Nearly 5 years on - how do you feel about the new badge?

Happy with the current badge, I hated the eagle, and 3 stars.
I did like the mock up badge a poster on here did though. It was a pigeon with a flat cap on smoking a woodbine.
 
I have the eagle tattooed on myself so there's no escape for me really. I do like the new badge. I can remember wearing the 08/09 shirt on holiday one year and being asked if I was a holiday rep and if I knew of any good local trips to go on. Thanks a lot, Thomas Cook.
 
Look, nothing's going to make everyone happy, is it? As the badge that's closest to the one I grew up with, I like it. The red rose does not offend me, far from it. It's the red rose of the House of Lancaster (as opposed to the Yorkists), and as such, it's closely associated with the Tudors who did so much to make modern England. Furthermore, Lancashire is historically the most important footballing county in the country, by far, and City fans can be proud to be part of that county. And since City has been easily the dominant club in that county for about the last decade…what's not to like? (Unless you count Greater Manchester as a county that has nothing to do with Lancashire — which I never will).
It's the first team full kit that doesn't fully satisfy me. As long as there's no trace of maroon anywhere, I'll hanker after it.
 
The last badge was introduced along with the laser blue Kappa jerseys, was it not? Double whammy.

Sorry to be pedantic, but the Tudors did not utilise the Lancastrian red rose. They combined the two after Henry VII's marriage to Elizabeth of York and created the Tudor rose.
