It should be the Phoenix
Opinion on the current Manchester United crest?

And the 3 lions are a fable from old days past right
This. Like on the 1958 FA Cup Final shirt.
And after that "Maybe players don't want to play in Manchester - should we relocate to Stoke?"
Oh wow how adorable. You think because they were plundered from other continents and brought to northern European castles as exhibition pieces you think they are “from there“. Wow such knowledge !
I guess African slaves of Jamaica are from here too. The British colonist were just lucky to have them there to work the land for free. Isn't that something
I think it should have more black and white. It's not like we wear gold/yellow anyway, even if it's a reference to the coat of arms.
EDIT: What the poster above said.
I’d love this without the stars.
Search for european lion and stop embarassing yourself. thanks
Who gives a feck?
Lemmi guess. Some prehistoric animal that was out and about and the extinct before any one was alive or gave a feck ?
Best top and crest in football history. Spectacular. It would really give us a distinctive and recognisable brand look without looking like corporate sellouts.
I like this one below. I like the Manchester United Football Club more than simply Manchester United.
And what a showcase that was
Tqlka bout a thread solving a problem that doesn't exist.
Next thread "old traffords name, should it be rebranded".
Ah nice to see some support for these potential designs
Seriously though I'm not in favour of going this route I just thought I would make them to show how it would possibly look. Then again many did not like the "simplified" Juventus badge redesign at first but it has since been looked upon more favourably.
This.
In the details.
I personally quite like the current design of our badge though it could probably do with a some slight design changes to improve the overall appeal of it.
However I made these just to showcase a design aspect in which our club may choose to implement if it's decided the badge needs a change in favour of a more "brand orientated" route.

Don't quit your day job, pal, unless your day job is graphic design, in which case, definitely quit your day job.
Current one is perfect. Never change it. Unless we revert back to having "Football Club" on the bottom which was great, too.
YouTube has been around since 2005! So it's well past the point of mature.....sorry how are other clubs embarrassing themselves exactly by using these platforms? What kinks?
Lions were chosen as heraldic symbols simply because they were amongst the most powerful things known. Others chosen were bears and eagles, both native to europe, and indeed the aforementioned mythical dragons and unicorns. The use of such symbols long pre-dated the colonial era.
If it's not broken, don't fix it. Most non-United fans I know say our crest is absolutely top-draw. 0.5 % of our fans don't like it perhaps. I definitely prefer ours to the soulless, modern (for the sake of it) ones like Juve's (who themselves had a good one before). That saying, some people would rather have OT destroyed in place of some modern, generic brand new stadium so it's up to taste I guess.
We need something modern and fashionable, to reflect the Caf's recently found love for pleasing-on-the-eye football above all else.
Thanks, now I can't get this abomination out of my head. Everytime I close my eyes, it's there, haunting me. Brilliant way to disgust three sets of fans though.
Think you're missing his point. The way some United fans drool over City and Liverpool, I wouldn't be surprised if they were all for it!
I've never considered redesigning the crest as I'm more than happy with the current one.
However, Juventus' rebranding to the modern looking slick 'J' is rather smart and would be open to something similar within reason.

That's way WAY too "busy" by modern branding standards. It might look nice on an old building but it'll look shite on a shirt.
If we go for a brand redesign I reckon they'll strip it down to the devil alone, like they've done with the fashion range for quite a while now...
I actually really like that modern vintage concept.
Think redesigning is the last thing on our mind right now. The current crest is fine, not the greatest, but it still looks good.
Wouldn't mind a slight colour change to it though like the image below, but keep the shape (maybe change slightly), the circular shape gives me a City vibe, which for me is a no.

Best crest around by far
Can't beat the simplicity, symmetry and clean lines of my home town team badge....one of my faves. If United could come up with something simple like this, I'd be all for it.
I do love this one. Looks retro with a modern touch.
The one that's not a phoenix? The same one that was on City's crest for up until a couple of years back?

Yep I prefer it with “Football Club” on it. Apart from that it’s perfect.
We're not saying to act like them, just that their new crest is smart.
Two completely different things.

Brutal
Apologies for the spam imgur.com/a/G0tjSni - coat of arms on this seasons kit I think it looks quite smart

That's fecking horrific. If you ever do anything like that again, do it as a 'spoiler' and have a clear warning, in capitals.We need something modern and fashionable, to reflect the Caf's recently found love for pleasing-on-the-eye football above all else.
Yes YouTube officially launched in December 2005 but it didn't introduce in video advertising or partner programs until late 2007, it didn't introduce analytical tools until mid-2008 or promoted videos until November 2008 – around the same time it started getting blocked in half-a-dozen or so countries over various political tussles. At this point what incentives were there for United to launch on the platform? It was also largely unregulated and rife with rights problems so again, why the feck would we tie ourselves to them in any way especially when we had our own international content delivery system in the form of MUTV? As time's gone by, things have improved greatly and YouTube has become more widely accepted as an established entertainment portal but even 13 years in they're still trying to get to grips with moderation problems. But don't take my word for it, just listen to our Managing Director Richard Arnold speak explain why you're completely wrong here:
Around the 15:20 mark he explains why we consciously choose not to be first to the market on social media platforms. There's also a nice bit about how the teething issues we had with our Facebook launch (kinks if you will) informed our current strategy. In regards to clubs embarrassing themselves over social media, it used to be a regular feature back in the early days of Twitter:
There was no media embedding, quoting or in-house analytical tools back then so you just ended up with pages of weird interns rambling on about random stuff over official communication channels, so again what incentive was there for us to set up an account? It's no accident that we launched after all those things became readily available. So yeah, the club isn't in the stone age, we're just extremely measured in regards to our social media output.
P.S. This is my last post on the matter as we've veered way off topic.

The current badge is perfect, maybe change the yellow to a more metallic gold effect but thats about it. Obviously i'm biased but i think it's the nicest badge in football.
And even if you don't love it better the devil you know, whenever a club entertains a rebrand it's always possible some twat graphic designer convinces a club to adopt an abomination like the new Juventus or Leeds ones.

Nah I got that, I just reacted on the look of the badge itself, it made my eyes bleed.
