. In the past many things that were really orange were called red.

What were Oranges called?

I like the simplified Robin.  I like that the design is open so can take on whatever background it is placed one.  Makes it more subtle.

Just not keen on the round badge.  The lettering looks wrong around it.  Amateur.  A simple shield would have been better and the words Bristol City could be placed on the horizontal.

Personally, trying to incorporate the bridge as well would make it too cluttered.  Two of robin, bridge, and football is enough.

Because the shirts of the modern era have always been wrong.  Even the Centenary was celebrated the wrong year.

Pretty much this.  Essentially the board realised in 1996 that they'd missed the centenary, so decided to cash in by celebrating the centenary of us becoming Bristol City!

I was a  little chuffed when Jon referred to seeing from one person that they'd forgotten the centenary and went with 1897 as that was exactly what I'd put in my feedback questionnaire last year! 

I really like it.  It's modern, simple, will be easy for young uns to enjoy drawing, feeding their obsession that will continue for life. 

Gutted about the bridge though.

Hahaha sorry guys and girls, dont get the opportunity to take the piss out of you lot too often but this is one of them! 

That is dreadful.

Did you post this from Doncaster? You must have done as all sags are ‘loyal and true’ - until it comes to home and away games - but you may well have posted this from Yorkshire because @bodin insisted that he or she posted on here while they were at Gillingham away - and we all obviously believed Bodin, because when you are at a midweek away game, your first thought is to post on your rival’s forum throughout the evening.....so how is the weather up in Doncaster? And how did you get on tonight? Didn’t catch the result....

Meh.  I quite like the actual robin design, and it looks really smart on the black training gear they've shown. 

The 1894 bit seems weird and out of place and I dislike the whole circular badge design.  I mean, it genuinely looks almost identical to the Brentford one so all this rubbish about wanting it to be instantly recognisable is nonsense.

Also agree with people saying the bridge should've been incorporated in it.

Disappointed.

I wondered if he actually knows what ‘identity’  is supposed to mean? 

I’m amazed that the powers that be haven’t realised what made football so spiralling in the first place.

What's it got to do with you, coming from a club that for some reason have a pirate on their badge, now that is dreadful, don't think your mob are in a position to take the piss out of us for anything, you really are struggling if thats all you can take the piss out of us for, safe journey to you and the thousands on the journey back from Doncaster United.

A pirate seems very appropriate when linked with the sags......they try to steal everything in sight too.....a scabby, lowlife, squatting vulture type club.....

Really disappointed with it. Looks very bland to me and the design is far from original. PSG, Man City and Brentford off the top of my head have the same design!

However a few minor touches like this one and it might grow on me...

That is so much better than the one they've chosen, and I quite like the new badge.

It’s bad but it’s not Leeds bad. Which means there won’t be enough of a fuss kicked up, which means it’s staying I reckon.  

Would be nice if they took some feedback on board from a wider fan base and put the bridge on but you can be sure that the orders are already in with this stamped printed and stitched on everything

Good to see some forum members produced far better options than the one we've got in considerably less time it took the club. Instead, we've got a badge like Brentford and a kit like Walsall. The Suspension Bridge has to be part of our badge if we're bring the robin back at long last. 

Great work, Ashton and Lansdown Junior.

Oranges were unknown in the UK until 15th - 16th century but, when they were introduced, they were called “oranges”. The word “orange” then began to be used for the colour, that had previously just been a shade of red.

Concluded it does reflect the Club identity .... best intentions but we never quite get it right.

The robin and ball is ok, the outer circles and date horrible. The ‘Bristol City’ lettering doesn’t sit well for me either.

Accept the need for an uncluttered design but a stylised Suspension Bridge was a ‘must’ - for Mr Aston’s benefit that is a USP and part of our DNA.

Shit badge, shit kit, looks more like a penguin than a robin

Are you sure that people haven’t been showing you Robins all your life and saying “hey, look, there’s a penguin”...?!

What has the bridge actually got to do with our club though..?

id like the bridge on there, personally, but it hardly “has to be part of our badge” 

How many football clubs actually have a landmark from their City on their club badge..? Some, but very, very few..!

The biggest concern for me...is a multi million pound corporation, trying to get to the most illustrious league in the World...and that is the best they can do 

They have actually sat there at some point and said "this is bloody brilliant. People will love it"

Just proves how out of touch with the fan base this club now are .

