Club Badge (merged)

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

It's a long story but as the 1894-95 season approached newspapers talked of new signings and included comments like "...signed for City from the old Ardwick club" or "has joined City from Ardwick" etc. Not all the Ardwick players joined City; not all the directors became City directors and so on. Worth remembering that the cross pattee (it's not a Maltese cross - for anyone wondering about the meaning of crosses and so on it would be worth doing internet searches on terms like Cross pattee to see how it's been used/misused over the centuries and what significance these crosses can have) worn by 'the club' was worn in 1884 when the team had reformed as Gorton AFC. St. Mark's was the initial club but it evolved, reformed and was reconstituted several times along the way. The full story is in and those early chapters can be read by using the 'look inside' feature if anyone wants to learn more (but not buy my book).

I'll have a look thanks Gary. I need to do my homework ;-)

Just ideas, I quite like the old Manchester transport logo.

Man alive.....185 pages! I'm surprised people care that much. Hey ho.

I was wondering if there is anything else that that could be used to symbolises Manchester in more recent times?

The ship canal was completed in the 1890's and doesn't scream modern Manchester, as it must have then.

How about the graphine hexagon for instance, or some reference to Manchester's place in the history of computing?

there is no reference to the ship canal in either our badges or the city CoA's though

maybe we should replace the ship with a metrolink tram ; )

seriously maybe we should look at present day manchester what is something that would truely represent our modern day city?

Save the Eagle!

That is excellent!! For me those are the colours I would like. No red or maroon, they are not City home colours.

That is vile, dark blue should be no where near our badge or kit

The ship represents the ship canal does it not?
