Why do Manchester City have three stars on their badge?
The current City badge, used since 1997, displays three stars above the main crest. Usually stars are placed on a Club’s badge or jersey to display the number of European Cup victories they have. However, the stars on the badge that will be replaced at the end of this season are purely decorative.
When introduced, the stars were included to make the badge feel continental and give it a modern look. It has never been the most popular emblem, though, and the club have consulted the fans to recreate it, reverting to a more traditional style.
As for the stars? Well, they are gone for the time being. There is a Spanish fella called Pep starting in a few months who is taking care of that.
