The Premier League leaders have used their current "Eagle" logo since 1997, but they have not ruled out a return to any of the previous badges used since 1930, if that's what the fans want.

Members will have the chance to vote at this weekend's fixture against Bournemouth, or at a consultation office in Manchester.

The club has even arranged for a historian to give free lectures on the history of the options.

CEO Ferran Soriano explained the reason for the vote, per the Daily Mail:

"

The badge is the most visual representation of Manchester City and is so central to our heritage.

We are looking for our fans to share their views as to what they consider to be the most authentic symbols of the club. The views of our Cityzens are essential to the process; they will have a real say on the future of our badge.
