Should of had a poll ..... let the fans decide According to the press release over 3000 people responded to the survey and a working group chose this design from a shortlist, but oddly I've not heard from anyone who looked at the shortlist so whether that was supporters or Bristol sport employees I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Park Reds Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 When I first saw it I thought someone at my boys school had designed it and won a competition. Having watched Jon lansdowns presentation I get where the club is coming from. I guess I’m old school and prefer the 1976 robin bridge combo that is tattooed on my heart. We should all embrace change as a manager said to me yrs ago He was a #### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agard Days Night Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Very good, very stylish. Modernises the club branding but looks retro enough to still be cool. Works on a kit and on merchandise and leisurewear. A vast improvement on the generic coat of arms. Seeing this v some of the proposed designs on here, it just goes to show we should leave this kind of thing to professionals and not try to draw our own on OTIB. Up the Robins.

The text here isn't the same as in the design, it's neither the right size nor aligned above and below. And when you have that little attention to detail, it really doesn't matter if the badge is any good or not, it'll end up looking like it was produced in a market.

Nibor Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 The best thing I can say about this new crest is that it's not quite as bad as the throbbing ladybits of Bristol Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I live in Sussex and travel to Bristol a couple of times a month to watch City or Bris...the badge is just a badge, my allegiance is much more profound and deep seated than worrying about something so superficial.

Fiale Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Just feel the red circle is to wide, and the whole thing looks slightly off - probably the 1894 and the CITY both not be central / mirrored. It just kinda grates slightly, but overall it's ok, not going to win any awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrascal2 Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Slick, corporate and souless. Perfect for Bristol sport but not for Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 The more I see it the more I like it. Although clean and simple it feels more like something that was created in the 1930s rather than something trying to be too modern. Well done club.

REDOXO Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 On balance I like it well enough need a few metal badges like it too and a great way to put all the old kits out of date. I haven’t bought a shirt for ten years and I’m still good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 It’s nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. I wouldn’t say I loved it, but I quite like it and think it might grow on me even more. It’s a shame the Suspension Bridge isn’t featured though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the red S shape on the robin I reckon, similar to the S on that vile green and red badge Swindon had about a decade ago. Reminded me of it as well despite the badges looking nothing alike.

JamesBCFC Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 As of now (over 400 votes) more people love it than hate it, and more people like it than dislike it (both just as individual options and as positive vs negative totals). While over a quarter of votes were 'indifferent' that suggests that actually the club didn't do a bad job here. Could it have been better? Yes, but it could have been so much worse. Was a change needed? Debatable, and I was personally happy with the crest but a new badge could make sense going forwards from a branding point of view.

Dr Balls Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 As a fan of the old Sheffield Wednesday stylised owl, I have to say I really like this Robin design. Simple lines and it could become bit of a classic, whatever you do with the circle around the edge. Yes it will be used in corporate branding, and by the women's team, but we could have been lumbered with something a lot worse too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 70% (currently) don’t dislike it, or better. That’s got to be regarded as a success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuber Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Keep the version of the badge on JLs on the vid above. Add the suspension towers either side of the football. Job done. I don't mind what they've gone for. However it's literally just a Btec Brentford badge. It just looks worse overall. Proportion, Year. Just... 'Off'.

Just... 'Off'. Brentford’s...? Of course it looks a bit like Brentford’s. They are the “Bees” they have a Bee. We are the “Robins” we have a Robin. Now look at every other clubs badge and, I’d guess, 80-90% relate to their nickname too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got the same issue. The reason why you see Swindon when you look at the badge, it’s because; there is a bloody big red “S” on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
