this theme was commisioned by me, I actually took photos of the images myself with my own nikon d300 on a trip to old trafford, the theme doesn't infringe Manchester Uniteds copyright on their brand... which is Manchester United PLC, under UK law anything which is viewable to the general public it, I.E. not in the private domain, like someones back garden is fair game to be photographed, this is different to say franch law and possible U.S. law.
Manchester United actually changed the clubs crest from the traditional Manchester 'City' coat of arm to a new design which emcompassed the 'red devil' logo device as UK city 'coats of arms' cannot be copyrighted under UK law, neither can the words 'Manchester United' as this is a generic phrase under the english language.
So I guess it pays to know you history! and you're football teams and the laws.
