ollywhyte Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Saw this banded round on Facebook a few times other day... pretty sure we won't be changing it but I for one would love to see the Robin back! Fairly decent design in my opinion. I know this conversation pops up every now and again so apologise in advance, it's that time of the year!!
The_Don Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Really dislike this one (as much as you can "dislike" a club crest) but like the old Robin badges. Not bothered whether we revert back, a shirt is a shirt at the end of the day.
ZiderEyed Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I ******* adore this. Absolutely beautiful. Can imagine that this will divide opinions pretty well, even more so than this debate normally does.
Negan Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I don't care for the robin badge but I actually really like that. Looks both modern and classic....

Shtanley Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I like our crest right now. It's traditional, I dislike the modern minimalistic ones like wolves and Brighton.
Dynamite Red Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Looks good. The crest is nice but our soft edged cartoon bastardised version is shit.
MetzRed Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Could do with a silhouette of the suspension bridge behind the robin. But I also would rather we kept the current badge.
Citychuds Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I love being the robins but the robin on the badge always looked a bit ......... how do I put this........ a bit like big fat phil from the Paddy Power coach advert. A little plump and not all that menacing. I love this badge the robin looks like we are turning up to make a statement, its everything ive always wanted our pretty little feathered friend to be. Its a bit like your Mrs wearing a posh frock and then necking a pint ..... a bit of grrr behind the posh plumage
42nite Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I can imagine certain saggy type people inserting objects in the poor things mouth! Not for me this one.
Elruliri Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 My favourite home & away kit was the 1990-91 kit. The season after Bob Taylor got injured and cost us being champions. I think it was made by Buckta? I remember liking the away yellow and green on holiday with pride. I think Junior scored against Swindon in it.
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 That's a ******* huge Robin. Or a very small ball.

T R Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 I saw an excellent design last year. I thought I had saved the image on my computer but I can't find it. been looking on google and everywhere to try find it again. It is very similar to the image below but it had more bold curved lines to make he image of the robin up. All it needed was an image of the suspension bridge behind and that would have been a perfect badge design. If anyone has seen it too put me out of my misery.

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Still believe we should retain the Bristol coat of arms officially but have no objection to this as a club crest. One minor point, as a Red Robin it should be singing to its left!

joe jordans teeth Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 To modern,can't we go back to old robin crest and maybe stand out
Kodjias Wrist Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Just now, Rascal said: Yeah it's pretty decent, a lot better than what we use, but as I say I'd love a Oakwell badge, plain and simple just a well with oak leaves and BFC underneath, I think the plain simple badges are the best, Swansea, Forest, Wolves, Liverpool, the old Arsenal one I think they look quality Yeah I completely agree. I may upset other city fans but I'm not a big fan of our badge it looks messy. You should be able to guess what team the badge belongs to just by looking at it. Like Wolves, Derby, Swans etc.

Look great on a simple shirt like the mock ups of the I get the nostalgia for the old Robin but I think it looks too dated. This looks timeless.
WolfOfWestStreet Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 The reality is the current city badge is not marketable at all. Its too detailed, look at every single premeir league crest, a child could draw every single one and thats the way they want it because they can stick it on every lunchbox, pencil case, drinks bottle, cuddly toy, poster, car sticker .....for minimal printing costs. We've already started printing it on shirts in a single colour, if city ever got a sniff of the prem the current badge is history, 100%.
TV Tom Posted June 3, 2017 Posted June 3, 2017 A robin on a ball with Brunels masterpiece in the background, fantastic and unique

If I had my way I'd bring back the old robin/bridge badge from the seventies/eighties... I don't care what anyone says, I think that it is the best football badge in the world and one of the most easily identifiable. That said, this is easily the best alternative robin badge that I have seen.
JakeOTIB Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 I say bring back the robin! After all, we're The Robins not the Unicorns

Spike Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Of the two designs, I prefer the first one but would much rather stick with the Coat of Arms. The Robins is a nickname and should stay that way, the club is Bristol City so the City of Bristol coat of arms makes perfect sense and then having "the Robins" somehow added onto the shirt is all we need.
'Orns Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Love it. Saw it on twitter over the weekend and got my hopes up I cannot stand the current badge. Nothing says 'Bristol City FC' than a generic coat of arms that could be Bury, or Burnley, or Huddersfield Town etc etc Get 1894 on there, and you have to have the bridge, and put it in a roundel, not a shield and we're sorted Make it happen #makingwoodsyprowd
KingLear Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 It's nice and maybe stick it on some club merchandise or something but not on the actual club kit IMO. I think the classic coat of arms badge should be kept but what annoys me is that it continually changes colour depending on the colour of the kit. Keep the old classic design and colours, don't make it all red or purple etc. In my humble opinion.
ollywhyte Posted June 5, 2017 Author Posted June 5, 2017 Think it would look nice as a pin badge, would anyone want one?

RedM Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Don't like either of the Robin designs if I'm honest, the beak should be shut on the first one and the second one looks like he is losing his balance on the ball.

CyderInACan Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 The coat of arms always works for me; we are constantly referred to as Bristol, plus - as the song says - the city is ours'.

The robin and the ball does remind me of the old charlton athletic badge. Nice to see the old fashioned leather ball. A few simple changes and it will be a really good badge

And you've also listed some non-league teams, why do you think they will get confused with an established league club of well over a hundred years? Yes Cheltenham and Swindon have been known as The Robins, but so what?! Why can't we have a classy Robin badge? Still more original than a coat of arms which zillions of others clubs have - generic crap...

I think this new design is great personally, but you will never ever please everyone in regards to the badge. I think our old robin one is as much naff as it is unique, others love it
