the descent of man
A coil of rope is used to signfy 100 - for 200 it's two coils and so on. In the written language (hieroglyphs) this is written as sh.t (with an unknown vowel), sometimes today written as shet. See link below for an image:
For "design purposes", they have never won a European trophy and they haven't won 30+ titles (Juventus have 2 stars to signify their 27 something titles, Inter Milan have 1 to signfy 18 etc.) They say it is a more continental design but it causes confusion causing people who have never heard of Man City (most people outside of stockport) will be under the impression they have won at least 3 European Cups when actually it's been 35 years since they won anything. In other words it's a complete farce.
