Bristol City started a trend yesterday afternoon after they complained to Google that they hadn’t updated their new club crest yet.
After checking out their fixtures posted on Google, the Robins pointed it out in a tongue and cheek tweet and mentioned other clubs who wouldn’t be happy that they hadn’t change their crests either.
Bristol City wrote: “Hey @Google, fancy updating our crest? It’s been long enough. ?”

Hull tweeted: “We feel your pain, Bristol City ?”

Clubs tried bringing Sheffield Wednesday into the mix, but they decided to not join in with the teasing.
Preston responded at getting mentioned, they said: “Try waiting five years…?. Any chance @Google?”
