There's nothing more generic than sharing a nickname with Bristol City, Cheltenham and about a million other clubs. Plus at least the dragon is related to Wales; Robins came in after being named after a director from Yorkshire. To do a similar thing now would lead to Spencer Harris changing the club's nickname to the Cornflakes, and having a man dressed as a Rice Krispie walking round the pitch.
I'm a little bit annoyed at this, it makes the whole process a joke. And it makes it look like there are people out there who really believe that putting on the Robin costume will take over the spirit of the man who wears it, and before you know it riding a bike around the pitch will be irresistible to the wearer. flip me.
