Pretty sure this is due in MAN this week either Thursday or Friday to take them on their pre-season tour.

Not being bias or anything but this does actually look amazing.

Cool

You'd think that not having won anything for 35 years they would of at least put a reference to the fa cup on it, mind you at 600 million for one cup you probably wouldn't want to shout about it too loudly.

Small team small airline!

stunning, with the exception of the winglets, that look like an afterthought, with a football that you buy from a newsagents on it.

DS - no need to be bitter about it

Think it's a massive achievement. I hear they will follow in BA's steps and name it after British towns and cities and call it "Stockport"

Makes a pleasant change though - wonder if the Gooners will get an Emirates one?

Dumb move

Why piss off potential customers who support other clubs.

Emirates even though they have supported Chelsea and Arsenal pretty much never had people avoid them because of it.

As a branding exercise some marketing flunky has cocked up.

Racedo is right, I wouldnt want to fly on Etihad for fear of flying on it. I know this is a biased and very subjective view but it is one that will be taken by quite a few.

I suspect some people will feel the same is true of the Turkish Airlines aircraft in United colours.

Cool

I see the image has disappeared, hopefully the blue team from Stockport will do the same!

You have clearly not seen the numerous Etihad TV commercials involving City.
I think he means there's a lot of ordainary people from the red and black part of Manchester land who would be quite seriously annoyed at flying on that Airbus.

It's not just a game to many, on the ground in the UK the feelings and outcomes may well be different from the Air Conditioned "thinking cushions" at MarketingGeniusInc HQ.....

I was trying to imagine my Celtic mad cousin ever getting on a jet spnsored by Rangers....it didn't end well! Also it doesn't need two threads!

Doesn't Etihad translate as United or Union or something along those lines?

Can I correct the gentleman from California, I am a red I was born in Manchester all my family are reds and the vast majority of my friends are. It is an urban myth no United fans live in manchester, yes there are a lot of fans from elsewhere but then we have one of the biggest supports in the world so there would be wouldnt there.

Can I remind you both Air Asia and now turkish airlines have had United liveries, well before this.
