Club Badge (merged)

[urban genie]

This isn't aimed specifically at you Gx, but is the Red rose of Lancashire particularly relevant to us now? we are not part of Lancashire anymore.

Electorally and metropolitanary (if spelt that way ??)maybe but Geographically, Historically and deep in the soul we will always be Lancastrian, after all we all think yorkshires a shit hole at heart don't we?

No, you're right it doesn't anymore. I just like that badge and if we had to pick one of the 3 options presented to us on the email City sent then that would certainly be my choice. I also just wanted to see what it looked like on the kit we had today.

I don't think it was the badge that did it to be honest as it's the same badge we had under Pearce.

Yes, we had Peter Swales, Alan Ball, John Benson, Frank Clarke, Sam Ellis, Howard Kendal with the old round one. Too many bad memories, maybe a few tweaks with the current one.

Hmm... So because the St. Marks Cross is similar/if not the same to the Maltese cross, why include this as well?

I'm sure The Connell family wondered why include a symbol all the way from Malta when we have no connection to this place?

The Red Rose is far closer to home than a fucking bee and a Lion... when was the last time you saw a Lion in town?
As for bee's.. that's even more rare.

you may note I said particularly relevant. The last time I checked the bees, and lion are still on the Manchester crest, in which city we reside. The cross you refer to is/was symbolic only. Apart from that, great post.

I don't think anyone below 35 cares in the slightest about Lancashire/Yorkshire.

just incase we can't get crosses on the badge nowadays - what about if they are replaced by the rose?

This one is looks very nice too... just wonder wether the M.C.F.C. is needed if it says Manchester City Football Club?

 

[CitizenTID]

one on the left

That looks the most City of any of the fan made designs I've seen. Don't like the shape of the inner shield or the est.1894 and the stripes need tidying but a neater version of that would be great. We don't need any black strip in the middle - the old badge didn't and the coat of arms doesn't. I think the red rose makes it feel like the old badge but with a modern look - best of both worlds.

We definitely don't need Manchester City Football Club and M.C.F.C. text on the badge anyhow.

so is the rose around the lion and antelopes necks, the eagle that we use now was ditched as a symbol of manchester a while ago so it makes sense to do the same, but the ROse of Lancashire still has ties to the city

 

[goatersnipple]

I think most people agree we don't want the existing badge.
I like the one above instead of mcfc in the middle what about superbia in prolelia

that was a tongue in cheek comment to be fair, but I still consider myself Lancastrian as well as Mancunion, though I am older than 35 tbf

I know :)

I'm just anti rose on the new badge! Haha

 

[morleyswife]

I still like this one of Gav's
Maybe a bee on one side and a Maltese cross on the other instead of the two Maltese crosses?

Love that idea

 

[tailspin747]

I'm more pro Manchester than Lancashire as well. Keep it as close to home as possible. [emoji106]

 

[morleyswife]

One side bee one side Maltese cross. Maybe white instead of gold?

 

[Shaelumstash]

Apologies for the appalling graphic design, but a GeekInGav / Rafael Esquer version of this would get my vote:

I think the bee would be great for marketing for the club. Historical and relevant.
