Yes.Change the club badge.
As I've been known to mention,the current Pirate could be imo Barbara Windsor dressed up for Christmas pantomime.
I would look towards eg crossed swords or the Edward Teach flag or play on that original design.

I personally have never liked the badge. I think I'd rather see Pongo the Pirate as the club badge. (Now that is going back a bit). Whats wrong with the crest of Bristol with BRISTOL ROVERS FC around it.

I like the present badge, much better than its predecessor. Can the club really have the City crest when it is technically outside of the city boundary when at UWE as someone suggested?

By the same token, we should be called South Gloucestershire Rovers if we ever make the move? That's a nonsense arguement surely?

For the 2019/20 season we should revert to the squares badge of the 80's and 90's. It'll be the thirtieth anniversary of the Third Division Title win. I'd also like to see the shirt that season given a solid blue back like the 89/90 one.

To get the quarters around the right way, yes change the badge!

If it's that difficult forget the coat of arms (although I still think it would be a good idea as we are 'Bristol' Rovers) and use say Concord flying over the Suspension bridge, or the SS Great Britain. Just get rid of the pantomine character we have at the moment!

What has any of that got to do with Bristol Rovers?

We should change our badge to a green, white and orange back ground. Green for the grass, white for the white on our shirt and orange for our bright future. Then put the initials IRA in the middle for International Rovers Army in celebration of fans travelling to Portugal. Then a skull for our pirate heritage, a tank incase we close Gloucester Road again and three bullets because Ollie Clarke scores bullets...

I am rarely impressed by tattoos. Until now! FWIW I think I must have the most badly drawn and designed tattoo ever.

Seeing as The Blackthorn end have been singing that stupid IRA song again. What do the IRA have to do with Rovers. Kick sectarianism out of football

Certainly not. I love the pirate badge, one of the most unique designs in the country. All of my non-Gas friends compliment the badge and quarters, and every year the FIFA community votes it in the top 10 in English football. It's iconic and I wouldn't want it any other way.
