Our Badge

[Thornliebank]

Have City ever condoned slavery ? No. These people should be told to shut up and f*ck off.

Godwin's law in the second paragraph with the reference to the eagle crest. The nazi eagle looked the opposite way and the eagle is a ubiquitous in European heraldry.

No need to read any further than that tbh.

Why not campaign to change Manchester's coat of arms first rather than trying to place undue pressure on the clubs and try to force a commercial decision and the council to follow?

Do we have to burn all memorabilia featuring the ship and the eagle "with a whiff of nazism"?

If we want to play this game let’s get rid of Liverpool who are a city, I heard, actively fought to keep slavery!

 

[argyle]

It’s gone beyond that. These are people who cannot be reasoned with. Privileged people who can rely on the bank of mummy and daddy if required and who have not the slightest idea what real life is like. They are a cult, and a dangerous one at that.
They want to cancel basically every facet of history and society that has gone before them. Except the bits that suit them. They are the new fascists.

what a load of bollocks.

the article didn't want to cancel the badge.

Most of the articles complaining about cancelling something are complete rubbish. Doesn't seem to stop people being paranoid that they're being cancelled.

you're getting angry over nothing.

What the flip is a Liver bird anyway?!

They’re not that rare these days, a funny shade of orange with lips like a duck and a fat wobbly backside.

It's time for @Ric to step in now and change the Bluemoon logo immediately.

We can't have our reputation as an elite football discussion forum tarnished like this.

Yep I always thought the ‘ship’ actually represented the boating lake at Platt Fields

Wears hair curlers and slippers on the plane

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Let's abandon the ship and slap a tram on it. Trams haven't hurt anyone outside of Corrie, right?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Derby County should remove the ram from their badge because it might upset vegans and ewe can't be having that.

 

[glasg0wblue]

What about an oil well to represent our owners, surely that wouldn't upset anyone?

yeah that "massive" boat all the kids piled on to and went round the lake.

Not a slave in sight and Lincolns statue was there.

"The Barnard statue was sent to Manchester on the strength of the support of local cotton workers for Lincoln, the Union and the abolition of slavery in the American Civil War. "

 

[Manchester33]

Mancunian people can actually be quite proud of their role in abolishing slavery. Research the history behind Lincoln Square.

Deserves a shout.
