Fraud? Malaysian Club Rips Off Manchester City Logo
Malaysian Club Petaling Jaya City FC this week went through a redesign process, in which the club's logo was changed most notably.
Founded in 2014 as MISC-MIFA, the club currently competes in the Malaysia Super League, the highest tier of Malaysian football. Since its foundation in 2014, the club experienced two promotions, whereas the promotion to the Malaysia Super League was the product of one team pulling out.
Manchester City - Petaling Jaya City FC
Compare Manchester City's redesigned crest to Petaling Jaya City FC's logo down below.
Although Petaling Jaya City FC did their best trying to hide the obvious similarities by changing the general shape and some elements of the badge, the reminiscence is nevertheless blatant.
For one, the officials replaced the main elements of Manchester City's new crest, a single red rose and a sailing boat, with a tulip respectively an eagle, and altered the general shape into a somewhat more dynamic design.
On the other hand, characteristic design features such as the color scheme as well as the trademark simpflied look were retained in the design process to make for an obvious copy in the end.
Should Manchester City sue such a blatant attempt of copying their design as Juventus already did in the past or would you take it as an acknowledgement of sorts, if a club heavily bases its core identity upon yours? Let us know your thoughts in the comments down below.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.
