Out of curiosity why does the badge have 3 stars on it? Forrest have 2 to indicate champions league wins which is understandable but yours just seem a bit random

I believe the stars are simply there because they look nice.

The one we've got now is good and I've got used to it.

I would like the one now, without the stars. Other teams that have chose to put them on, have for a reason. Ours are pointless.

I like the stars, and I just tell people that they represent the clubs three incarnations of St Marks, Ardwick and Manchester City x

The Stars represent Aguero silva and kdb

They represents the belt of Orion the Hunter, because our attacks are precise like the arrows that reside in his quiver x

The middle one for me.

Is it an urban myth that Swales copyrighted or trademarked the middle one?

Middle one for me too.

Forest won the European Cup twice, they have never won the Champions League.

The middle one was 'owned' by a newsagents!

Middle one, no debate about it for me. A team for The City of Manchester, built on the ship canal, in the county of Lancashire. As I understand it, the eagle was Franny Lee's idea.

Source?

Eddie Phillips, newsagent and City fan owned the rights to the middle badge, he also owned the original souvenir shop on Maine Road.

He fell out with the club when they opened their own shop which effectively closed his business and wouldn't sell the rights to the badge back to City.

I heard Swales had the rights. I've learnt something on ja-bleeding-606!

It's educatonal innit

Me and my mates used to be paper boys for Eddie. There were about 20 other newsagents nearer to where I lived but he could always get you tickets for big games so it was worth the 20 minute bike ride.

Luckily my days of being a paper boy ended at the same time City went into decline so I didn't have to worry about tickets for big games anymore.

So if you had continued to deliver papers we would have not been in decline.

I knew there was a reason.

Borris you swine 😡

Decline was losing the Cup Final to Spurs, I didn't think it could get any worse at the time.

How wrong you were pleats bloody dance 😡
