Why Is Man City Copying Us?

That is a great looking badge. It's a beatiful update of Man City's traditional badge. And I love its resemblence to our logo, emphasising the links between the teams.
Seriously if this turns into anything stupid it's getting locked. Bad attempt at trolling if you ask me. We discussed 100 times about our badge being similar to Melbourne and CFG going to round badges for all clubs.
I think they're flower merchants. Also, why isn't City curved on the bottom?

No one cares about the initial post, people are just commenting on whether they like it or not
Just change the white circle into an Orange circle and it would be so bad ass. I'm not getting what the flower is representing
Nothing like our logo except its round.
Ours is a thing of beauty and graceful.
120 years and that is the shit they come up with.

It's a Lancaster Tudor rose.
I don't know the original origins, but it is just a modern update of a previous design that they used.

Why a sailing ship? Was football invented in the era of sailing ships? this remind me more of our Christopher Columbus holiday.

The ship is on Manchester's flag or something....United's crest has a boat on it as well. Good to see we have the best badge of the lot
Since people are asking, and to avoid further confusion:
- The ship is for the Manchester Ship Canal, a canal dug in the mid 19th century to make the inland city of Manchester accessible to overseas trade. It played a huge part in turning Manchester into a huge manufacturing hub and made it one of the UK's biggest cities. The ship is of course from the era when this period of success was greatest.
- The rose is the Lancaster rose, the family symbol of the House of Lancaster during the Wars of the Roses, which remains the symbol of Lancashire, the traditional county of Manchester.
- The three light blue lines on dark blue are for the three rivers which flow through the city centre, also associated with the city's commercial prosperity.
As for the eagle on the current badge instituted in the late 90s, Noel Gallagher once quipped: "It looks like the Lazio badge with that eagle on it. [...] When was the last time you saw an eagle in Manchester?"
