Club Badge (merged)

He's right though.

Why should some new plastic fan from abroad have an equivalent input to a long standing match going supporter on a decision as central to Manchester City and its identity as its club crest?

They shouldn't, and it's a fair point.

Who cares that a lot of new plastic fans are disappointed we're losing the eagle, their input in a decision like this should be an irrelevance.

So if you say you like the Eagle you're a foreign plastic fan that's still in high school? Thanks for clearing that up for us all.

I've spoken to a mate in the industry and he said final designs for next seasons Premier League kit are usually released to manufacturers at the end of November.

The timing of the consultation and the press release last week is surely no coincidence.

City have announced they will be releasing the badge in the next couple of weeks, so they'll probably release it to City fans just before they send it to manufacturers, and the kit will be out a few weeks later than most other teams kits next summer.

I'm pretty sure we usually release the kita for sale later than most other teams anyway don't we?

Agree with your assumptions .lets see what pictures get sneaked out of the nike trade show .my hunch would be a shirt already with the new badge on

No, of course not. Feeble strawman.

But most of the people who hold such a view are those kind of people.

Those who think similarly among the core support are very much in the minority, and the views of the core support are priority. Not those of some JCL plastics from abroad.

The consensus among new fans abroad is distinctly different from the long standing core support, and the latter group take precedence over the former. Do you disagree or something?

But you dont really know this though do you... especially when you pass opinions off that you dont like as not core support and foreign plastic fans. The majority of core support aren't members of their local supporters clubs I'd wager. Even here there's like 15-20 of you at most who have been so obsessively against the eagle on a forum of how many members? Anyone who has had anything to say for the eagle on this thread has been rallied against and met with hostility in some cases(almost like a task squad shows up to cover it up... "nothing to see here we all hate the eagle" haha), so I can see why some would shy away from the tread if they dont happen to agree with the anti-eagle posse. Personally I couldn't give fuck how much you woman and moan at me(I have stuck up for others who tried to just give their say though because it doesn't seem fair), I have my own opinion and thats the way I like it(nothing wrong with that).

I liked the eagle as I have grown up with it however I'm now looking forward to the new badge. There were some good suggestions that I liked.
 
its about world wide marketing,the club will go with the design that appeals to the biggest world wide audience and if that demographic includes some kids in africa it would be arrogant of us to dismiss those people , im grateful that im able to watch city live every other week but it does not make me a bigger or more entitled blue

I do know. I go to games, I know what the consensus is among all the blues I know, and it's clear what it is among the match going blues on here.

And that does give a fair reflection of what the core support wants.

Keep deluding yourself otherwise if you so wish.

You're very much in the minority, unless of course you're on forums among said new plastic fans abroad, which aren't at all representative of what the core support wants.

You didn't answer my question by the way, do you think everyone should have an equivalent say on this regardless of how long they've been supporting City and regardless of where they're from or their links to Manchester?
