Club Badge (merged)

the more i see it the more I like it, it looks like a city badge and represents our club a lot better. a modern update of our old badge.

It's definitely not a PR stunt. The leaked badge is the new badge.

how do you know for sure?

Yes we've seen this. What about it?

Never doubted the rose , boat or rivers, what I am questioning is the pathetic attempt at design.

Personally I think the Red Rose is no longer relevant to Manchester and many would question what a sailing ship has to do with a city 50 miles from the ocean. I know the reason it is there (cotton trade etc) but is that really appropriate for the modern day Manchester.?

The eagle badge had many faults, especially the stars. It was difficult for Nike to produce on clothing, although Umbro never seemed to have any problem. But the eagle badge was unique in English football and in my opinion looked powerful and classy ( stars apart)

so the red rose isn't relevant to manchester or the ship ( clearly they both are ), but a random eagle is alright because it looks powerful ?? that makes no sense. what did you want a picture of the arndale in the middle

I quite like how in just saying 'Manchester City', and dropping football club, it looks more prominent against the other CFG group badges.

All said and done though, it's a badge. Looks nice enough, simple, and it will go well on a kit.

Also by asking fans and trying to fit it all in doesn't help. If 50% want blue and 50% want yellow don't add both. No one wanted green.

Exactly. The rivers AND rose is a fudge. Should have been one or the other.

I could live with that though if it didn't look like it had been drawn by one of the animators on Loony Toons.

seeing most of the thread it sounds like you didn't like the badge before it was even revealed. in what way does it look like a loony toons badge ? they've included most of the elements city fans wanted

This one could work

I haven't put real bullets in the gun Mr Messenger just one that smarts a bit, but actually it IS the real badge

Not on a wind up but that is what I have been told. Wouldn't surprise me as I'm personally VERY surprised that the club would let the badge leak this way, it's very amateurish and our club are normally the height of professionalism. We will see..

I fully believed it to be the real new badge before I was told this.
