So why does Man Citeh ....

[Guest Red Flame]

Anyone know ?

[Benitez]

for decoration.

 

Embarrassing innit!

[Guest Red Flame]

NOOOOO !!

 

Surely not !! Wouldn't a few sprigs of holly do just as well ?

[smithdown]

The way I heard it was just as Benitez said, they thought it'd look nice and a bit more continental.

[RafaTheGaffa]

Its how many times they've been relegated in the last decade.

[matty]

It's always been there I think.

 

they have a ship on it too. Doesn't mean the team is made up of sailors....

[matty]

The ship is to give a nod to their mercantile links as a city through the Manchester Ship Canal so that makes more sense than lobbing three stars on the badge as if they were candles on a birthday cake.

 

Maybe the ship is navigating by the stars in a nod to their attempts to achieve football greatness through the equally archaic method of appointing crap managers?

[Herbie von Smalls]

didn't they change the badge in recent years. i think the stars do have some kind of significance, but can't be arsed to find out why.

[mally]

the story i heard is that when their shirt deal used to be with kappa the italian designers added them and they've stayed ever since. whether that's true or not i don't know.

 

what have they won three times? promotion?

 

used to love it when they were sponsored by the computer games company EIDOS. a guy told me it stood for eleven idiots dreaming of success

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

maybe this explains it?

[Herbie von Smalls]

maybe this explains it?

if that ain't worthy of a place on the shirt, i don't know what is

[Boca]

Here you go.

 

"A design element that relates a more continental feel to the design"

 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

maybe it's one for each of the 3 trophies they've won

[Guest efcrmagic]

I always thought it was for 3 league titles they won.

 

It's not a witty answer like some of the others, some gudens there boys, but a hopeful answer.

They have indeed won three Dicision 1 Championships ... 1936/37, 1967/68 and 2001/02
