Topsham Red Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Silvio Dante said: Driving to the airport this morning and on a wall outside Parson Street (not an official advertising board AFAIK) there was a 4ft version of the below logo. I’m wondering if the club are going to do a fair amount of “guerilla” marketing and we’ll see variations of the logo pop up all over the city. If so, could be smart... There is a Red one as you come into town from Old Market also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree. When I first saw it my reaction was: meh. It's bang average. Don't hate it, don't like it. But when I heard Ashton & Lansdown banging on about how it 'defines' us and is instantly identifiable as 'Bristol City' it's nonsense. Without the words 'Bristol City' on the crest, it's a robin in a circle which could easily be linked to many other clubs who claim they are 'the robins'. Worse yet, it strongly resembles other club's badges, namely Spurs and Norwich i.e. bird on a ball. Not original. We have a world renown landmark in sight of the stadium, used on badges now gone, yet they decided not to include it?? Nothing shouts 'Bristol' like the Suspension Bridge ffs. Instantly recognizable. A lad on twitter has re-worked the crest to include the Suspension Bridge and it looks fantastic - why didn't the club opt for this also? Unfortunately I think the club have decided to plough ahead regardless of fan opinion. It looks like the shirts, leisure and training wear is already in production, ready for the off. They won' be changing anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer the first one on here as it has an eye. I can understand they wanted the thicker lines though as it makes for easier sewing for badges etc. The thinner the lines the harder it is for mass production.

InCyder Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I think it's ok. Didn't blow me away but I do like the Robin itself. I can't help but think that they are pumping out the badge in it's circle form with Bristol City written all over it with a view to using the Robin alone in future. Which I'd be all for.

I only meant what Lansdown said about his interview i.e. the new badge is clearly identifiable as Bristol City. It isn't. Apart from the text, it's a robin in a circle. Show that to any fan around Britain and they'd struggle to identify the club. Bang the Suspension Bridge in there and it becomes a lot more recognizable.

Spike Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 One thing I do like about the new badge, it's very versatile, probably why so many clubs are going for round badges these days.

Not just the bridge, but the year being tidied up, and the fact that having the Robin proudly over the bridge confers some height and size, and therefore strength. It's a yes from me.

If they are able to identify the Suspension Bridge and correctly place it as a Bristol landmark. Probably better to pop the words Bristol City on there as that’s a bit of a clue as to the team.

I knew that from memory as because both those badges are easily identifiable as the clubs they represent. Within a few months the Robin logo belonging to Bristol City will be familiar to other football fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
