One thing has been annoying me for a very long time, not pasties, who owns what and when will they deliver it, where will it be and how will it look when /if it eventually gets here.......................whether DC is a god or a clown...................who has more tote end brownie points than the next man............. That shower of sh*t from south of the river appear to have claimed ownership of the crest of the City of Bristol as their property. It replaced that ridiculous robin on a football from the nineties and has been there since, albeit in a transitional form. The Rugby club still have their version of the crest. As Bristol's oldest football club it's about time we incorporated it into our kit, took it back, took ownership of it and disassociated the turds from their perceived ownership. There is no reason why we could not have two badges, the pirate on the chest, the Bristol crest on the heart of the shirt. Come on Wael, you know it makes sense. Wos fink like?

Totally right. We used to have it on our shirts and I'm sure it was on one end of the South stand at eastville. Bristol city do not represent the whole of Bristol.

Wasn't that crest on our shirts back in the 80s?

Agree with the principle but I've seen a Ted with it tattooed on his leg ... on second thoughts let's do it! What a brilliant stitch up that would be "ere mate ow cum youm got that Rovers tat on yer leg"?

I've always associated it with everything that is wrong. Bristol City council and the sheds.
It's a 'No' from me.

I'm sure rovers could have the coat of arms on the badge if they wanted to, but have chose something that represents the club. That lot can have the crest I'd rather not have a badge that appears on my council tax bill.

While we’re at it why don’t we get a #hashtw*t on our shirt as well. Teds can keep the crest, it’s old hat. Pirates forever. I’d rather have the 90’s quartered badge with the tyre mark on. Skids forever.

By raising this, you are fuelling and fulfilling their expectations on OTIB. The word is, very few of us care.

I'm more than happy to say that we dropped it rather than them adopt it for themselves.
There's a decent Toffs gas top with it on though!

Yes I totally agree and have thought the same for a long time, I had a tattoo of the coat of arms crest with Bristol Rovers F.C. wrote above on the ribbon on my left calf done in 1991 when the sh1t had their cartoon robin and suspension bridge badge only for them to change it to the coat of arms of Bristol a few years after. Imagine the stick I got from some of my sh1thead mates and lads I played football with but my response was of not giving two f@cks and Rovers being Bristol’s oldest professional club. I stayed defiant and it’s still there to the day, I ve been pulled by Rovers fans and 82ers alike over the past 26years for varying stories but would love to see Rovers revert to this badge it would shut those c@nts right up . I still think that mine other than having Bristol Rovers F.C. above is a far better design than their crap attempt , their unicorns look like a version of my little pony.

One one hand it annoys me and on the other it doesn’t.
It annoys me because City are trying to claim something that isn’t theirs and it’s the utter neck of it. A bit like the “welcome to Bristol” thing they had going on when they signed Taylor.
Would I like to see Rover use it? I would like to see Rovers change the club badge, I’ve never really liked it. I would like to see something Bristol related in the badge.
On the other hand, we have so many other important things to get straight that I don’t often think about it until someone mentions it, therefore, it doesn’t often annoy me!!

What's more Bristolian than a Pirate? Slavery, maybe but I can't really see that being an option. A bottle of sherry? A craft beer? A bloomin stewdent?
