    It's alright. Home shirt is spot on though.

    The shirt is reasonable.

    The Robin … That could be anybody due to its design. Bland, uninspired ..

    I quite like it - it's simple but bold.

    Don't like it. Copied Brentfords design stuck a Robin on it and forgot the bridge. It doesn't even look professionally designed. will stick to the retro stuff fans knock out. cheaper too.

    Like the shirt, the badge looks like a tacky bit of clip-art.

    shirt looks like one of my old grandads vests, and that badge;;;; nooo, why are we afraid of keeping a little class and history, in the form of the old badge,?

    Some thinking here. I think Jon Lansdown is being a mite uneven in regards to consultation. Fans contribution to this change has been near non existent.

    Would rather have the bridge in the background - prefer the shirt to this years

    that is the most disgusting interpretation of a Robin I have ever seen ...must rank along side worst shirt designs ever … Florest comes to mind, think we have replaced them as top of the list!
    since when has a robin had a red head and red bum ……!?
    WHEN THE RED HEAD ROBIN GOES A bum bum BUMMING ALONG, WHEN ………………...

    Stick to the tried and true and bollocks to all this need for change. Would I be my usual cynical self by saying that it probably has more to do with shirt sales than a change for the better?

    That would be one very plausible reason. In the clip earlier I posted Jon Lansdown mentions owning the badge, or something similar, as I understand it BCFC cannot own the crest.

    Not keen on the new badge tbh. I liked the coat of arms.
    That being said, to me it’s as relevant and important as not liking the colour of the tiles in the gents toilet - ie I don’t really care. If the guys who wear it play at their very best for it then I’m happy.

    Think the shirt is class.

    The Robin I love as our emblem always reminds me of City.
    Simple and neat Gould have designed three and let the fans vote via the main website.

    looks like a bent paper clip?
    it has no resemblance to a robin in all of its aspects

    it is the wrong shape, more like a linnet, should be more rounded / plumper see RR's picture, [ for its shape ]"its called a robin REDBREAST because that is its claim to fame .
    grandson said it looks like a worm trying to balance on a oil drum!
    Grandaughter says do not buy me one of those it is hideous ….
    other granddaughter says it will nice when it is finished!!!!
