Club Badge (merged)

[Shaelumstash]

We play the eagles tomorrow night, why would anyone want to include an eagle on our badge?

Round badge, classic sailing ship, three rivers as demonstrated by GeekinGav.

Great post, totally agree with this. The only connection the eaglr has to City is a designer from Kappa in 1997 liked it and they happened to be doing our kits that year. Same with the latin and stars.

The eagle has some obscure connection to Manchester for a few years in the 50s, but I doubt many knew much about it before 1997.

We've got the opportunity to have a badge that is instantly recognisable as Mancunian, instantly recognisable as City. A badge that represents our past and future. The round badge with ship and 3 river shield does all of those things.

The eagle was used on City material in the 1960s - I'll explain more at the MCFC lectures I'm doing on the badge's history (first one tomorrow).

It looks like Sky Sports will be filming some of my talk so hopefully those who can't make any of them will get a feel for what the facts/fiction/myths etc. are about City's badges from the TV. Cheers

Just reading the comments, hope to fuck the club see past the rather obvious glory supporters who do not know their arsehole form their ear holes. If the eagle or the starrs aren't fucked off I'll be fucking devo'd

My favourite comment:

you cannot go backwards in time when the club is moving forwards so the club needs the eagle has the emblem has the club soars to higher levels and achievements with on and off the field.

There's one of them that actually said he started supporting us cos of the badge as well, for fucks sake

Where as your reasons are much more valid?

Oh ok, thanks for that Gary, I wasn't aware of that. I won't be able to attend the lectures but I'll be very interested to watch afterwards if it is being filmed. Do the club plan to put it on the website or social media channels?

I meant reason for supporting the club :-)

Does anyone know when the final badge design would have to be decided upon if it is to be included on next seasons kit?

I would assume just before xmas to give enough time for design, manufacture, shipping etc for a summer 2016 unveil?

Not certain. I've been focusing on my slides, so not certain what else is happening. It'd be worth emailing them to ask. I have contemplated putting the slides up on my facebook afterwards but on their own without my words they'll just look like pretty pictures of ships, bridges, rivers etc.
