Admin phantom Posted April 28, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 3 minutes ago, City169 said: So your argument now is that because it hasn't been done (by someone else) yet, it won't happen. Not the best argument. As shown earlier in the thread, other clubs have had a hashtag on the top before, so that nothing groundbreaking there either. No - nowhere have I mentioned anything about being the first - bit of a random assumption I personally don't like the whole #MakingBristolProud that Bristol Sport are tagging onto anything and everything they can - for me it has no place on our shirt. The tag has been seen with 3 x racing drivers, a basketball team, waterpolo team, a cricket team (who's members voted against changing their name to associate with Bristol) How can we claim that Bristol City FC are making the City proud ? I suspect a vast majority don't give a hoot about us This ISN'T an anti Bristol Sport thing, I can understand the benefits of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using your logic it appears you would advocate renaming the club West Country United. Make the 'spelling out our name' chant, a bit long winded. Country lends itself to an unfortunate abreviation too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vast majority of marketing slogans are patently bollocks (8 out of 10 cats prefer it etc.) but they still get plastered everywhere. I personally don't like advertising and marketing and would prefer that it didn't exist at all. But if you accept it as a facet of modern life, then it doesn't seem like that big a deal.

Yeah as recently as the 1950's Leeds United played in Blue shirts! Madness. On the subject of white City shorts, Man U have often been known to wear back or white shorts as part of their home kit haven't they?! Having said that I prefer City in the 'classic' red/white/red!

Big C Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 11 hours ago, WTMS said: Bristol City is a West Country team playing in the City of Bristol. A club that attracts support from the West Country v the narrower confines of Bristol. That is part of Bristol City's attraction to some of us having friends from Somerset, Wiltshire etc. The club some of us started our support with proudly stated it was a West Country club. New slogans are a form of re-branding. Bristol Sport chose not to use its own consultative body - FAN. Bristol Sport chose not to consult anybody. That is poor. A easy point to understand.

Pickle Rick Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Article from today: States... " All home shirts, from 0-3 months to XXXXL will be unavailable, along with shorts and socks. No goalkeeper kits will be on sale. " http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/new-201617-home-kit-on-sale-friday-3078915.aspx So basically, title is " New 2016/17 home kit on sale tomorrow (Friday)". But they're all unavailable apparently. Sorry to let those down who wanted to buy a shirt tomorrow. Silly club, misleading headline, SACK THE BOARD.

Think about it......,First and foremost the club is representing the city to which it is based and named. As such, any achievement regardless of scale is usually followed by a civic parade in the city. Local fans and those from further afield celebrate the achievement by going to the city before the club attend a banquet or such event with the city mayor and dignitaries. Can you see a trend here? Your argument would suggest as the club represents the West Country and we have fans all over the West Country and such parades for bcfc should be held somewhere central to the West Country....yeovil?

If we achieve on the pitch quite a lot I should think. I have no interest in gymnastics but I am proud of Claudia Frangapane, likewise Judd Trump, Precious McKenzie (one for the oldies) and any other successful Bristolian sportsman/woman or team. Likewise I am proud of SS Great Britain, Aardman Animations, BAC, Concorde, Rolls Royce civil engine division, the Downs, HfT, I am proud of anything that makes Bristol a special place, people from Bristol that achieve or organisations that are in Bristol and achieve be they sporting, commercial, social or charitable. I am even proud that Bristol is the green capital of Europe (but I don't quite get how or why). I suspect I am not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
