4 The City Ground Robin Artist – Sophia Edwards. Painted by Claire Thompson and Anna Roberts at Nottingham Playhouse.
This desigh was created by 14-year-old Sophia Edwards. Sophia’s entry was a clear competition winner for Forest as it perfectly captured and combined two iconic things about the city of Nottingham – Nottingham Forest Football Club and Robin Hood, The combination of Forest kit and a sparky green ‘Robin Hood’ tights were seen as the perfect combination. Everyone at the club was also a huge fan of the cheeky wink in Sophia’s design something Brian Clough would have enjoyed.

Many Folklorists claim that the legend of Robin Hood is derived from the ancient image of the Green Man, or related figures such as Jack in the Green or Robin Goodfellow (puck).
