I've just received a citizens email regarding a planned consultation about the city badge. We are being invited to choose between 3 of the badges used, and to choose our preferred one. For me it the middle badge, used before the eagle crest. But my personal favourite is the roundal mock badge city used on the web site when the Mcfc/nycfc web feature was posted a while ago. It was like the last used badge but with better colouring and more dynamic looking..... Just wondering what's your fave badge is/was. For me the eagle has never done it... Just don't get it..

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!

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.
