Bristol Rovers - Moving in on our club crest.

[Greystones Blade]

I think most cutlasses were made in Birmingham or London. I did read on wiki that some were imported from Solingen in Germany! Solingen is the cutlery capital of Germany. No mention of them being made in Sheffield in that article. Good to know that there were some Sheffield makers.

Clubs won't be happy until their logos are a soulless but ever so simple, generic, easily replicable logomark that can be more easily used for TNT Sports' pre-match graphics. Never mind the history, or the quirks. It's the Costa coffeeification of design.

What a time to be alive.

Who started it???

They look like plastic cocktail sticks on the Bristol badge.

We should redesign our badge to feature the Iraqi Supergun, thanks to the links with Sheffield Forgemasters.

Just imagine what the whole country can churn out to tool up the rogue states now Labour are in! All the Palestine flags in Nether Edge make my heart sing.. NOT

“Okay guys- so you know the mascot, yeah? Who’s primary role is to appeal to kids, right? Gets in photos with them on match days, all that. Well, that, but with a modern, edgy twist? Hear me out…. but what if Pop Up Pirate was a paedophile????”

One would imagine Rovers, seeing as they are the topic of the thread.

One of my favourite jokes from Twikker:

How do you spell "constipation?"

"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

Now, if someone can come up with a pirate version.

Captain Blade got to the pies before him too.

I often sound like a pirate while...

Their mascot is called Dan the Dagger Man from Dagenham.

For the last couple of years they have tooted a rebranding of the club and hinted at the use of crossed swords in referce to their maritime history and Pirates nickname.

But on sky news I have just stumbled upon an article with Kier Starmer holding up the Rovers shirt and I am saddened to see the crossed swords or scimitars on proud display on the upper rear of the shirt. How much of our club logo is trademarked or copyrighted (which ever applies). For me they are already infringing on our identity! Whilst they have the maritime history, we have used the clubs crest for decades now.

It actually bothers me, is it just me?

Maybe not a good idea to “ go after them “ ?

They may go after you too depending on age and gender.

Too soon?
