About Superbia Mcr

Superbia…. Pride…

Pride in your colours, pride in your team even when times are tough.

In 1995 disillusioned by the range of products available at the City Club shop season ticket holder Mick Peek approached the club with a view to creating designs that reflected those that he and other fans would like to see.

At this time JD Sports had just taken over the running of the club stores and David Makin (the D of JD) was so impressed by Mick’s vision that he encouraged him to join as Manchester City’s Marketing & Merchandise Manager.
One of Mick’s first tasks was to rebrand and replace the existing badge which had issues related to copyright ownership. In 1997 Mick designed the club crest that is now referred to as the ‘Eagle Badge’. Part of that rebrand also included the addition of a club motto and Superbia in Proelio was added (Latin for “Pride in Battle”).

In 2016 the club updated the badge to return to a more traditional circle style but for many the ‘Eagle Badge’ symbolises the rebirth of City and the start of the incredible journey to one of the best club teams in world football.

Superbia Mcr has been created now by Mick to celebrate those times and will feature designs created for the fans by a fan.
