Wasn't that Cheltenham?
I can remember Roger Malone (cunt) from HTV referring to them as the robins in the 80s. |

I've never understood this argument, even with just the shirts...it seems every time one comes out there is always at least one clown saying 'it looks too much like a City shirt'
Its pretty simple really. When I started going regularly we wore all red and city wore red and white. Then we changed (back) to red and white - but by that time I'd already associated all red with us and red and white with City. Of course people who started going long before me, when we wore red and white will associate red and white with us rather than City. |

Would love us to go back to the white shorts! Better look.
When did we go back to having red shorts? Wasn't it the last time we were in League 2 in 06/07? I'm sure we played with white shorts when we got relegated in 2006?

I stared going in 1986 and the kit was red with white shorts, in the 1969 final we wore white? Was white our "home" colours then or was that the away kit at the time?

White was the away kit at the time but in the final Arsenal were the 'home' team, so we had to play in our away kit - we didnt choose to!

Likely being a similar age to you, I feel the same. But it wasn't really directed at you....it seems regardless of the colour of the shorts there's always some moron saying the shirt looks like a City Shirt whenever a new one is brought out. |

I like the all red kit, enough said.
I'm sure there is a thread where everyone digging up having red shorts a few years back.

I grew up with red and white, but I actually prefer the all red kit.
So many other teams play in red and white, its nice to be a little different.
While we're at it, I'd love to change our nickname from the Robins to the Moonrakers, it really annoys me that a few other teams are called the Robins, it just seems a little errrmm, generic?
Now I've been going regularly to the CG since 1979 so it not like I'm a new fan forgetting tradition or anything but for some reason, the Robins thing just annoys the piss out of me.
We've changed our crest as often as my Uncle has changed wives, so why not the nickname?
I await a torrent of abuse...

Wouldn't be the first time the nickname had changed. And we'd get rid of Rockin' Robin in the process! |

Oh yeah, now that's a bonus I hadn't thought of.... perhaps we could get Ray Howell back with his gown and rake instead.... So what would the Robinette's be called then? The Moonies? |
