so please choose A.B OR C as your favourite

lets get it made and thank Robins hopefully back at the Ricoh..

Not keen on any. Think the design is a bit overcomplicated on them all. I personally liked the 2-tone style flags but if not that I'd keep it fairly simple.

What part of don't tinker any more, didn't you get?

Liquid Gold · Jul 3, 2020

Can we have a refund?

standupforcity · Jul 3, 2020

Disappointing choices!

ccfcchris · Jul 3, 2020

Sorry, it's all going downhill. Don't like any of them.

Rusty Trombone · Jul 3, 2020

I thought someone had drawn a pair of tits on his head for A.

On that basis I'll go for A.

jim20 · Jul 3, 2020

I would go with B, though is there not a better photo of Robins which can be used!

mark82 · Jul 3, 2020

Think 'none of the above' is winning at the moment.

It's kind of a weird thing to do, to ask people's opinions but also state you aren't willing to change the design. Frankly mate you should have just gone ahead and done it yourself. I don't think they're horrendous, think people are being overly critical. I think option B, the other 2 are too wordy and over complicated in my opinion. You're never going to please everyone

Deleted member 2477 · Jul 3, 2020

What happens if Robins leaves. You are then left with a flag that doesnt reflect the club or manager. A lot of money for something you wouldnt want to display if he went to another club ?

I gave people the choice to submit a design a few weeks back and only a few bothered .. people on here have criticized all or most the designs put forward but have offered nothing themselves. When I gave people the option to change things it got too messy so I now have to keep to a design to stop that happening again..

Johnnythespider · Jul 3, 2020

I like A, but only because he looks like he's had his Readybreak. Seriously i think you should just get the one you like done.
P.S i still think this wins

vow · Jul 3, 2020

None of the above, sorry.

You've been Sent to Coventry @Elton_Welby's_milkman

shmmeee · Jul 3, 2020

Hate to add to the negativity here but also not a fan of any of them, all too “current” and wouldn’t stand the test of time like the ones previously. Agree that they’re over designed as well.

Won’t ask for a refund, but ... yeah.

Evo1883 · Jul 3, 2020

May I add if you choose any, that maybe its best just to lose the hummel chevrons as we may not have them in 5 years but may have Robins still... Just a thought.. I like them myself

Otis · Jul 3, 2020

Please be kind, people, otherwise we might have an Elton Meltsby on our hands.

SBT · Jul 3, 2020

Elton Welby's designed flags for Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and by gum he's put them on the map!

Wiseoldfool · Jul 3, 2020

Even if/when Robins leaves he'll still be a sky blue legend just like Jimmy and for that reason I've voted B.

Actually I'd agree with that

JulianDarbyFTW · Jul 3, 2020

I've missed out on this whole flag malarkey. How big will it be, as in, will the text be readable from a distance? Is it intended for long term use?

Hi J.D , the flag will be a crowd surfer flag around 10 metres by about 6ish metres big , its to celebrate what Robins has done over the last few years and to show our appreciation, its not intended for long term use, if Robins was to leave the club I for one would still be eternally grateful for the work he has done. Who knows a new one could be designed for next year.. (by someone else ) one for actual Coventry city FC

Covcraig@bury · Jul 3, 2020

None for me , cheesy as fuck all of them ..
Back to the drawing board me thinks

GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee · Jul 3, 2020

Understand the frustration at the criticism as you've clearly put a lot of time and effort into the project, but have to agree with those suggesting that 'none of the above' would also be my honest vote.

matesx · Jul 3, 2020

For me......

The MR image you have used on a Sky Blue background with a 2 tone border

The word LEGEND in black, bold large block font underneath his image.

Cov Crest in a corner.

All who agree do a like

Paxman II · Jul 3, 2020

according to flag A we got twins.

Yep, something like that could actually work. Although I'd personally just use white background with 2-tone border, image of Robins and have 'legend' (or whatever text) in sky blue.

Could maybe do it with Hill and Sillett too and use the plural. Simple, easy on the eye.

Think it was tongue in cheek. Don't think he actually wants a refund.

Legia Sky Blue · Jul 3, 2020

Quite disappointing that these are the 3 options. I thought previously that the 2 Tone link was an excellent idea, and I also liked the Mount Rushmore flag linking Robins to Hill, Curtis & Sillett. Therefore none of the above for me too - you may as well just do whatever you want to do to be honest.

Alkhen · Jul 3, 2020

dont get forever a skyblue, thats just asking for it

I'd go a little from A and a little from B

Like this but better

Skybluemichael · Jul 3, 2020

Can I get my money back?
