Unsurprisingly, they've made it to mirror the NYCFC badge in order to have consistent branding.

I think it looks OK, but reminds me of some logo you would see on a shit beer.

That does look like a beer logo now that you mention it.

Looks OK but their current one is probably one of the best in England in my opinion. I know the reasoning, they want all of their clubs to have similar branding but still the eagle crest is better.

 

[dwd]

Is that Gotham? Eww.

 

[BobbyManc]

It's decent enough but I preferred the current one, although that's the one I've grown up with. Not overly fussed either way.

Apart from omitting football club from this one and having "City" in a straight line. On both NYCFC and Melbourne City, they have the New York City/Melbourne City at the top and Football Club at the bottom curved.

At least they removed the three stars

 

[Snow]

Personally I think it's too heavy on the dark blue compared to their sky blue color. A throwback to the logos before the current one, yes?

 

[Adzzz]

Jesus they've forgot to add the three stars for the european cups they didn't win.

I'm no city fan, but I like the red rose of Lancashire. Great respect to tradition, and the true counties of England.

 

[Traub]

Reminds me of the Chelsea one. Decent enough though.

 

[FujiVice]

Should have been Mike Summerbee in the middle, instead of the ship.

 

[Fener1907]

I really like it. Has a bit of a retro feel, it's got a beautiful red rose on it for all of the Yorkshiremen to admire, and the colours all go well together. As much as I don't want to make it about that, I reckon it will work better for them in terms of branding.

All of that said, after Silva and Aguero make twats out of United's defence, I'll soon hate it.

The old and new City logos plus NYCFC and Melbourne City FC for comparison:

 

[Sir A1ex]

Weird that they don't get to be a football club and the other two do.

 

[prateik]

Isn't this what their old badge looked like?
A lot better than their current one imo

 

[Manchester Dan]

A circle is much cheaper to stitch on to a shirt too. It's why we have the shield sat behind the eagle on the current shirt, which fans hate.

Edit: I prefer this badge. I hate the current badge, and the previous badge was my favourite to date.

 

[spwd]

That looks sh1t, it's too plain!

Yes, they have used the round crest design twice before but this has been updated.

 

[Jed I. Knight]

I think it looks great to be honest. Good for them.

Would've looked even better if they had stuck with the "Football Club" part at the bottom, as per Melbourne and NY, though.

 

[spwd]

Apart from the 3 stars, I think the current one is decent and a lot better than that but I don't care really

 

[Manchester Dan]

Would've looked even better if they had gone stuck with the "Football Club" part at the bottom, as per Melbourne and NY, though.

I agree - this was my only gripe.

The old and new City logos plus NYCFC and Melbourne City FC for comparison:

Yeah the three stars were celebrating the three times they've won the European Cup/Champions league lol. Their boats better then our one It's a wonder they didn't have Tevez's mug on it

 

[Blatzo]

Nice badge, that.

 

[redshaw]

Looks more like a return to the 70s/80s/90s logo

Interesting is how the new one actually mimics the newer United one in terms dropping the FC bit and having the words Manchester across the top on it's own and the word City at the bottom

I think for branding and simplicity, it's the best choice like what we did. Very easily readable. I do not understand the Eagle Star studded thing but I guess it's detailed but having MCFC means feck all to any outsider.

 

[Blackwidow]

Can somebody tell me what a ship has to do with Manchester?

 

[dwd]

Not sure if I prefer it with Football Club included to be honest:

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

Can somebody tell me what a ship has to do with Manchester?

Could be the The Manchester Ship Canal ? With the result of Manchester becoming the third largest shipping port in the country.

Spot on

Cheers for that, think I prefer it slightly after seeing it. Its not a million miles away though, is it.

 

[Red_toad]

Weird that they don't get to be a football club and the other two do.

Even more weird is they're the only ones who won't get referred to as a soccer club in their respective countries

 

[Nanook]

The current Man City badge is better. The new one is really dull looking.

Haha that is so true!

Manchester was invaded by pirates who ventured quite far inland back in 1742, so they built ships and pursued them, cutting all of them down. It's a nod to Manchester's defiance.

 

[RoadTrip]

In all honesty, it looks ok. However something doesn't sit quite right with how all the colours go, and I actually think their current badge is one of the best in the league.

 

[George Owen]

how much they paid for that crap?

 

[RoadTrip]

Can somebody tell me what a ship has to do with Manchester?

If you're asking genuinely, it's to do with the canal. Read up on it, because it is actually one of the key reasons why there is such a big rivalry between Liverpool and United.

 

[Fener1907]

How can anybody not like it when it's got the red rose on it? You uncultured swines.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Encapsulates the club quite well.

Hope you appreciate the world class photoshopping.... I'll feck off now... Sorry.

 

[Earthquake]

It's pretty good, to be honest, but not special. Fits with the other two though. Getting rid of the daft stars is a bonus.

The "CITY" at the bottom should follow the curve of the circle, looks a bit cheap/knockoff-ish as it is.
