But I can see the similarity / imagery being consistent with the Bristol Bears logo - Robins / Bears ... I'm sure the basketball team will fall into line next. It's all part of the brand juggernaut that is Bristol Sport... I'm still waiting for City's away kit to be dark blue (a la Bears) and Bears away kit to be red.... The Robin is faceless, though (unlike the bear); blank; anonymous; empty. Void. Transparent. Lacking features; and identity. A blank slate, a ghost of a robin. Possibly soulless.

Think you’re being a touch too much of a cod philosopher for what’s basically a bit of stitching on a sports shirt that no one over the age of 13 will wear outside match days and booze ups in Magaluf. The date’s right and they should be applauded for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 I’ve seen these logos were part of the launch as well, the first looks good with the bridge underneath, no idea what this is, maybe a mouse Matt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the whole point of the badge change in my opinion, the football has been removed and replaced with a circle, the bridge has been removed so it doesn’t scream Bristol. So from the kit badge remove the rings, remove the name Bristol city and they are hoping people will wear it outside of match days as a fashion label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowshed Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 38 minutes ago, BS4 on Tour... said: In the video JL mentions that they had 3k replies from fans to the online survey....then he said after that they set up a Fans Feedback Group as they went through the redesign process. Does anyone on here know anyone who was in that Group? Can’t really believe our fans would have approved that design. Yes we’ve got the Robin back and they’ve got the date correct at last, but it’s not very good. I think most of the DIY efforts (posted on here over the last couple of years) have been much much better than what we’ve ended up with - on the plus side, love the new home shirt.... It appears the Supporters Trust were not included. Jon Lansdown cross section of fans could actually be a cross section of employees. Jon Lansdown consultations by their nature are designed to exclude fans not include them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaxbourton Red Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Glad the crest is dead - waited a long time for the return of the robin. However likes like they have been mistreating him whilst he has been exiled - they’ve turned him white, starved him - oh and he’s lost his tail feathers. I might phone the RSPB about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 It's a bit meh for me. It's not terrible, but as others have said, I don't think it's the best. They've missed a trick with the bridge. In time I think it will grow on me. The wife liked it as soon as I showed her though. At the end of the day, you're not going to please everybody all of the time.

Red Skin Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 2 hours ago, pongo88 said: . In the past many things that were really orange were called red. What were Oranges called? I like the simplified Robin. I like that the design is open so can take on whatever background it is placed one. Makes it more subtle. Just not keen on the round badge. The lettering looks wrong around it. Amateur. A simple shield would have been better and the words Bristol City could be placed on the horizontal. Personally, trying to incorporate the bridge as well would make it too cluttered. Two of robin, bridge, and football is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 1 hour ago, RumRed said: Because the shirts of the modern era have always been wrong. Even the Centenary was celebrated the wrong year. Pretty much this. Essentially the board realised in 1996 that they'd missed the centenary, so decided to cash in by celebrating the centenary of us becoming Bristol City! I was a little chuffed when Jon referred to seeing from one person that they'd forgotten the centenary and went with 1897 as that was exactly what I'd put in my feedback questionnaire last year! I really like it. It's modern, simple, will be easy for young uns to enjoy drawing, feeding their obsession that will continue for life. Gutted about the bridge though.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Don't mind it, but find the design somewhat lazy, not much unique about it. Vanilla. That said I don't buy any club clothing merchandise so dont really care, the club to me isn't a badge or crest, it's a state of mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Meh. I quite like the actual robin design, and it looks really smart on the black training gear they've shown. The 1894 bit seems weird and out of place and I dislike the whole circular badge design. I mean, it genuinely looks almost identical to the Brentford one so all this rubbish about wanting it to be instantly recognisable is nonsense. Also agree with people saying the bridge should've been incorporated in it. Disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 It’s bad but it’s not Leeds bad. Which means there won’t be enough of a fuss kicked up, which means it’s staying I reckon. Would be nice if they took some feedback on board from a wider fan base and put the bridge on but you can be sure that the orders are already in with this stamped printed and stitched on everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
