New York City FC Kit and Badge Thread

[GeekinGav]

I swear the fact that ZSD continues to not be employed by MCFC branding dep is bordering on criminal now! Sheik get it right, now!

i havent done anything mate, just recoloured something that City already did.

Golden rule. Don't fix when it's not broken. Current one is much better than these.

The three ridiculous stars, United's 1958 FA Cup final yellow chicken, the stupid Latin shite...i disagree with you!

As do I, these badges are country miles in front of our current badge.

Everything about our badge screams "Franny Lee". The pseudo-historical roots, the desperation in appearing successful with the "decorative" stars, the cliched Latin phrase about conquering or struggle that's suppose to be "inspirational". Everything about it is either patronising, cliched or fake.

ZSD's is a modern take on our classic badge. The basics of the one that most of us associate with City, but redesigned to fit the new era. It is several hundred billion times better than the shite we have now.

tried to order a shirt - I have a valid US Postal Address to send stuff to (you can't have anything delivered outside US) but run up against the usual Credit Card Zip Code issue on US Sites... grrrr.... will need to make a transatlantic phone call in the morning on the works phone.. ahem....

Got one ordered now - arriving in UK next month.
Has anyone else got anything ordered of the NYCFC Store?

Just had a look at their Adidas slouch cap (as they term it) and it is out of stock. Oh well. Still waiting for the global brand that is Manchester City to figure out the potential of making white (summer / college-style) BB caps. Their offerings have always been piss-poor reflecting the demands of the local market, but as the market is no longer local, you'd think they'd get with it. Coming to the states again and still nothing to appeal to the young US market. Really odd.

See how easy it is when you have something decent to work with (logo-wise) and keep it simple?

Will be spectacular this..

Wow I actually really like that, sort of timeless.

Five bucks to a NY State address
You can't have anything delivered to anywhere outside the US sadly
So mines coming to the UK on the outward leg of an £820 return fare :-(

Sorry to destroy the mood, but that's not actually club merchandise. That's a cap that one of Rafael Esquer (the logo's designer)'s employees had produced for himself to celebrate the launch of the logo. It's a one-off item, the club had nothing to do with the cap. They might not even know it exists.

 

[Carver]

These are official merchandise. Prefer the logo cap in previous posts though.

Same here, although it does remind me of a certain baseball team...

 

[Neville the rat boy]

The navy official one looks quality.

Good effort lads but this will not be negotiated as far as I'm concerned.

Drop the fucking stars & that fucking shit "superbia & proelia"

& give us our fucking badge back... This is MCFC..

NO... this is our badge..

I don't like it, but as it's Zabba I can see it being part of a Nike agenda being tested out on here.

I think a badge change is detrimental to our brand in this stage of our development.

With social media the way it is now, I think the world would be used to it within a year.

By the way, Chelsea changed their badge in 2005 from this:

to this:

With the first Chelsea badge there and our current one not having our club names on the badge and then changing to a proper disc with our club names on, that would be better for commercial reasons.

I think only having "MCFC" and that stupid Latin shite we have that is setting us back commercially. IMO we should have our full name on our badge.

That was the main reason I think Chelsea changed theirs (as well as fan pressure, of course).

They changed it 'BACK' to the current one.... The current one is the traditional Chelsea crest

Just a warning blues, but I ordered two t-shirts that were delivered within four days, but came with an extra Duty Charge of £21.89 from our wonderful customs & excise meaning the total bill came to the best part of £70.

Not NYCFC's fault by any means but something to be aware of.
