Let’s have the coat of arms. Let’s go back to the 70s and bring back bovver boots and terrace fights whilst we’re at it too. let's not forget the donkey jacket.

Personally I rather have a badge/ crest incorporating the Bristol coat of arms . We’ve been there and had that in the 60’s

I quite like the current one, it’s basic, incorporates the quarters, the ‘black pirate’, our date and is noticeable all over the world. It’s standoutness is good and recognisable in itself. You don’t need to get close to see it’s us. I’ve seen it all over the world from a distance, it does stand out! But, the email from the club was decent. It sets out a process and they are doing their best to involve us. If you’re going to change anything this process seems ok. I’d say it’s not needed but...if you’re going to then this seems a decent way to do it. I hope there is an option not to change it but I bet with all this effort that will not be an option!
UTG!
ps. I hope this doesn’t upset anyone but please no circle design which you need a magnifying glass to see who it belongs to or anything that is so subtle you have to ask ‘what the....is that?’ (I know part of our current badge does have a circle design in it but it doesn’t come over as a circle design)

You realise that skulls and crossbones make us the baddies?

It has to change . One person who has moved to Bristol has probably complained about it Probably from London . . .

I love the badge. I think it’s unique and immediately identifiable. I don’t want a *ing gash bird or anything like that. Come on people, we’ve got a pirate on our badge…..a pirate ~ how cool is that?!

Thoughts & prayers with every Gashead rocking the current badge Tattoo Thank you. I got mine when we dropped down to the Conference and if I must have another only want a new one to celebrate our entry to the Premier League. Wael and Tom, please don't change it. If you do, my right calf is available for a new tattoo which you can film being done and use as a tweet to release it.

Worth considering.
Things NOT REQUIRED.
A bird with a prominent red breast.
The Clifton Suspension Bridge.
A black and white panelled football.
The Bristol Coat of Arms.
The years 1894 and 1982.
RED.
Things TO CONSIDER.
BLUE.
The Gas theme.
The Pirate concept.
The year 1883.
Visual simplicity.
Quarters.
Our future home.
Only change the crest if the new image is easily recognisable, is unique and has broad support.

Whoever thought this idea up needs the sack so they can go work somewhere else where they actually need a rebrand I actually think the general response shows it was worthy of a survey.

Do we still use the word 'Pirates' when referring to us? Gas, yes, but I never think of us as the Pirates. Maybe it is time for a change but it will have to be a superb iconic design or we may just as well stick with what we have. Something incorporating the word 'Gas' - I don't think a Gasometer would be a good look though!!

Not many FL clubs with a badge as old as ours. Id wager we’ve probably had the current one longer than most of the other 91 clubs.

This is exactly how I feel. I definitely think we should look into it though, our current badge has some very basic errors. EG. We must be the only "crest" in the country that doesn't centrally align properly (because the sword sticks out). Looks so bad on TV/apps etc. I don't hate it at all - but it does look quite dated and it very much feels like a... "well, it'll do" for me atm. The sword sticking out is a bit crap. It also results in the main part of the badge (i.e the circle) being displayed off-centre, which looks awful.

I would love a design that encorporated the blue & white quarters and a skull & crossbones.
I do like the current badge though.
It is right that the club look at all aspects of the Bristol Rovers brand. I actually think that Bristol City did a good job with their minimalistic new badge design. Also the Bristol Bears logo is very well done. The right design could be very good.

Would like to keep the current badge but somehow make the sword no longer outside the circle (maybe by the side) for reasons of alignment and must be harder to get on the kit? Update font and clearer for digital use ok by me
