Reds2016 Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Just watching the West Ham game. They have a new badge, looks smart and very clear and clean. Our current crest is not easily reconisable and arguably out of date. I'm not suggesting we bring the robin back. But maybe we need something fresh and new now.

Bristol Rob Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Every week they should put a new Section82 sticker on the shirt. It would help sales for those collecting money for the match day atmosphere and every once in a while, SKY might have to make a onscreen logo that suggests Daryl interferes with dogs. Go for it!

havanatopia Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Actually we do have a new badge of sorts; i advocated simplifocation or cleaning up the detail about 2 or 3 years ago on this forum along with using just red and white.... They have done the latter but not the former and i think it looks a bit flat. Do both, maintaining the stylization, but clean it up.... Evolutionary... You still see and recognise it. Maybe next season they will do the second half of the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it. Really don't like the old Robin and bridge. Too cartoon like. A red silhouetted robin (think Spurs cockerel) with simplified lines to represent the bridge might work.

Job's a good 'un... We adopted the nickname "Robins" on a whim because of a song in the 50s. Ditched all our previous nicknames. Don't see why it can't be done again...

DavidNoble Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 I was thinking this the other day. Our current badge is very complex and detailed I do think it would help freshening it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 No. We've got a badge, serves us fine. Careful what you wish for, you'll end up with a badge that covers all the Bristol Sport clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Swallocks Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 If we were to ditch the Bristol coat of arms there's a mob of scavengers in this city that would take it on. So it's a no from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they would not - they would not ditch their pirate as quickly as we dropped our robin and bridge - the same bridge we often use in pictures publicising the Gate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without it being something ludicrous our badge won't be more recognisable than it currently is. And should we have sustained success it will be recognisable, that's how things work. Our badge isn't as recognisable as some because we have never been one on the big teams, but if you showed it to anyone who follows the championship/ a championship team they will know it, as would most fans of league 1 teams and probably league 2 fans as well.

I understand what you mean. The badge is still complex though and not as stand out as say Swansea, wolves, arsenal, man city etc could go on Other clubs who have cost of arms as their crest looks messy in my opinion and I think we are just too familiar with ours.

Well as it says Bristol City FC on it I would think you are correct. But if you took the words out and presented in black and white to hide colours I bet you will get a decent percentage say Yeovil, Cheltenham etc. I quite like the badge but it lacks the obvious club marks of the hammers, pirates etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City's new badge is awful as well. Just a horrible copy of the New York City franchise. Old one was great and recognisable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olé Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 10 minute attempt to bring the badge up to date as a digital-ready, one-colour brand mark, with an authentic vintage feel and made more relevant to an OTIB audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are based on the coat of arms, and I don't recall the rugby one changing recently, and it wasn't the same as our on the photo of the kit releases, so if it has changed it has changed in the last 48 hours and only you know about it.

Lympsham Red Posted August 21, 2016 Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 New badge? Pah! That's only the start! I say we rename ourselves to Bristol Sport AFC, and then continue on by renaming the rugby club Bristol Sport RFC, the women's football team Bristol Sport WFC and so on, until we all play under the "Bristol Sport" banner, with the twirly tornado thingy as our crest across the board. We can then proceed to rename Ashton Gate as "Bristol Sport Stadium connected by Vodafone", make our official club motto #MakingBristolProud, and make our club colours red and light blue. We can commission George Ezra to write us a new club anthem, entitled "One For The Bristol Sport", and change all our chants: for example, "City 'Till I Die" to "Making Bristol Proud 'Till I Die". Only then will I be satisfied with the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
