Nogbad the Bad Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 25 minutes ago, Robin1988 said: It may shock you to hear it wasn't every week. Because, as you helpfully point out, it could have caused some confusion. Conversely I can't remember hearing chants of come on you whites, blacks, purples or yellows since I've been following us away for ~12 years. If there has been I may have misheard, but I'm not so sure. In my 45 years of following City away (admittedly far less often these days but I went away solidly for over 20 years) I've certainly often heard chants of 'come on you yellows/whites'. 7 minutes ago, The Dolman Pragmatist said: Well, admittedly you don't know me, but I am a fan in 'real life' (I think - hang on a minute (bangs head on desk) - yes it appears to be reality) and far from being vehemently against it, I'd like a blue away strip. I've never claimed to know all City fans or their opinions DP, but I know a fair selection of local fans from all age groups. My point was comparing the few on here who say they would accept it with the many City fans I know away from OTIB who definitely would not.

The club changes the kit every season, so having a new kit isn't a surprise. My question was, does anyone know why the kit launch was delayed - i e why was the decision left until the last minute? If City / Bristol Sport wanted a blue away kit, the idea could / should have been floated last autumn to get feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Can't we just get the rugby lot to play in purple and lime / black and white / yellow and green, then we can all share the same colours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy blue away kit, meh who cares, if such things really irk people, then I imagine they have bigger underlying issues that they are projecting onto it. I completely agree it's not the same and I would personally be in favour of a navy kit - indeed the "Bristol Blue Glass" kit idea was mine. But the suggestion was that it was "double standards" to be "willing to take everything from SL/BS but not accept their changes" - I don't agree with the principle of that statement. Just because Bristol Sport are putting money into the club doesn't mean that people can't object to certain changes they make, however minor they may be. It's not double standards to largely support the Bristol Sport model but object to some of their decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 3 hours ago, Pezo said: im sure you didnt mean it but what you have basically said there is that anyone that cares about us not wearing blue has some kind of mental issue. I would say your apparent apathy is a bigger problem, although not apathetic enough not to write a non opinion on a forum is a weird way to go about it. Well to be a mental issue it would have to be a psychological disorder. I would not say that the underlying reason to be upset, angry over the colour of a away kit for a football team that might be worn a handful of times at most is a psychological disorder, but it is definitely not a healthy psychological response.

Natchfever Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 I would like navy blue personally. Doesn't resemble the other lot whatsoever. If people are that bothered then the levis need to stay in the wardrobe on away days ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you like it but it's pretty evident from this thread that a blue kit of any description would be devisive, so even though I am personally in favour, I actually think it would be best if it didn't happen.

Clarky89 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Why?!?! There is literally hundreds of colours they could pick that do not clash with red and not be any shade of blue what so ever. Including Purple and Lime which fans love and is very popular. Ridiculous. Out of touch. Pillocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should point out though that this BCFC Supporters Page is fan run, and isn't privy to any information that other fans aren't necessarily. They don't ever have much inside information, so wouldn't take what they say as gospel yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am not too bothered personally, royal blue is basically Rovers blue, and therefore you are asking for trouble. A large proportion of the fan base won't buy it - therefore you are costing yourself sales and creating an avoidable controversy. The club must know that.

Bit subjective really regards colours being the same. Not sure that away kit sales are as important as presenting Bristol Sport as a brand? Can't imagine the club basing many financial decisions on the sale of a couple of thousand shirts. I have no issue with dark blue personally, as an away kit, and don't feel it would 'damage' BCFC at all, we have worn it and it's as far removed from Rovers as Ashton Gate is to the Mem.

I don't really care what shade of blue is used personally (I have constantly advocated a navy kit on this thread) but it seems obvious to me that royal blue specifically is very much a Rovers blue, and as such is likely to cause unnecessary and avoidable controversy. A navy blue kit would be less of an issue, but on the evidence of this thread would still cross a line for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point I was trying to make is that we're discussing colours and I for one have a pair of trousers I'm convinced are grey and my girlfriend thinks are green!