This is the whole point of the badge change in my opinion, the football has been removed and replaced with a circle, the bridge has been removed so it doesn’t scream Bristol. So from the kit badge remove the rings, remove the name Bristol city and they are hoping people will wear it outside of match days as a fashion label

Nibor was our fashion brand.  ?

Can’t see that Ted Baker is going to be too worried about sales being lost to nylon shirts and polo shirts tbh.  I really don’t think anyone apart from a City supporter would buy it and can’t see the badge suddenly creating a style craze whatever it is.  A few will buy as it’s the ‘new’ badge but that’ll last a season.

Those that buy this stuff always will, those that don’t won’t.  

 

And that’s coming from someone that quite likes it.

Lack of suspension bridge is my only gripe, but I got 3 out of the 4 things I wanted so alright by me.

Badge design is an entirely subjective matter with a wide range of preferences; some like traditional, some like modern, some like intricate, some like minimal.

The poll on the other thread shows that more people like it than dislike it; that’s not a bad result for the club, particularly on Day 1 when people haven’t had a chance to get used to it or establish any affection for it.

Given the consensus view is favourable, perhaps your overtly negative view (what a surprise!) is the one that is more “out of touch”.

The bridge is close to the stadium (or rather, the stadium is close to the bridge). But the two things are entirely separate entities, might as well say the SS Great Britain or Bristol Temple Meads should be on the badge.

I bet Isombard Kingdom Brunel was a gashead anyway. I mean, who isn’t..?! And he’s not even been around since 1982 anyway..!

We’d have a bloody big badge if that was the criteria..! 

It's the most famous landmark in Bristol, and is visible from inside Ashton Gate. Not to mention the fact that it's been on our badge for many years in our history. I'd say its very much part of our identity.

I’m sorry... where is the delicately placed football, with a Robin balanced on the top, eveident in that picture..?

Come to think of it... where are the 2 (not one, but 2!) unicorns, stood in perfect symmetry on either side of the towers...?!

Mate, I’d have kept the coat of arms all day long. But people have been campaigning against that for that past couple of decades...!!

So should we put Del Boys flat on the crest? Can see that from around the ground.

Let's get David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst for the promotional material for it.

 

This time next year we'll be millionaires.

That would be so much more suited to a rovers promotional vidoeo..!

Occured to me immediately after posting that the three non city things between my post and the one I quoted were related through IKB.

But definitely a gashead, he designed a boat, and guess who used boats? Pirates! (I've been working on my gas logic) So he must be their most famous fan.

I bet he used to hire Irene regularly too. In Plymouth, or America, obviously. I’m pretty sure she’s got less to do with Bristol than the 2 unicorns on the cities coat of arms..!

Which ones have an easily identifiable image related to their clubs, other than the club’s nickname..?

You would need to know the history of the club I guess. Rotherham have a Windmill, Forest have a tree.....but the others would need a bit of explaining to most people.

I think that Forest having a tree is embarrassing to the point of being funny, even if there’s nothing actually wrong with the badge itself. 

Are Rotherham confusing themselves with Rotterdam..?! 

Surely it’s only a significant image if those from elsewhere know what it’s about...?

Anyway, like I said, most are just an image of their nickname. Like ours now is... so I can see exactly why we’ve gone down that road.

Looked it up. Hardly monumentous..! I tried copy & pasting a picture of the tower, but couldn’t. It’s hardly “magnificent”..!!

Here is the description....

Central to Everton FC’s famous crest is the magnificent tower or bacon emblazoned in the centre. The tower has stood on Everton brow since the 18th century and originally housed drunks and petty criminals overnight before they were taken before local trials.

Is the Liver bird really that prominent a Liverpool landmark..? But yes, that’s one. I’m not saying there aren’t any, but I don’t think there are many.

I lived in Liverpool for 6 years, that’s their suspension bridge.  The ‘Graces’ are a world heritage site (until Liverpool screw that up with shite developments nearby).

Yet Liverpool FC were founded in 1892, with the Liver buildings being built between 1908-11..?

The Cormarant was always a symbol of the City as I understand it, maybe the crest did proceed the physical representation on the building.  I reckon you’re correct on that.

 

edit: Just checked and you are completely correct, the club crest definately preceeded the building.  Which leads to the question why aren’t there massive Robins on each corner of the Radisson Blu?
