Thread | I wonder if York City FC have received any flack for their new away shirt…
at 20:40 12 Jul 2025
It very much looks like the Norse Valknut, which symbolises death/sacrifice/afterlife but is probably best known for its reappropriation by the Nazis and numerous other right wing organisations (possibly because the root origination is from Germanic tribes).
The club just describe it as a “stand out triangle pattern” but it has to be a salute to the Valknut, especially when you include other kit design factors like the Viking boat icon on rear of shirt and the spelling out of ‘YORK’ in runes on the home shirt.
I respect them for acknowledging their strong Viking connections (we could do the same with Viking, Angles/Anglo-Saxon heritage etc when all this Sheeran stuff blows over) but is this particular sigil a bit too much? Or is it just fancy triangle patterns?
