### hashtagGATE ### new kit and more hashtags

a major otib.co.uk melt down is currently happening over some hashtags
personally i don't mind them, i don't buy replica shirts and with my eye sight getting worse i probably won't even see them

do they bother you?

i do like the kit thou, my kids love it and want it

 

Not bothered about the hastags. Everyone uses them these days so why not?

Like the shirt, like the badge very clean looking.

Socks are naff mind

 

I don't think they are a good look or idea but not bothered that much. Think the kit would look better without them though. If Bristol Sport wanted to get their motto on their it should have been on the back of the collar and not in a hash tag form.

 

Looks like a Cardiff kit from last year

 

Could someone point out the hashtag please.

 

It is basically the same as an advert, not a great fan but it is fairly out the way on the kit

 

Completely unnecessary and a form of rebranding.

#makingbristolproud

What of blokes netball and go-karts!!

Bristol Sport are there to drive revenue into the FC not slowly take it over.

 

Donald Trumps barnet is more classy than #makingbristolproud.

 

As you are advertising the Bring back the Robin campaign would you have not preferred to see a Robin in celebration of 76?

 

Totally agree with you about the socks. Quite tacky

 

Well I certainly can't drum up the same anger as everyone else seems to have about it?

Its just another shirt to me, I wouldn't have put the hashtags there myself personally.. I remember fans were invited to help design last years kit and all the ensuing arguments after and leaks about it.. I assume thats why it didn't happen again.

I never buy shirts myself, so if it sells well or poorly?

 

Dream team website doesn't like it to say the least

Got to be honest, I never buy a shirt but I can't see why some are getting upset by it.

Maybe it's my eyesight but I struggle to see their numbers on the pitch so a little # is not going to bother me one bit

Some will try and make out I'm not a real fan because I've not bothered by little # about Bristol sport, but it's here.
There are more to life than worry about than who puts what onto the shirt. Plus it's probably an upstream in contribution putting money into the club via back door methods past FFP.

Every year we have the same thing "ooh don't like that" "it's gone away from tradition"
If you don't like it don't buy it! If you like to show your colours wear an older one, if you want tradition.

 

It has been good for publicity, have seen it being talked about on pages which normally wouldn't including one with over 7.5million likes

 

hate to display my total ignorance, but what exactly does a hashtag do?, does it serve any purpose.?

 

It's used on Twitter to show emphasis on something. Eg if I put "at Ashton gate to see #bristolcity #COYR" then if someone searched Twitter for #COYR or #bristolcity then it would come up with all the other tweets with that hashtag

 

thanks, mtg
