The year ‘1894’ is also printed on the new badge to celebrate 125 years since the club’s original formation as Bristol South End.

The robin features on City’s away kit this season, and following its popularity, the bird will appear on all of the club’s kits from next season onwards.















City Vice-Chairman John Lansdown said: “The robin has long been a symbol of Bristol City and has been part of our history through imagery, words and song.


“It’s important that we have an instantly recognisable crest that reflects the club and we want to fully own this symbolic part of our identity.”


Meanwhile, the club’s CEO Mark Ashton said: â€Å“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.
