Manchester City confirm that they’re scrapping their current badge

Bring back the boat

Since the arrival of their Abu Dhabi owners, there have been plenty of changes at Manchester City.

A squad overhaul; the renaming of the stadium; even the construction of the impressive Etihad campus.

And now, there’s another change in the offing.

Having consulted the club’s supporters earlier in the season, it now seems that the club are set to ditch their current badge in favour of a new one.

The current badge, which features an eagle and three stars, has been used by City since the late 1990s.

According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, the club have now asked a team of designers to produce a new badge.

We can only hope that the people responsible for creating the new version are as talented as those of you that sent us your designs a few weeks ago.
