Club Badge (merged)

Adidas would be proud.

Many of the designs that include the three rivers do look a bit Adidas like...not sure if Nike will like this!

The MEN reporting that we can go back to the second round badge,as the person who owned the club shop says he does not own the badge,so City are free to revert back to it, that gets my vote

wasnt just that, the two tome colour scheme screams Adidas/Originals to me .... meant meant to obviously, but does to me.

Reminds me of Blue Peter badges.

I've just completed the online questionnaire and can understand the relevance of most themes proposed. The ship, rose and rivers from previous emblems, I also like that other symbols are being considered such as the bees and the maltese cross. It's clear that those behind the scenes have hit many right notes and done their homework with the fans.

One element that surprised me was the inclusion of cotton bales as suitable for debate. This for me is a complete non-starter.

Yes, I'm aware of the Cottonopolis tag that Manchester had in Victorian times but as we are now a global club seeking to expand our fan base including cotton bales in some format would be a PR disaster.

In the US, a key market for us, the message, though over simplified, is a basic one. Cotton = cotton picking = plantation = slavery. No professional sports team in America would go anywhere near this. Given how the federal government has recently removed the licensing trademark from the Washington Redskins, these issues are very much under scrutiny.

Yes, we do have a statue of Abraham Lincoln near the Town Hall and during the Civil War, Manchester supported his blockade of trade routes from the southern states to the detriment of many living here but for the 50 years leading up to that, Manchester grew to be an economic force based on the raw materials provided by an enslaved workforce.

I like these 2

another attempt to gather any support at all to save our birdie! :-)

So I tweaked & mashed em together

Part of me won't like getting rid of the Eagle. It makes the badge look less 'soft'

Room for three stars above the Eagle's head, there.

To be fair you could say that about most of Western Society
