π±πππ. Very very good but also tragic. Β The guy is a liability and really likes the spotlight. Many of those that love him may get their wet dream, in the not too distant future π How about to bring the pirate theme into the here and now why not have a Somalian Pirate toting an AK-47??? Or maybe not, probably doesn't sit well with the family club image I guess. This had crossed my mind too Maybe a picture taken from the recent Johnie Depp and Amber Heard trial. Eg,Amber's face on telling how her dog was stung by a bee. Maybe JDs face on mentioning how he enjoyed a drink. Bitter divorce being very much part of family life these days.

Let's have a picture of Joey and Eddy Jennings biting heads off Robins, while wielding cutlasses. Tastefully of course.
After all, some reckon they'll be owners of the club soon. π

I think the skull would be the best image from those three, plenty of colour needed though, not just a monotone image, not too sure about the shape of the emblem though, perhaps the third offering with the skull protruding beyond its outline ?!

Crossed sabres could look good.
Silver blade with bronze coloured handle.
Nothing else.
Bold,easily recognisable as Bristol Rovers.

BLUF... Yesterday an e-mail from the club "New Crest Survey Follow-Up": " The survey highlighted that a majority (52%) of respondents were open to changing the crest, therefore the club has taken the decision to further explore our options." The question "Would you be open to a change ..." (I can't remember the exact wording) was incidental to the main questions, it was further on from having already replied to say I'm happy with the current crest and that I don't want a change. As soon as I saw it I thought Ah! That's a marketing person's type question and would probably be used in some way to back up the decision they'd already made. When the 52% was first mentioned by TG, someone else (on the other forum I think) said they wish they hadn't ticked that extra box now, as they didn't want to change and had only ticked it on the basis that if the club had produced some new amazing design they might be open to a change. Timeline... 08/09/2022 - email from the club "New Crest Survey". " As we approach our 140th anniversary year, it provides a good opportunity for a period of reflection as we celebrate our history but also look forward to the future. As a club, over the past few years we have attempted to make improvements across all areas of the club to modernise, professionalise and ultimately to drive the club forward. The current crest is also celebrating its own milestone this year as it has been in use for 25 years. Lots has changed over that 25-year period, not only for the club but also in wider society and now feels the right time to work with you, the supporters, to review this and see if we can make any improvements or changes to better represent the club moving forward. We would therefore like to start a consultation process to gain some initial feedback on the current badge and possible new ideas as to how we represent ourselves as a club moving forward. As part of this process, we would like to invite you to take part in a survey and share your views. Once we have collated initial opinion then we may create a small focus group to discuss ideas and concepts further. Working together we can redefine what the future of our club looks like." 17/09/2022 - Rovers v Lincoln programme Tom's 'Insider Knowledge' article contains the reasons for the survey: " Prior to the news of Her late Majesty's passing, we had begun a process of gathering feedback and ideas around the possibility of changing the club crest. The reason for this is that, after 25 years, we believe it is time to look at updating the crest with the current offering being non-symmetrical, using old fonts that aren't used elsewhere. "Furthermore, the current pirate doesn't feel as strong as it could be. Due to all of these things, there is a feeling internally that we could create something that represents our traditions and identity in a more modern way. "At the time of writing, we have had 2,763 responses to the survey, with 52 per cent of supporters open to a change." 20/09/2022 - article in the Bristol Post, which extracts some of Tom's explanation from the programme: www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-rovers-ceo-explains-club-760677224/10/2022 E-mail from the club "New Crest Survey Follow-Up" full text: " We would like to thank you for your response to our new crest survey. Having reviewed all responses thoroughly, the time has now come for us to take the next step in the process, which will involve gaining further thoughts based upon your initial comments. Before inviting you to complete our follow-up survey, we would like to provide you with a general update: The survey highlighted that a majority (52%) of respondents were open to changing the crest, therefore the club has taken the decision to further explore our options. Having identified recurring themes of what people would and would not like to see, one area of consistency was that supporters did not want to see a circular crest in a template that other clubs have used. We would like to reiterate that there is no intention to follow this route. Through this following survey, we will be looking to further consult with you to help us create something unique, that represents the club and how we wish to be portrayed moving forward. We would now like to invite you to fill out the following survey. Within this we will also provide you with further analysis from the previous survey, which will explain the process that has been followed so far." So the 52% hasn't changed since between 17/09/2022 and 24/10/2022. Let's have a look at Tom's reasons for the change... 1) Non-symmetrical - that's really a problem Tom?? 2) Fonts aren't used elsewhere - change the font then Tom if it bugs you so much. 3) Pirate doesn't feel as strong as it could be - Ah! There we are then Tom. A few people have got in your ear to say the Pirate looks a bit camp. Probably people that have been teased by City supporting friends. In my opinion it's the best FC crest in the country. No need to change thank you.

Sorry but I cant see what crossed sabres have got to do with Rovers. To me crossed sabres means US cavalry,John Wayne,soldier Blue etc. How about a badge in the outline of a gasometer ? could be done in a few variations,half way up for the normal supporter,empty for the anti B***** faction,exploding for the B***** lovers. I definitely think that the present badge is embarrassing and needs changing,but make it available for people who like it,I have a few of the old crest badges that I sometimes wear.

I think the concept and layout for the existing crest is still very good, and only needs a few minor tweeks to the Pirate itself to bring it up to speed.
My Tweeks would be :
1) Lose the flimsy Rapier type sword and replace with a proper Pirate Cutlass and improve pirate hand/wrist shape (holding Cutlass)
2) The figure itself looks more like a French Gentleman of the period, not a Pirate, so would do the following.
2a) Increase the size of the Tricorn Pirate hat with a more pointy definition.
2b) Lose the aristocratic buckle shoes and replace with Pirate boots.
2c) Front Button Yellow Fastning detailing on the Pirate coat is too low, it needs to move upward towards the Yellow sash.
2d) Pirate himself needs to increse by 10 kilo, and more rugged in definition, but not scruffy.
I thank you, and yep, Iβm bored.

Calico Jack Rackham,a pirate that had crossed sabres and a skull as a flag. I just selected the one I could like out of the 3 examples. Edward Teach flag or play on it is my choice,although as said I could like a cross sabre badge. We agree ,the current badge ain't right.

I hadnt heard of him so I looked on Wikepedia, sorry not convinced, if you want to see crossed sabres badges have a look at images of F troop (old tv series) they have the badge on the front of their hats.

Reading a bit about pirates and it seems that some were slave traders,that seems negative especially after the Colston statue affair.

Crossed Sabres / Crossed Swords ... I'd prefer the word Cutlass ... all the same really.
Although Crossed Cutlasses is a bit clumsy. Crossed swords for me, and the Pirate holds a cutlass.
