic badge, could be anyone The other ones that people have mentioned, Derby, Swansea, Forest - it's clear who it is, the club it represents. Also, the robin, bridge and football was the badge when I started going. And football never gets better than when you first fall in love with a club I understand the Bristolians who love the Bristol coat of arms being represented and that my view won't be overly popular I do worry, as others surely will, that we will end up with an absolute horror show of a new badge. Here's hoping they've kept it simple and clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
