Reading the papers today & just watched the Bloated Bullsh'tng Comps News coverage about the carry on over Manky U's "Nazi overtones". I'm sorry but I just don't see it, can anyone else or am I being dense?

offending article & the actual thing, no comparison to me. :confused:

I think it does look a little like a swastika, but then again, I used to think the isle of man flag did as well.:D

That's what I thought, more like a jumble of straight lines, some folk out there have odd perspectives as far as comparisons go in my view.

That's the power of symbols to suggest on the mind! ;)

Remember in India the swastika is a sign of exact opposite sentiment to that of the nazi party. It is slightly strange to see them painted on the sides of houses /shops.

Using the words New Order probably helps people to make a mind hop to Nazism.

I know it features prominently in Hinduism & Buddhism & conveys good luck & the sense that "All is well". But recent history depicted it in another light & that is what most people associate it with when they see it.

Again, I don't really think that matters if you can't make out the symbol in the first instance, the words certainly wouldn't sway me either. The only possible connection I see with the wording would be with "New World order", but even then I'm inclined to think of Multi nationals, big business & Dodgy Politicoes. :)

People are going to see what they want to see. Question is, who's the plonker that came up with something which could be misinterpreted.

Typical of how some people will say anything they can against La Crème - usually the most ridiculous things.
I cannot see the swastika image in that "logo", perhaps it was the "New Order" phrase? Just another example of sad people.

Not certain but I think you will find that the Indo/Persian symbol is the reverse of the Nazi symbol.

Quite right Barrie, I've been meaning to post that for a day or two now. Storm in a teacup if you ask me.

It's been used for thousands of years in Asia, the Middle East ,Africa and Europe. I remember seeing a Celtic shield in a museum with it on.
It's used both ways round and each arm represents different good things. I quite like it as a design, like the Greek key pattern.
It certainly made a hell of a flag!
I don't remember seeing it in N/S American culture but then these colonials always were a bit behind the rest of us.
Perhaps the MU symbol was just a good luck symbol?

It`s not a symbol, it spells MUFC.
