What page is it on?

Looks like a basic and poor rework of the old one.

Really don't like the way the text is in Navy blue, doesn't stand out the way the black does. Don't like how much Navy there is in there full stop. Doesn't look right.

Really poor not to have 'football club' or at least 'FC' in there as well, really ragish.

It's bizarre to not have "Football Club" because both the other CFG teams have it.

Really don't get why we didn't go for the classic shield shape either, this new one is about as generic as it gets, looks like an aerial view of a toilet seat.

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.

I need to see something to compare it to..
In the style your talking about because im not getting this cartoon loony tunes thing. Nyc looks ok because its simplistic. There are many more letters in Manchester City. Some fans on here don't like Man City or MCFC (previous slatings) so what's the alternatives?

well the IPO office has us registering the rose badge in september as our property so maybe we should just use that. also the new designs are not fully registered yet only established

I dont understand why people are saying its amateurish of the club to have leaked it? Seems like they've registered it at the very last possible chance before the boxing day unveiling. It's leaked via the intellectual property office and I dont see how the club could've prevented that. It's nigh on impossible to keep anything a secret these days thanks to the internet and I'm surprised it's taken this long for it to get out to be honest.

Someone earlier in the thread said someone at city should lose their job over it! Yeah let's sack a regular employee two days before Xmas over something they didn't even leak.

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

Not a radom Eagle at all, was used as the civic badge of the City and used by the club on documents and of course by the club on the current badge. The Eagle has seen some of the most important events in this club's history yet is being discarded. The red rose badge only saw one trophy win and wasn't worn on the final shirts, in fact it was the least successful of the three badges, it also symbolises the disaster that was Peter Swales. The red rose is not relevant to the City of Manchester and hasn't been since 1974. Greater Manchester is made up of parts of Lancashire, Cheshire and Yorkshire since the biggest portion of the club's support comes from Greater Manchester then surely have the symbol of one county is wrong? This new offering must have been designed by a novice as there are so many aspects that are wrong, already pointed out by many on here, that it amounts to a fudge.

That doesn't surprise me as the 'City' bit is easier to market than 'City FC' & we are the main 'City'.

The shield shouldn't be proud of the surrounds
The rose looks ridiculous there
Why has the FC gone
The 1984 is a sop to those who think we have no history

I didn't think they'd be able to make the badge more shit, but they've managed it
