The 3 stars

[Nebuchadnezzar]

at the time it was to adopt a slightly more continental look, some other teams that had Kappa kits at the time did the same

It's to signify the greatest rock artists that performed at Maine Road, Queen, Pink Floyd and David Cassidy!

drop the pink floyd hippies for Bowie and I'd agree m8

was at all three the cassidy one not a patch on the mayhem @ bell vue lol ( the sort of york away of cassidy gigs)

Drop Cassidy for Dire straits more like!

Each star equals 1 million, and they are representative of the number of posts in the Isco thread.

The three stars were deliberately incorporated into the new badge at the time to irritate United fans but no-one could foresee that they would still be as effective after so many years.

they're for the three wise men who turned up when our Jesus was born

Bell, Lee and Summerbee. No other reason.

It's a common known fact that each star represents the 12 first Lord Mayors of eaglesburg in the early 15th century. Manchester used to be known as eaglesburg before king Brian 5th changed the name. This is the reason why we have an eagle on the badge as well. Strange but true.

This. They are a bit shit really. I hope when we win our 4th European Cup they will add a 4th star, and so on, so they mean something.
