I agree, these are pretty close to perfect.
For me it has to be a roundel with that Manchester CoA in the middle.
I loved our badge in the 80s and early 90s, but the red Lancashire rose has got nothing to do with City or Manchester anymore. If we brought it back now it wouldn't make any sense.
I'm not dead set on those colours, be good to see a few different options on a sky blue shirt, but the main design is close to perfect.
I like the Manchester bees as well, but think the design of these could be tweaked to look more like the ones you see around town.
Personally, the latin writing and writing in the background could go for me as well.
I know most City fans won't really care, but I think this design also sits perfectly alongside the NYCFC and Melbourne badges.
So this design has elements of our past, present and future.
