Club Badge (merged)

Manchester City's formation date has never changed. It's always been 1894. Ardwick had to apply for re-election to the League in 1894 due to their final position and, in all probability, they would have not been re elected. Manchester City and Ardwick co-existed for a while and MCFC was regarded as a new club which, ultimately pulled in many but not all the Ardwick directors, players and fans. Reports talked if City signing players from Ardwick at times. They were perceived as two clubs at City formation but City wouldn't have existed without Ardwick, so the history is important. BUT 1880 isn't even a definite date, it's assumed based on games reported (or at least games we've identified so far!). At times 1884 and 1887 have been claimed as formation dates, so 1880 is a fluid date representing our earliest traceable so far game. 1894 is MCFC's formation, but the earlier material us important to the overall story of course.

I will let people make their own minds up after reading the relevant page of football league history.

It shows Ardwick being re-elected in 1894 and the name changing.

They've got us as Manchester City in the cross table of results but Ardwick in the table itself, so I'm none the wiser really.

Is the extra river to reflect the recent flooding in Manchester?

And if they had been given (say) 3 options to choose one from it's not like everybody would have chosen the same one anyway leading to exactly the same whinging we're getting on here anyway.

BTW, I'm confused by your last sentence. Isn't it a bit contradictory to the rest of your post or have I missed the point?

My point was simply that I do not think that the club are getting the respect that they deserve for the way they have handled this exercise - they have done much more than others would do.

The idea of a 'fans vote' would have not been in my view at all sensible - and I agree with you would have led to a load more whinging

How does a badge have potential ?

I was trying to reply to Florida blues red and black kit above, I do think that because it is really a circle with a badge in the middle, when it comes to home kits it will be the standard, but away kits like Florida blues there's potential to adapt it to any colour scheme the club decide is a marketing commodity
 
At the end of the day, it pisses all over the 3 stars of Orions belt n some daft funky chicken anyday ...anyways, now that it has my approval, ya'll can close thread. :-)

Do you do a lot of diving? if so - easy mistake - he was probably aiming at Ashley Young

Ha. Only scuba diving. Ashley Young has a better tan than me as well so it must have been a half blind pigeon. Probably a mate of the eagle i was so keen to get rid of from our shirts. I couldn't believe it. Just shaved, showered and changed ready for the game. Someone told me its a sign of good luck...that kept me going on the way back home.
