I feel the rose represents England which is who we will be travelling as champions of (next year hopefully) when in Europe.

Navy was part of our colours for the first 57 years of our existence, so to discount it because we're not in out 80's doesn't mean it's not part of our history, I assume you believe we have one. It's just the majority of us only saw navy in the late 80's and early 90's or when we were in our fall from grace at the end of the century. Personally I think the navy sharpens the badges lines, the badge must be round, the three river and ship on the shield is a must and the only stars I want to see are the ones we add when we win the Champions League. Great job Gav, your designs have looked the business on my seasoncard and I look forward to the vote off when we get to the final two.
The blurb about the final designs will say the both satisfy everything we asked for but this arguement will continue because probably 49% of people won't get the design they voted for.

The Yokohama one you've done there is absolutely gorgeous.thats why i did the 'tale of four cities' image when i heard about Yokohama as a what i invisioned was the plan...(if/when we increase the yokohama stake or nissan agree to merge it with CFG)
but i'll go one step further an bet they will all have the sky blue band on the outer. did our white as some hope of uniqueness and kept Yokohama blue as we dont own them really.
Melbourne's is rubbish but that's due to their rubbish flag.
Ours needs to be better looking and more striking than NYCFC and the Yokohama one if possible since we are the oldest/main club (I realise that's not PC). It'd be a bit shit if we created a club with a better looking badge.
Although we aren't politically lancashire anymore, i think the red rose looks best on the sides, the cross on either side doesn't make the badge look unique as it's too similar to NCYFC's and Melbourne's. That badge there would look more us with sky blue background behind the ship I think, probably with white bottom half and sky blue stripes (to reflect old badge colour scheme - with the exception of the stripes of course).

An excellent point and one I make to City fans of old who were lucky enough to go to Maine Road. Maine Road was an absolute shit hole pubs and atmosphere was great but if you weigh up what we have no why the fuck would you ever want to go back.
However the badge has always been a grudge to many.
I however look ar the bigger City Football Group picture. We are the only club to not have a circlular badge within the CFG. We need to keep all the teams in the group similar with kits sponsors and badge style. What is the best way to get around changing our badge than to offer it to the fans to decide full well knowing they will vote for circular.
The Badge is going to change it will be circular that I can tell you now is a guaranteed ITK

well that is definitely a no then the fact it's fucking red is bad enough. Though to be fair it is the only red us Lancastrians do admire.
The current badge is an abomination. It only exists because a previous regime was so incompetent that they didn't own the rights to the old one. I suspect the only people who actually like it are the ones who have it tattooed somewhere on their body.
