Our Badge

[RiversideBlue]

An interesting, well-balanced piece in the Guardian today, written by a blue, discussing the origins of the ship on our badge, and it's links to slavary in the cotton fields of America.

Abandon ship: does this symbol of slavery shame Manchester and its football clubs?

A three-masted vessel adorns the city’s buildings and both teams’ crests. But is it an emblem of a crime against humanity?

FFS,The ship is not 'a symbol of the slave trade' is it though? How many people immediately think of the slave trade when they see the ship on the badge? Utter woke nonsense, trying to create a problem when there is none!

The same as the monarch's head on coins is a symbol of the slave trade.

It is a bit daft with the eagle comment being national socialist when loads of countries have eagles on their flags now.
