About the brand ❤️
Bristol Rovers Football Club is a historic English professional football club based in Bristol, competing in the English Football League (EFL). Founded in 1883 as Black Arabs FC, the club was soon renamed Eastville Rovers before settling on Bristol Rovers. Known by the nickname The Pirates due to Bristol’s maritime heritage, Rovers play home matches at the Memorial Stadium, a dedicated football venue in the city. The club has fluctuated between divisions over its long history, building a loyal local fanbase and strong community presence. Unique among many English clubs, Bristol Rovers is majority owned by the Bristol Rovers Community Trust, meaning supporters play a significant role in governance and long-term strategy. On the pitch, Rovers have contested numerous league campaigns and memorable FA Cup ties, embodying both tradition and resilience. Off the pitch, the club is actively involved in charitable, educational, and community outreach programs across Bristol and the Southwest. Bristol Rovers’ identity is grounded in its loyal supporters, rich heritage, and commitment to representing its city with passion in national competition.
