The Eagles crest we have now does symbolise stuff.
The 3 stripes represent the 3 rivers in Mancheser.
The eagle comes from Manchesters coat of arms.
The boat / ship is a symbol of the industry in Manchester from 'back in the day' when we were known as 'Cottonopolis'
'Superbia In Proelia' - 'Pride in Battle' sums us up quite nicely - don't you think.
I give you that that 3 stars are there for design - nothing behind them whatsoever.
Don't get me wrong - I loved the old crest but there's a lot more work went into the new one than most people give it credit for.
