Best and Worst Crests

[Say Goodbye]

I was looking at the matchday thread against City and decided that I prefer their crest to ours. This saddened me. However there is a plethora of different crests to choose from and I wondered if we could agree on the best and worst.

Shockers from...

Fulham, Napoli, Wolves,

Better efforts from...

Udinese, Manchester City,

I've always quite liked Udinese'

 

[Sewelly The Geordie]

Terrible.

Yeah that one sure is depressing.

If anyone wondered why AC Milan's crest has an England flag on it, this question was asked here 8 years ago. Thanks Redcafe.

I know that Barca's is Catalonia/St George etc. Thought Milan was similar.

Didn't City essentially copy our badge? We had the ship and something similar, which they then took.

A modern version of that would look a lot nicer than just a "Manchester United" in my opinion.

Another poster thinks we should change our logo and nickname from the Red Devils to the Mighty Eagles, NOT ever going to happen, however I would like to see "Football Club" back on our badge. Anyone else like to see Football Club back on the United badge??

For feck sake

It's not so much England's flag as St George's cross, and St George is the patron saint of many regions accross Europe if I'm not mistaken. The cross also appears on Barcelona's crest.

What are Hamburg doing? They just made that on paint.

 

[Baxter]

Dinamo Minsk is quite good.

Any of the Americans could qualify for worst.

 

[Everest Red]

Any thing with a red bull logo. NYRB, seriously?

 

[Arruda]

Hamburg is probably the worst crest in European football. Hell, when I first saw it on FIFA I thought it was some team they didn't have the rights for and just made something up quickly.

 

[Baxter]

Cercle Brugge is bad

 

[Waltraute]

City's badge is the badge equivalent of a Mock Tudor house with a melody doorbell. Looks like Hyacinth Bucket designed it, complete with 'continental stars' and silly motto (Superbia in Proelio; cardinal sins are always such an inspiration!).

Not that our badge is much to shout about, though; I prefer the old one which robocop posted.

I've always liked Portsmouth's badge.

 

[Nobby style]

Have always thought River Plate's was class

 

[711]

Bolton's is irritating. Anyone take pity on an old twat and post it for me?

 

[Ryan's Beard]

Rotherham's makes me sad to be a football fan

 

[Waltraute]

It's pretty horrible, I agree.

 

[Tomuś]

Almost all of my mates who don't support United think ours is the dogs' bollocks.

Ours and City's are pretty much one bollock each, I'd agree.

I always read it as "crap".

 

[Lynk]

It's alright, not the worst.

 

[Ryan's Beard]

It's alright, not the worst.

Maybe that's what they were aiming for, ambitious.

 

[Ryan's Beard]

Always forget about this gem.

Just got this Google advert on Youtube

That's a bird on what looks to be a basketball.

Some of the old badges in Serie A were awesome:

I've always thought Ajax's was class but I'm not sure how many would agree

 

[coolredwine]

I always liked Milan's for some reason.

 

[BAMSOLA]

Terrible.

Close Thread.

Holy shit, I only just noticed our badge doesn't say Manchester United Football Club...

Welcome to 1998!

 

[Mystry]

There could be something in German clubs having the worst badges.

Werder Bremen

Karlsruher

Stuttgarter

They all look like logos for companies that make cleaning supplies.

It's lovely.

We played this lot in a preseason friendly a while ago.

There are some right shockers in Chinese football.

 

[Waltraute]

Always forget about this gem.

Looks like it's about to bash your head in!
