Definitely not in the 1980s The real historians may have a better idea, but I do vaguely recall the Bristol crest on the shirt from some photos in the 1950s, but it was pretty short lived if that was the case. I know the Bristol crest was worn on club blazers during the 1970s (and presumably before). This site: www.historicalkits.co.uk/Bristol_Rovers/Bristol_Rovers.htmsuggests the crest was adopted in the 1950s, but never worn on the shirts. I used to have a triangular flag with it on, I was given it in the 80s thats why Im a bit confused I suppose, it may well have been from the 50s Triangular flag defintely sounds like it was from the 1950s

I think our pirate has got a bit of a camp captain jack sparrow look about it but I do like having a pirate. He just doesn’t look that tough and pirates should be tough looking and not camp. Johnny Depp can get away with it not sure about our badge though. We're ahead of th times Socrates pal. He's actually gender neutral! whatever th chuffk that means

(Tiddly om pom pom), Nunc universo gaudio, Ludo pensisque functi, etc, etc,......Sumus Bristolienses. Ought to be able to adapt the old school song as a Rovers refrain especially where the multiple repetitions of “Sit” in the chorus were always shouted out with an extra h in them. 😂 ah, now I know we went to the same school. Back in the day (1970s to be precise) I seem to recall that the rendition of the grand finale, 'Sumus Bristolienses', was the only 3 seconds of the year that united the Rovers and City contingents in the classroom
