Yet again this subject rears its head. Yet again the vote is to keep current badge. Give up lads , you lost 😜 I’m with you Bro, do not fck with the badge, and while I’ve got my rant on ...let’s have the quarters on the back of the shirt as well. ....and white shorts and socks. Please. UTG!

I like it and I think for branding it’s perfect. I have really got into NFL the last few years and the reason I picked the team I follow is through their crest/badge. It has potential to be a very clever marketing tool with the right people. I do love our current badge still though

I do love our current badge still though Another clever marketing tool that we haven’t tried yet is not to be absolutely bloody rubbish . I think if we’re ‘good’ we would get loads more fans .

I like the current crest but if we do change it then the Skull & Crossbones would look good on a blue and white quartered background shield.

Am I a "Traditionist" or a "Moderniser". Toughest question of the day for me being an old git. Ah to hell with it, I shall throw my hat in with those who want change.

Looks a bit too American to me.

Totenkopf is the name SS Nazis regiments called the skull on their badge. If adopted it should increase our away support, all those neo Nazis out there will see it as a real symbol that needs support. but on the positive is very much like the badge of the 17th Lancers or were they in the ss as well?

Looks too mean, you'll probably get women and kids saying it's not in keeping with our family club image, others will blame Barton and then people will talk of the slave trade and lawless pirates etc...how about a pink unicorn instead? less controversial! Lol

What’s wrong with our crest? It’s got a great uniqueness to it much like our kit, the one in that picture is boring and plain. A 5 year old could draw it lol

I think the skull and crossbones theme could generate some cool merchandise and attract many overseas followers in the way that St. Pauli does in Hamburg. Bristol has strong links to piracy and is a historic port town (much like Hamburg). The club needs to reinvent itself after this last 12 months and this change in badge etc. would be part of the process.

Have said it before numerous times and agree that the merchandise needs reinventing and improving, but happy enough with the current badge.

Big yes from me, more clubs are now adopting more minimalist badges and I think it would look great.

Lol Why just women and children? I’m a bloke and I’m inclined to agree it isn’t the most family friendly.

Lol I like it, but unicorns are white. Keep it real. How about the unicorn impaling a horse puncher under a rainbow. To reaffirm ourselves as an all inclusive family friendly Club.
