Page 1 of Question for Man City fans.

Can anyone of you tell me the significance of the 3 stars on your club badge?I know clubs and countries have started to put a star over their badge for any old reason,normally the number of trophies won(World Cups,League titles etc).

I think each star represents a decade without winning anything. So 30 years with f*** all in the trophy cabinet!! :D
But remember city art a MASSIVE club - my arse!

My Man City mate has no idea, he didn`t reckon it was trophies because...

The club have won the League Championship twice, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and the European Cup Winners Cup once

The new crest looks rather like a military emblem of some sort. At the top are three stars, underneath is a golden eagle and imposed on that is the new club crest. The ship is still there, underneath that is MCFC and then three diagonal strikes (like the round badge in the early 70`s?). At the bottom of the whole thing is a bit of latin, Superbia In Proelio which means Pride In Battle. Here is the official note on the reson for the change.

"Manchester City Football Club would like to announce that they have commissioned a new crest to replace the round badge that has only existed since 1974. The new club crest is based on elements from the original "Arms of the City of Manchester", the crest which is still used by Manchester City PLC today and worn on the team shirt for all Wembley occasions. It retains the original shield set against an eagle taken from the Badge of the City of Manchester, dating from 1957, also originally found on the City of Manchester Crest, on the ribbon flowing from the knight`s helmet. Below the shield is the new club motto "Superbia In Proelio", a Latin phrase translating to "Pride in Battle". The three stars above the eagle constitute a design element that relate a more continental feel to the design.

The last line of the above would suggest there is no actual link to the club behind the three stars

That is absolutely retarded. They should have just wrote `City havent won anything in ages so we just redesigned the badge to make it look like we have`.

I was always a campaigner for a star to but put on the England shirt, since all the rest of the WC winning teams did it (apparently, for years, the FA were reluctant to mess with a `design classic`...). Now city have done that, it kind of devalues it. For example, Juve, who played yesterday, have got a mere two stars over their badge and all they had to do to earn them was win Serie A 13 times.............

They should do away with the stars and replace it with a big, pink cock.
