When they came up with NYCFC and Melbourne City ones as round, I knew this would come not far behind and sure it's going to be round ...
Only thing is someone somewhere in Abu Dhabi most probably doesn't really like maroon colour and we have seen the shift into while keeping sky blue as main colour but more navy blue being pushed onto everything, be it second kits or colours on the website and in everything else around the club. Also factor in how NYCFC looks overall I think we'd be looking at sky blue, white and navy blue/dark blue as club's new colours moving forward and won't be surprised if the new crest reflects that.
As long as it's a badge that a shield can't be slapped around on the kit, I'd be happy ...
Good post mate, I agree. In fairness though, navy blue has made up part of our kit for about 80 years out of our 110 year history, so I think it's a bit unfair to say our owners are pushing navy blue on us.
Navy blue been part of our identity since the 1800s. I think a lot of City fans who were around in the 60s and 70s have a fondness for maroon because that was the short period it was part of our kit. I'm not adverse to maroon, but navy blue has been a much bigger part of our history.
