Old - no contest.
I think it would be quite fitting if we reverted back to our traditional crest, a crest which was synonymous with our greatest period of success - all while we enter another greatly deserved period of success.
It should help to keep our feet on the ground, while also reminding the sceptics of the era from which the backbone of our honours list was spawned, and apart from all that...
It looks twice as good as the current one!

This. Those stars are pointless. Stars should represent winning something.bluemoon32 said:

Like the new one personally. (and got it tattood on my arm) I think the old version is just that, old. It's retro yes but a 60s design. So was the Arndale and thats got better.
To moan that M****h had that badge for the 58 final is petty. That was a badge of Manchester and they wore it as they were representing Manchester, just like we did in finals. Regardless of the whole. ''They're not from Manchester'' thing.
The newer badge badge is nicer, always prefered ones that actually look like coats of arms as this does. And all the elements have a great connection with the City so I don't consider the designwer ''clueless'' as some have said.
Only flaw is the stars which I agree could be changed. Two bees with a Lancashire Rose in the middle would be more fitting and in touch with our roots.
If we revert to the old badge then we get into the argument of which version of that. Considering there have been a few in the times we used it.
Ship above a Lancashire rose
Ship above the 3 stripes representing the rivers (gold stripes on Red background)
Ship above the 3 stripes representing the rivers (white stripes, blue background)
As I said I prefer coats of arms. And I do welcome the old badge on clothing et al on stuff in the club shop but all badges that appear like coats of arms look better on the actual kits.
