Unfortunately and shamefully i think OURS.
Badges should show a link to the club and its history/location etc i think. Watford's with the Hart of Hertfordshire certainly does that.
Ours did, with the Red rose of Lancashire and the manchester ship canal.
Unfortunately Franny Lee got all giddy and, along with our 'lazer' blue shirts (sigh) we got this bloody Phoenix and Italian star thing monstrosity. What a joke! Bring back our REAL badge!
Good grief, it is NOT a phoenix, it's an eagle, which comes from an old City of Manchester crest. And we still have a ship, which represents Manchester's trading roots and the Ship Canal, plus the three stripes representing Manchester's three rivers.
I'll give you the stars, but how else would you possibly like it to show more of a link to the club and its history/location. Perhaps add a big cotton reel or a giant computer? Or maybe Paul Dickov sliding on his knees???
