No Manchester C o A on the FA Cup final shirt

[mancmackem]

Can't Gary James get involved with this directly too, being the club historian?

They managed to churn out loads of them in 81 with the same notice and technology that was much slower and more expensive. You can go to the Arndale and have anything you want embroidered digitally in mintes

My friend e-mailed the club about this earlier in the week, and got the reply below on Wednesday. It seems no decision has been made yet, but I am sure if the club were aware of the strength of feeling behind this it could alter their decision.

He wrote to mcfc@mcfc.co.uk and addressed it FAO The Marketing Department. The reply he got is below:

"Thank you for your email. The issue of using the coat of arms in the City shirt design for the FA Cup Final is being discussed at the moment. We are aware of the interest in this. If and when there is anything concrete we can share with supporters then this will be communicated via mcfc.co.uk.

They shouldn't be talking about anything it should be done NFT.

So all is not lost then :)

Sounds positive and promising....

Red Dippers wore this for the CL final 2005, so maybe we could do something similar:

Can see why the marketing men wouldn't want the Manchester coat of arms on the shirt as this is our first proper final in 30 years and with the global exposure of the Cup Final, they - I'm sure - would rather want the current badge was beamed around the worlds as part of "brand City".

So why put that shitty bit of lettering on the current home kit? I don´t get it?
Keep signing up to the petition lads and lasses

I certainly hope they keep up this tradition (the Manchester crest), just need to stop the tradition of fecking up .

Its a no brainer . I`ll be wanting one if produced .The first City shirt I bought was the 81` Final shirt, followed by the new shirt about a month later .

With the lack off tradition in the modern game,this surely has to get done,to show how much we are above the rest off them,
