    I was just watching a video on youtube and found out that man utd and city used the same crest for their club.

    Bit of a mad fact really. Utd used the logo in 1902 whereas city followed on in 1976.

    That's the coat of arm of the City of Manchester. Before the red devil crest Utd put it on their jerseys for cup finals (famously on the blue jersey in the 1968 European Cup Final) and today still use it on club blazers.

    Shels and Bohs both use the Dublin coat of arms as the basis for their crests so have had similar badges over the years. I think HSV have the Hamburg coat of arms in their stadium which is practically the St. Pauli crest too. So not too uncommon of an occurence.

    Sure that's nothing. RB Leipzig, Salzburg and New York Red Bull all still use the same crest.

    Didn't one RB Salzburg player wear a RB Leipzig jersey in a match by accident.
