El Manchester City FC ha presentado oficialmente su nuevo escudo en una fecha tan señalada como el Boxing Day contra el Sunderland. Una sorpresa arruinada por los propios hinchas citizens dado que se publicaron fotos del nuevo escudo antes del partido.
Un cambio avalado por los hinchas del club a través de una votación publica, un intento de volver al pasado como señala el historiador Gary James, que ha formado parte del comité de esa votación pública mirror.co.uk.
“This club knows how important its heritage is to its fans and it has ensured that those fans being consulted were fully aware of the history behind its previous symbols and I was privileged to play a part in that process with my lectures.
“I am most pleased that what has emerged, is a badge that can be described as a modern original – a badge that is authentic to the club and to the city, but with future facing touches.
Today, we revealed our new badge to fans prior to the Boxing Day game against Sunderland AFC.
The badge, which has been described as a ‘modern original’, follows a 30-day consultation period and a series of lectures on the badges’ history by Manchester Football Expert Gary James, during which thousands of Cityzens fed back to the club as to whether, and if so how, they wanted the badge to evolve.
Speaking of the new design, Manchester Football Historian Gary James, said: “This Club knows how important its heritage is to its fans and it has ensured that those fans being consulted were fully aware of the history behind its previous symbols and I was privileged to play a part in that process with my lectures.
