Septic Peg Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 You may remember the other day, we won our group on Twitter, beating Reading, Mansfield Town and Scunthorpe. Well you might be pleased to know we cruised through the quarters by beating Brentford with a nice 59% of the vote. So now we are in the semis and we are up against our toughest challenge yet, Bradford City, and their kit is smart as paint this year tbf. But the chance of making the final against Sheffield United or Notts Forest (both superb vintage looking kits) is too hard to ignore... so if you are on Twitter, you know what to do... result in 7 hours...

Bar BS3 Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Umm am I missing the point of this..? Who gives a toss what people on twitter think of our (or anyone else's) kit..? Is there some sort of prize, or just the "honour" of having had more of our own fans vote on our kit that other clubs have had their fans (limited to fans who are A) on Twitter & B) can be bothered to vote for a preferred kit) I really like our new kit. I'd say Forests was the same but slightly nicer. Not seen Sheffield Utd's.

Roe Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 So we're in the final against Sheffield United! We won with more votes against Bradford than Sheffield United got in their semi against Forest so by my expert calculations.. we should have this one so long as there's not a December-like cockup whenever the final is.. played? You re.. purples!
Lanterne Rouge Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 I didn`t even know Teletext Holidays was still a thing!

RedM Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 It's not the just the kit we are voting for it's the players, come on ours are pretty georgeous, and that's without the help of Maggy. Look at our beautiful stadium in the background. Who can resist! Sheffield Utd have no chance!

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 And the winner is....(cue the pause for no dramatic effect whatsoever) whichever team has the largest fan base on twitter.

Jin Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Sorry if it's already been posted elsewhere! Our away kit is up against Sheffield United's home kit for best kit of the season. You know what to do... EDIT just been merged
Meh Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Get voting even though Patterson looks like he was kicked in the crotch and is 4 months pregnant !!
Owl Visiting Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Voted for you, and posted on Owlstalk. Our new home kit isn't going to be revealed till the end of August. Complete shambles.

Septic Peg Posted July 31, 2017 Author Posted July 31, 2017 Ladies and Gents, I am pleased to announce, with 52% of the vote... BRISTOL CITY OFFICIALLY HAS THE BEST KIT IN THE EFL!
RedRock Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 UEFA investigation underway. Result declared 26 minutes before deadline, they want to know why it wasn't known 2 years before.
Phileas Fogg Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Oh no, same percentage split as the referendum. Wonder if Sheffield United will keep protesting to get another vote until they get the result they want.

Meh Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Champions - just awaiting announcement of prize but I reckon it will be UEFA cup place - LJ knew all along !!

They'll get told that the views of the 48% count for absolutely nothing, that if they dare to speak again they'll be traitors and saboteurs, and they'll be forced to play in purple and green every week whether they like it or not. Will of the people!
Bristol Rob Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Any idea where we came on the EFL Twitter vote for 'crap fonts on training gear' championship? I'd like to think we won that as well.

Owl Visiting Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 So our kits have finally been revealed today. Don't think either would have been a danger to you in this competition. I think the away one is possibly the worst football shirt I've ever seen.

Sorry Completely agree. They've been made in house at apparently £2.50 per shirt, so unsurprisingly the quality looks terrible. The away shirt looks like one of those template kits you buy from JJB for your Sunday league or 5-aside team. This in our 150th Anniversary year as well .

How you rating your chances for the season We've only signed one player so far so not much improvement which is slightly worrying. The biggest concern is the defence. We only have 2 CBs at the club and are in desperate need for a couple more, we are expected to sign Johan Djourou in the next few days if you remember him from his Arsenal days. Most Wednesday fans seem to be predicting us to miss out on the top 6 this season. I feel the same, but If one of our big name strikers can finally start firing we might be able to mount a challenge. If we aren't in contention by Christmas though, I could see there being a change in manager. Can't wait for it all to start though and especially looking forward to the derbies.
