suprised at the timing of the badge launch.already you can buy key rings and badges on ebay.
so its 6 months of lost sales before you can buy any authentic merchedise from city
It's unfortunate, but the club really has no choice.
The new design will have to be with manufacturers now for next season's kits. If they did not release the new badge now, it would have been released by someone working in the factory on a poorly lit mobile phone picture. It happens every year.
At least releasing it now like they have done, they get to ensure good quality images get released.
I assume they must have contracts in place with existing suppliers, Nike, Kitbag, whoever makes the key rings etc, to sell merchandise with the existing badge until the summer.
The 6 month limbo period is unfortunate, but I think it's unavoidable.
