Club Badge (merged)

[Blue Haze]

You're just some yank rag..what the fuck do you know about our club?

Probably more than Sheikh Mansour. :)

If you don't like it go down to the club office and tell them to stop marketing to us. You're a sad stalker.

I think that the decision to change the badge to a round one was made as soon as the New York City badge was created and the Melbourne City Badge changed. The new badge will surely have a similar look/feel to those two badges. Like it or not, the current badge is going. The consultation will simply decide what goes inside the circle and the colours.

It's not us conforming to the other teams..we had a round badge decades before the CFG teams were even dreamt about never mind existed

I couldn't give two fucks about your opinion as it's irrelevant

We will go back to the round badge

And you will go back to supporting the Denver Broncos or whatever shite you follow over there

Absolutely stunning mate (to GeekinGav's design on a shirt and in 3D plaque motif), really outstanding. From a design point of view I can't see how even Rafael Esquer could improve on that.

I totally agree with what you said earlier, that regarding colour scheme, people should see the badge on a sky blue shirt before making a judgement.

I know you're probably getting sick of people requesting this and that, but if you have time to put various different colour options of this design on the blue shirt I think it would be invaluable for city fans to make an informed decision.

I think the gold and maroon / red crest really pops off on a blue shirt, whereas a blue and white crest might get a bit lost.

Thanks for everything mate, I genuinely think you've played a big part in the club taking this step because so many blues love your designs so much.

THIS^^^^^^^^ all day long and twice on Saturday @ 3pm!!

Then why keep replying if you care so little? Bizarre.

The Premier League advertises during American football games on NBC, BTW. You're going to see a lot more of us. And you will deal with it because club doesn't share your opinion.

i dont think Rafael is a fan of it .... lol

If Rafael doesn't think that design (immediately above) is of the absolute highest quality, especially compared to his NYCFC badge, then he clearly has NO CLUE who City fans are or our history! If that badge was on a City kit, even as a sewn add on badge rather than embroidered into the shirt (which is the whole point, really, isn't it?!), it would take the entire "I hate the patch/shield badge" issue out of the equation.

Anyone who doesn't think that badge, on that shirt, doesn't look primo needs some glasses, IMHO! With that badge, sign me up NOW for the 2016-17 shirt....as long as Nike doesn't fuck up their part of the deal!!!

I think you may have misunderstood me. I was trying to say that we had already decided to change to a round badge when the NYC and Melbourne badges were created...so that theirs match ours.

I'm all for the round badge. I think it will look better on the kit.

Also, it will look better on everything else like T-shirts etc. Currently if you get any clothing with the city badge on it, it looks like training gear.

Think you've gone over the top with that post. He's said on his twitter he knows about the history of the club going back to St.Marks and has the highest respect for the club - adding that he isn't even involved at the moment.

I don't think maroon is a justifiable colour at all for the badge just because we had it on the socks for a bit - I've never liked the maroon away kits either - it's red and black for me. I don't think red and gold (like the CoA) is an option either.

Is it just me (having seen so many different versions now), or are these badges starting to look a bit drinks coaster/scouts badgey?

P.S. I can't give an opinion on that badge from the snapshot of the shirt, I'd have to see a full view of the shirt but I think the maroon would stick out like a sore thumb.

Second one all day for me.

 

[swiggage]

Think you've gone over the top with that post. He's said on his twitter he knows about the history of the club going back to St.Marks and has the highest respect for the club - adding that he isn't even involved at the moment.

I don't think maroon is a justifiable colour at all for the badge just because we had it on the socks for a bit - I've never liked the maroon away kits either - it's red and black for me. I don't think red and gold (like the CoA) is an option either.

Is it just me (having seen so many different versions now), or are these badges starting to look a bit drinks coaster/scouts badgey?

P.S. I can't give an opinion on that badge from the snapshot of the shirt, I'd have to see a full view of the shirt but I think the maroon would stick out like a sore thumb.

You even get the bees thrown in for nowt!!!
