TIOC's Badge Redesign Idea For Manchester City FC, Thoughts?

For as long as I can remember I have dreamt of our club reverting back to our Retro Circular Club Badge, finally our club have decided to consult on a possible change with our fan base so I thought I'd get to work on a few ideas. I knew learning how to use Photoshop would come in useful so I'm glad I chose too, here are my idea's which I will submit.

I did one the same but without the Eagle, so what do you think City fans. For those new to City I'll explain, the Rose represents the Lancashire Rose, The Ship represents the Manchester Ship Canal and the 3 stripes represent Manchester's 3 rivers, The Irk, The Irwell and The Medlock. 1880 being the year St Mark's of West Gorton were founded who were later renamed Ardwick Association Football Club and then Manchester City Football Club. The Latin term 'Superbia in Proelio' means Pride in Battle.

I did some research into how the Eagle found it's way on to our crest, we know the Shield, Stripes, Rose and Ship were taken from the City of Manchester's Coat of Arms. The Latin motto was added by the club itself in 1997 along with the Stars which were just for show. Here I got rid of the pointless Stars but felt it worth keeping the Eagle.

An Eagle represents Courage, Strength and Immortality, so I hazard a guess that that is why it was chosen and incorporated.

What do you think? will you be submitting your own? Would you rather we stuck with the present, revert to the old Retro badge or something entirely new?

I'd still be happy even if we reverted back to the original Retro City badge of old but I equally like this Badge too.

Diego Costa A Cheat? FA Rightly Charge The Scumbag And Should Charge Chelsea Too

Chelsea's Kurt Zouma admits live that Costa is a dirty little un-sportsman like cheat, then goes on to state outside football he's a really nice guy? Sorry Zouma but take it from me son, choose your friends wisely and take those signs seriously, I failed too and got burned and so can everyone else. Just ask Wayne Bridge and John Terry who had an affair with Bridges girlfriend.


On that note Branislav Ivanovic was also interviewed while handing over Zouma's Barclay's Man of the Match gong, Ivanovic wore the Captains armband against Arsenal but made a huge statement claiming that even Gary Cahill wore is while stressing he and the rest of his team know exactly who their Captain is. Errrrrrrrrrrrrr no Ivanovic, the Captain is the guy wearing the Captains Armband, when you're not playing there is no team to Captain.

The FA have charged Diego Costa with Violent Conduct and has until 22nd September to respond, Jose 'Moaninho Moronho' Mourinho went on to stress that Diego Costa plays how he has to play. That sounds to me like Mourinho admitting his players a cheat and supporting a cheating player, I agree Derbies are a cauldron of fire but that's no excuse for players like Diego Costa and Roy Keane. These typed of players should be banned from ever partaking in any type of sport that doesn't and shouldn't involve violence. If any sports fans wants to accept violence I suggest the bone heads go watch Boxing or UFC, there's no place for it in Football.


It's time for Chelsea FC, Mourinho and Diego Costa to feel the full force of the FA after Mourinho's latest press conference admitting he sends his player out to commit violent conduct.
