Inactive user Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 If we're going for something radically non traditional, I quite like the way MK Dons worked their initials into a badge. I wonder if we could come up with something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I mention it is because you see some club crests with a football on it with rectangular patches which make their badge look even more dated !!

T R Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I noticed other clubs have a ball and suspension bridge designs as their badge, We're losing out to other clubs with that design. Backwell and Ashton have a similar design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Lots of good ideas here. One of my things, but was 1987 a real centenary or a clever marketing stunt? Did we not really start in 1894? 1897 was simply a renaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Could I ask again if one of the robin designs could be put up on the opposite side of the fans forum main page? The one below is just a sample of what I mean. I'll just leave it to you guys on what you think. It is just because some of us do actually like the robin badge.

handsofclay Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Top marks cityexile and Bullbag. 1894 was our formation date, not 1897. That was simply when Bristol South End changed their name from that to Bristol City and joined the Southern League. We must be the only club possibly in the world who tries to make out we are younger than we actually are. Indeed, there is a much stronger case for using 1887 than 1897 as 1887 was the year Southville FC were formed, who changed their name to Bedminster in 1890, acquired AshtonGate in 1895 and aamalgamated with Bristol City in 1900. Thus, 1894 or even 1887 are the dates of formation. 1897 was simply a change of name and if we go down that route then 1982 should be on our shirts and clubs such as Manchester United (Newton Heath) a and Leicester City (Leicester Fosse) would be a lot younger than they are proud to state that they are.

Totally agree and always believed that myself. Our 'Established date' should be 1887, and I personally wouldn't vote for any new change in badge, robin or no robin, unless 1887 was on it.

OneCity Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Simplest is best imo - some of the best badges are quite simple, so something along these lines.... A quick mock up using Inter's badge as a simple background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
