Manchester United Badges over the years

#10 1998-Present Badge

Few Manchester United badges have attracted more attention than this one which was introduced in 1998.

The words “football club” were removed from the crest in order to make Manchester United a more commercial and marketable brand. Many fans were angered by this change as they didn’t want their club's symbol to become a marketing tool but the crest stuck.

Recently, the club’s chief executive Ed Woodward stated that the words “football club" will be added to the club's crest once again in the near future.
