I dunno, up close I like the simplicity of it.....
....but from far away it looks like my arse the morning after I've had an extra hot curry.

This has presumably been designed by the same child genius that did their training tops with the comic sans script on them a couple of years ago. They just keep on giving.

With all red underparts this is closer to an American Robin whose Latin name appropriately enough for s**theads is Turdus migratorius #TwitcherGas By god, this is actually true. Tip of the hat to you and your bird knowledge sir!

What I don't understand is this. City, Cheltenham, Swindon, and even Frome are all called the "Robins". Sorry but it is unique as bird sh**

Sorry but it is unique as bird sh** Surprised that they have stuck with it as a nickname so unimaginative every other team in red has robins as a nickname. At least they changed their theme tune from When the red red robin goes bob Bob bobbing to the Wurzells though it's hardly a terrace song. I bet they wish they had a unique nickname that identifies them like the Gas does us. Many thanks to whoever thought that name up. Oh! Hang on.

For me it just epitomises everything I hate about City. It’s a copy and paste job from Brentford or Walsall’s badge and just lacks any trace of originality. There are plenty of teams called City, plenty that wear red with a white trim and even a fair few that share the “robin” mascot. It’s all so artificial and boring. For all our faults, we are incredibly unique, there aren’t that many Rovers around, only one other team in the entire football league play in quarters, we have a quirky and original club anthem in Goodnight Irene and no other team is nicknamed either the pirates or the gas. I’d never trade that to be in the position that City are in, it's part of why I love the club so much.

I understand that they can't use 'the sh**' on their club crest for family reasons. But 'the teds' lends itself superbly to their new family-oriented plastic Bristol Sport approach to 'soccer'. A crest with a teddy bear on would be unique amongst the English football league (I think!) and would also have some excellent synergy with their big brother club the Bristol Bears.

And people think they are obsessed with us. Two pages in just a couple of hours on their badge. Who cares?
No one here cares but it is fecking hilarious that with all their money and being such a big club they can't even design a half decent club badge!

Since when did their nickname become “The Budgies”? I would normally advise doing lots of research before getting a tattoo, but if any of them are getting that inked even the most artistically challenged should be able to knock that one out.

It looks like they are trying to simplify it into some sort of iconic, easily recognisable form that will stand on its own without the Bristol City bit, like the liverpool badge or the spurs badge. Unfortunately for them, they're not as well known as those two teams, and the robin is a sh** bird to be doing that with. And it's a crap design in any case.

It looks like Cheltenham via Nottingham Forest on a Brentford background. Very franchise. Not awful but I preferred the retro looking one they had on this year's away kit.
Shall we talk about Rovers?
