I would be voting for the one I grew up with in the 80's and 90's.... Just more memories.
The current one I have dislikes such as the latin text, the eagle and the 3 stars... just doesn't make sense.
The lancashire rose is very symbolic as well... I've researched alot of my family history and many came from Lancashire, moving into Manchester and Vice Versa
since the 16th century.
Many known ancestors who liked sport would follow Lancashire for cricket and City for Football.
