I'd say the answer is NIL.

No but I was at Mansfield when we wore Swindon Town's away kit. Kenny Stroud collected it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 It was certainly the 50s when we wore Rovers kit. I was there but can't remember whom we were playing. As for the reason I think clash of colours with both main kit and second kit (no such thing as an away kit back then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "change strip" for when the first choice kits clash? Otherwise the kit would be worn at every away game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm kind of undecided on the whole "blue" argument. IIRC, as a kid there was a Gas at my school (just 1, mind you) and the blue bits were what I'd call Royal Blue - quite a mid-blue colour, not like the horrid Tesco carrier bag blue they wear now. Now if we were to wear very dark blue, and hoops with white...or, perhaps an Inter style strip? That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueredsupporter Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well iron man if you think section 82 putting csf stickers and Darrell Clarke wanks off dogs on peoples private property is not damaging the forum is all yours to explain why. city having a blue kit royal navy any blue would help to go towards stopping all this anti gas rubbish which does not help to promote the club or support the team.

In my defence the Bristol Academy women's football team had the same badge previously, so presumably they emerged from this organisation. Seems I can't keep up with the Bristol Sport evolution!

Sixtyseconds Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'll do it. The question. Again. Step right up ...

Sixtyseconds Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Come on Big C that is not the question. Its about the kit. The question is.

One sage thought it would be good because it will make City fans shit the bed.

Admin phantom Posted July 20, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I wonder what the chances and the reaction would be if Rovers were to unveil a red away kit?

Also like it or not we are now under the Bristol Sport umbrella, we have close links with Bristol Rugby, Bristol City Women's team and Bristol Flyers Basketball team. The rugby team play in blue, the Women's and Basketball team both have a change kit of blue. And that is what we are talking about a change kit!!. Its not like we will be running out at Ashton Gate in blue and white quarters with Good Night Irene on the tannoy system is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it classy bluesters. Because the club can't be held hostage by a minority of irrational supporters. It's a blue away kit, you don't have to buy it. The job of an away kit is to not clash with the opposing team. Therefore an away kit can be anything but red. I'd be more annoyed if the away kit were white, because a few teams wear Red & white stripes/hoops which necessitates a third kit hence the away kit hasn't done its job of not clashing with the opposing team.

City fans try to tear them to shreds and mock them, but tough, they don't give a shit and now claim blue home and red away for ever... we have our red home kit, Rovers fans.. "yeah we have red as well, but we only use it away".......... so now we are not the only Bristol football team playing in red, what happens ? do all the fans go of cry somewhere, does the club fold, the stadium close because our "rivals" play in Red as well ? Maybe Rovers could announce a red away kit at some point as a pre-emptive strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With respect your opinion regarding a minority could easily be a majority. I have absolutely no reason to doubt the Supporters Trust on this thread. They have formerly approached a similar topic (?) via a poll/survey and the answer was a no. They have sensibly discussed a possibility with fellow members of the Fan Advisory Network and the answer was a no. Bristol City is not being held hostage by some meglomaniac Tan like figures. Fans are an intrinsic part of the club. Above fans have stated no blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why? Fans? Doesn't matter anymore? Another way of looking at it is we are Bristol City, we are the number one club, the superior in every way dominant force in the city. Why should we be concerned by what a small tin pot club wear as their club colour. We should play in blue and white quarters if we want to. To me it seems so insecure to worry about another clubs colour. Man Utd often have blue away kits and vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
