Our Badge

That they shouldn’t bow to any extraneous pressure to remove the ship.

That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure. I don't think they will.

I think the bigger worry would be the city (the city, not the club) politicians in some way legitimise the absurd claim with a misplaced comment on the coat of arms, or suggest changing it. Which then puts pressure on both clubs to respond.

We have had at least two blues write articles claiming they'd like the ship removed. Where incidentally are the reds writing the same thing, the media is usually full of them but for some reason this is the damn thing we see more blues writing and getting more coverage.

The world has quite literally gone insane. Do these bellends have nothing better to do?
 
Just leave our badge alone!! The fans and the club worked together on our badge, I was there at the discussions, so just leave it.

I was taught a lot of history and history was part of my Degree studies but I can put it into perspective.

The dictionary says it, history, the study of past events.
We can’t change it but we can make sure it never happens again.
A ship on our badge reminds us of two things, in my humble opinion, a) that Manchester was built on the hard work, sweat, laughter and tears of our ancestors b) that there was good and bad in that heritage.

Leave our badge alone.
 
Thinking about it:
  • Canals drowned people. Ships are dangerous. Water is an element. Are we allowed to use elements?
  • The ship. Does it still exist or did it sink? Was it a renovated slaver ship? Until confirmed, it cannot be suitable.
  • The golden colour is prejudiced towards rust.
  • Are the two outer rings with sky blue between an attempt at mind control?
  • Due to a nut allergy, I associate with Cadbury's Roses, City must consider the removal of the red rose. Greater Manchester isn't Lancashire.
  • And the font looks too much like that from a movie that promoted bigotry.
  • 1894 was a rough year and doesn't actually reflect our birth in 2008.
  • Manchester City? Well, we're a small city in turns of global city sizes and surface areas.
  • The inverse Adidas stripes look like a copyright theft.
New badge now. Perhaps we can use an eagle, a Latin phrase about battles and pride, some stars to reflect our look at space and the initials of Manchester City Football Club, a former club in Manchester replaced by a business called Manchester City... and work out what to do with that middle space.

Xylem lost our water, so who will lose our ship?

The Manchester ship: The Guardian is plain wrong

Jonathan Schofield explores the real reason behind that superb ship on buildings and football badges

That is a fantastic and brutal evisceration of Hattenstone.
Not only the points he tried to make but the way he went about it and his lack of journalistic ability and ethics.
Schofield is a very respected Manchester historian and writer, his history tours and events are great. He has forgotten more about our city’s past than the guardian’s uncle tom will ever know

I quite like that white kit you've created. Puma have given us far worse!

I know this isn’t the kit thread, but I’ve no idea why we don’t play in white with sky/navy trim away kits more often than we do.
