In the 1999 play-off final why wasn't the Manchester Coat of arms displayed on the shirt? This got me thinking after reading it on City's wikipedia page-
"The last official acknowledgement that the Manchester coat of arms would adorn the Manchester City shirt at a Wembley or cup final was when the club released a press release in 1997 revealing their new crest, in which the club stated: "The new club crest is based on elements from the original "Arms of the City of Manchester", the crest which is still used by Manchester City PLC today and worn on the team shirt for all Wembley occasions"
