Imagine wanting Smalling over LovrenFrom rumors of signing Mustafi and Lovren to getting Smalling is great news. Too bad it's just a loan without an option to buy (like Zappacosta). I hope to never see Juan Jesus again
Nah they all inspired from City’s crestWell that probably has something to do with City Football Group owning both teams as well as Melbourne City FC which also shares the same colors.
All 3 have similar shaped crests that were inspired by NYCFC's.

Nah they all inspired from City’s crest
City went back to a circle crest after years of not using one, but the designers of the NYCFC crest don't appear to have been inspired by the Man City's old crest that they weren't using. NYCFC's crest came out a year and a half before Man City updated theirs back to a circle.

Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the crest I created for NYCFC would massively influence the crest design for sister clubs Melbourne City FC and Manchester City FC.

Interview with Rafael Esquer, History Behind NYCFC Badge | The NYCFC Nation
He didn’t just stop looking at New York City for inspiration. He wanted to design a badge that was timeless and could fit in anywhere in the world, from MLS to England or Australia. Funny enough, City Football Group loved his design ideas so much that they took the idea from NYCFC’s logo and ended up incorporating it into both Melbourne City and Manchester City’s badges, giving them new looks based off of NYCFC.
The style of all 3 crest are very similar in how they are laid out. Multiple circle borders around the outer crest on all 3. NYC has the pentagon, Melbourne the hearts and Man City the 18 and 94 all placed in the exact same places on crest. Thick circle border on the inside of the crest that borders the teams logo.
So yes, NYCFC's style of circle crest did inspire Man City when the decided to go back to a circle crest.

The newer city logo was based upon the old logo and a fan vote. Idk what that Nycfc dude is talking about, unless his design was incorporated into the ones that were given to us to vote on.

Praha reps already know at this point in time it's all about the Champions league revenue. At least they get to host the might Barcelona.

Yes, the fans wanted to go back to a circle as the circle was a part of most of their history. CFC liked what the designer did for NYCFC's logo and used it when they went back to a circle logo. Similarities between NYCFC's and Man City's are evident. For the record never did I say that Man City went back to a circle based on NYCFC's logo, but they took the style of circle that NYCFC had when they updated.
