I think red and white looks nicer, but its not a huge deal. Between 1897 and 2016 I can find 12 instances of us not having white shorts. To me, it's part of our identity and I hate when clubs piss about with home colours. Do what you want with away kits, but home kits (the colour scheme, at least) shouldn't be messed about with.

Do what you want with away kits, but home kits (the colour scheme, at least) shouldn't be messed about with. couldn't agree more…I recall the early 70's all red era - which bloomed when the red shorts were ditched…I recall the horror of the black shorts days in the early 80's - and the early 2000's were years of extreme frustration. Bristol City play in red and white…it's not hard to understand that. What's the point of changing it? Speechless if we really are playing in all red...

Lucky the football league (or EFL as it will be called) has just gone through a rebrand and hopefully we'll get new name and number typography next season. http://mobile.football-league.co.uk/news/article/2015/football-league-to-be-re-named-the-english-football-league-2798210.aspx Finally got around to reading this thread: why the F does it need to be rebranded as the English Football League: was the former name causing some confusion?

Totally agree. Always like to see us play in red and white, perhaps have the red shorts if kit clash forces a change (away obviously). Only wear away colours if other team wear red and white. Away kit can be the colours your experiment with. Leave the home colours alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 7 of those are in the last 20 years. I'm not saying I prefer it, I've already said I prefer the red and white. I just don't see it as a huge deal when (and perhaps because, in my lifetime) it hasn't been that uncommon. Presuming '86 is your year of birth, or that of a child of yours (have no idea, but bear with me) then I can understand seeing it differently as it is a much more uncommon strip over that time.

I don't know what it is but all red just doesn't say Bristol City to me. I know it's not a big deal to most, but for me it looks immeasurably better than all red.

It becomes an issue if you do buy the shirts but only the ones that you like, or buy them every year so that you have the current kit and want to look ok. That's my approach Eddie: don't buy replica shirts, and haven't particularly liked any of our shirts for a couple of decades or more. As such, not overly arsed what garbage is spewed out by the designers each time, as long as they avoid the colour blue and the use of quarters.

I dont give a toss about "modern maketing" were a football club not a business. Presumably you are quoting me there regarding "modern marketing". To be clear that was not a defence of the hashtags, simply an observation of what they are. I hate them and think they spoil an otherwise smart kit. However, to say we're a football club not a business is naive to say the least. We are both, whether you like it or not, and if we are to prosper, we need to be a well run business as well as a well run football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
