How about any of the Bristol warplanes?, Bristol Concordes, Bristol Bare knuckles. Something with local historic resonance. The Bristol Balloonists? Although I'm not sure a hot air balloon strikes a particularly intimidating tone, but at least the alliteration is there. If you want something with more recent relevance, how about the Bristol Nimbyists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Blues would have been slightly more palatable if its to please the new Yankie money source. At least it has some relevance. Except we play in red which could get confusing !

Most people I know want a red away kit to mirror City's and would be cool to see the inverse of navy and blue hoops away to bring a bit of unity whilst respecting traditions of both clubs. Destroying the crest is worst of all for me; Looks like the same badge, so presuming this is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Utter plastic bull****. Steve Lansdown in a nutshell - business over all tradition. When can we look forward to "Bristol Socceroos Est. 1897" over Bristol City Football Club Est. 1894"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrick's Marvels Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 16 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: They weren’t skint, Malcolm Pearce’s money saved them three years before the deal with Mitsubishi which included the name change - even so, why don’t you care when you think money is involved but you care like mad when it isn’t?! You're wrong. Pearce, bless him a well intentioned fellow, did nothing but keep the wolf from the door. His intervention bought a shambolically run club a bit more time before the inevitable happened - relegation, a team stripped of its talent, forced to start again with a bunch of youngsters. Unbelievably this scenario was allowed to happen a second time before "the White Knight" "rescued" the club from a third, potentially fatal, implosion in the professional era. As for the "Bears" - a total uckingf travesty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Just googled Bristol Bears and one of the top webpages is called the Bristol Bear Fiesta: "Bristol Bear Fiesta (BBF) is a gay event weekend that has been held every summer since 2003 in Bristol's Gay Village in the heart of the Old Market Quarter. We bring you a weekend of relaxation, music and fun primarily aimed at the hairy beary gay community, their admirers and friends." To be fair, the rugby club's motto is #WeRiseTogether. This is obviously true in more than one way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
