Club Badge (merged)

Perfect.....No stupid OTT Eagle


Muffin

This kind of sums it up for me. Anyone who wants the Lancashire red rose calls it a muffin and anyone who wants the Manchester shield with 3 rivers calls it a barm!

Barm for me ;-)

I don't REALLY want the Lancs Rose either

Muffin (in Manchester anyway)

Just read this on City Voice, which is an official statement from the club:

"Please note that this process is about understanding the views of fans and we are not accepting any unsolicited badge designs. If, as a result of the consultation, the badge does evolve, the Club's in-house designers will undertake this process. ."

The bit in bold is a bit of an area of concern for me. The badge should be designed by a specialist in my view, not just someone from the in house team. The in-house team's previous effort wasn't the best.

Not really of the same standard.

To be honest I don't think that NYCFC badge is any better than the Melbourne one

Great post. Eagle sets us apart. It has meaning to many and before 1958 it adorned the Manchester coat of arms as a nod towards the growing air industry. It was a signal for growth then and it coincides with incredible growth at our football club. While it got removed from the coat of arms, it should stay with us. If the owner likes them and its recognised globally already, way ahead of the ship and the canals, it should stay. The posturing points a good one, I grew up in the old badge, it never, ever provided the joy of the new one!

What does the eagle set us apart from? Palace, Lazio, Benfica?

I agree with this, save the Eagle. I actually like the current badge stars and all, which at the end of this season will represent our 3 premiership titles. Been a fan since 1956 and feel the current badge is a symbol of our growth to become one of the worlds major teams.

You've been a fan since 56 but are prepared to discard the 1968 championship because you think the stars look pretty?

Really? Everyone has got different taste I suppose, but personally I think the NYCFC badge is one of the best in world football, and I think the Melbourne one looks like it was done by some primary school kids using crayons!

Where do I say or even infer the stars look pretty. The point I was making, which has been lost on you is that the current badge is the symbol of our success now.
The previous badges are of a different time and era, let them go as we did with Maine Road.

i get what your saying but we should never forget about our past. we are having success recently but we have another 100 years of history swell, we can't just think about now in terms of the badge. a badge should represent the entire history of the club

behaviour......

(not that you're shoving your ideas down peoples throats or anything)

See you obviously don't understand the difference between stating an OPINION and going further than that to attack those that differ... ie infering "anyone who likes the eagle was born yesterday and isn't a proper City fan us proper City fans all want rid" (thats basically trying to force people to agree by using twatty behavior as leverage and to that I give the middle finger and say... I like the eagle ;) )
What is so hard to understand about that? Quite a few people noticed it too from the looks of the replies.

Us eagle fans will not be oppressed! Save our eagle!

Really I dont think they are going to be able to keep everyone happy with whatever they choose, from the looks of this thread lol.


The badge should represent history including the recent, it also has to be current too because things have changed massively(in a good way) for the club itself(also some good things will be happening for the City too hopefully).
