I always thought it was the Manchester Ship canal and it's importance to Manchester. An inland port we made (well the Irish dug)Manchester grew into a major city out of the industrian revolution and the cotton trade the boat is a reference to the world wide trade in goods from that trade and commerce, also the 3rd (right) flag should always face opposite the left and middle flag, the bees on a globe represent the industrial and busy labour force and the shield is a reference to the first duchy of Manchester, but also now used to represent the rivers in more modern times

Anyone else notice the glaring omission of the St. Marks cross in the new consultation which is now live?
:(
Sure, many views are that it's in the past, move on etc... But the same could be said about the Coat of Arms and
all the other symbols which were displayed in the consultation.
A large proportion of symbols were relevant to the COA though so it does seem like the club want a Round badge
which heavily focusses on the COA, representing the area significantly.
The only football team to come from Manchester... ooooooh Man' City :D

I'm sure its something to do with the fact it could be seen as a religious symbol. The club will want to stay away from anything that'll be seen as controversial.
Speaking of that....i reckon FC United will try and play a few dirty tricks if/when we get our new rounded badge. They will claim its copied theirs.

My contribution was very similar,i think the above will prove popular,especially with 'older' fans.
