If we changed it would be a version of the former badge and likely wouldn't have the Lancashire rose.

why they havent done it already in line with the others must be a threat or a pending suit on the NYCFC and MelFC ones, but could only see a copyright suit being successful on the Manchester City arc as every other element is used in other, similar looking badges (Chelsea, Scum etc)
It's about time we get rid of that bird; it's awful, seeing all of the CL club crests together puts into context how tacky ours is, and I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed sooner to be honest.
No point having an elite squad and facilities if the literal depiction of the club looks like a product of a primary school competition.

It would be nice to use the coat of arms as the 'official' badge, we shouldn't let that other mob have sole rights to it. Probably not right for the shirt so a round badge without that eagle (never liked that or the stars) would be just fine

don't mind the present badge with the beswick buzzard on it, have got used to it after nearly 20yrs of it, but the old/former/retro crest is the omly one for me unless I buy an official shirt all my pin badges or shirts are the round crest and is also used when I use a city badge as a wallpaper or profile picture, so if it came back would be delighted.
My only real gripe with our present crest is the now shite practise of the all one colour versions like on the away kit, just don't like them.

As if City are going to rebrand now when the current badge is known across the world?
Absolutely this. I won't buy a thing with it on for my lad either. I am a bit past wearing club stuff but anything we do have will never have that atrocity on it. That thing is not and never will be Manchester City's badge.
What it does do is sum up perfectly the slide to the brink and the small time mob who presided over it. An indefinable bird thing, the absence of our name, the stars for a European feel, yeah, throw in some dubious fucking latin while we are at it! The very fact they needed one because some visionary had sold the rights to the club's badge for 20 quid. Christ I can't look at the thing without getting mad.
While we are at it. For the current incumbents in the department of bright ideas, get our full name on the back of that tracksuit top, and other places for that matter and stop over thinking things. MCFC and City for graffiti (if you're 12) and Twitter. The club's name on its kit. You can buy Champions merchandise without the club's name anywhere on it! Just how does that happen?
Breathe.
agree with that, especially after the destroyed the uniqueness of MCFC associated with Man City and whored it out with the Mel City rebrand.
That ship looks fantastic.no birdie, but a different take with a ship, the 3 rivers and naturally ..... a blue moon .... (kept the stars as trophy stars that can be added to over the years)

I like our birdie too.
What I dislike are the stars.
Not only do I think they are unnecessary aesthetically, but it is their presence that has created the need for Nike to go with the shield since they don't want to stitch the stars individually as Umbro did due to cost.

I second this, looks god awful.
I really hope that if there is substance to these rumours, and the club are seriously looking at a change of badge, that they consult the supporters prior to doing so.
Could you imagine if they left it to a few daft yuppie clowns with graphic design/marketing degrees, with no knowledge of the club and a taste for the quirky?
Or if they did an Everton and released something that caused such revulsion among the fanbase that they had to change it in 12 months?
Could you imagine if something like that happened, and we then did something like won the Champions League with the said hideous crest adjourning our kit?
We'd then risk a situation where said monstrosity would be instrinsically linked to the zenith of the club's history, and then we might end up stuck with it forever.
So much that could go wrong if there isn't a sense of caution here, the supporters have to be consulted.
i did think that when i finshed, reminded me of the simposons ... cartoony .... sometimes you have to cock up lol

Meh... it is rather cartony bud, it's like you've tried "too" hard on that one.
Would look good on a kids footy show or something.
I'd like our badge to resemble a more classic/historical look, incorporating location/history etc, such as the lanc rose/st. marks cross
yeah .. i got it my head and had to do it, knew halfway it wasnt gonna work but had to finish it. thats why you have to so many different versions, hopefully will land on one that works lol
one i did much earlier ...
