Football kit news from the Championship as the new Bristol City 2019-20 home shirt featuring the clubs new crest has been revealed.
The 2019-20 Bristol City home shirt is predominantly red with thin white trim on the cuffs.
Both the Bristol Sport logo on the right breast and the Dunder shirt sponsor are coloured white.
On the left breast is the new Bristol City badge that will be used on all 2019-20 kits and teamwear.
The new round Bristol City crest will feature the return of the robin as well as the date ‘1894’ as the club will celebrate their 125th anniversary since forming when they were originally known as Bristol South End.
Jon Lansdown the Vice-Chairman of Bristol City said, “The robin has long been a symbol of Bristol City and has been part of our history through imagery, words and song. It is important that we have an instantly recognisable crest that reflects the club and we want to fully own this symbolic part of our identity.
“The robin was first used on our kit as far back as 1949 and has been used this season on the white away shirt which has been incredibly popular with supporters. From now on it will appear on all our kit and be a fundamental part of our identity.”
Bristol City Chief Executive Officer Mark Ashton said, “I am sure that supporters will be delighted with what we have achieved with the crest. It is bold, creative and symbolises what this club is all about.
“The return of the robin is something I know fans have wanted for a long time. We saw it return on this season’s away kit and now it is back for good.
“The updated crest takes Bristol City and Bristol City Women into a new era together and I can’t wait for what the next chapter will bring.”
Terrible! Like to see the robin return but what a poor depiction of one! And where’s the bridge? Won’t be buying another shirt till it’s gone, it’s a no from me
