Manchester United recently launched an NFT collection with Tezos titled The Devils.

On December 28, NFT artist Lucrece reported that he is in talks with Arthur Breitman, co-founder of Tezos, to get an explanation as to why Manchester United’s new NFT collection is using designs and styles similar to his own.

It’s important to note that Arthur and I both share sentiments that art and artists on tezos is something we both want to protect.

I think the resolution here should be beneficial for everyone involved.

The artist in question was careful enough not to directly accuse Manchester United of plagiarising his art, although he still showed how the two artworks look very similar.

There has since been an update as Lucrece got a response from the club and it sounds like they will be able to find a solution.

Update: correspondence between me and ManU has started. Had a productive call with them just now. Probably the last update on this for a while since everyone is still on holiday.

In times of adversity, you’ll know who your friends are. Thank you, tezos community.

Michael Jordan - Crown Collection
“All you needed was one little match to start that whole fire.”- Michael Jordan. In regards to both the action on the court and everything that happened off of it, Jordan provided a spark that changed the future in so many different ways throughout his tenure in Chicago, and even decades after the fact. And, in the end, he got everything that he wanted when he began his NBA journey: he turned the team and organization as a whole into a respected program, like the dynasties he looked up to as a child. Having steered the Chicago Bulls to an incredible six championship rings in eight years from 1991-1998, scooping up five MVP awards in the process, Jordan is one of just a handful of superstars who have truly transcended their sports. Jordan and Scottie Pippen’s (right) relationship both on and off the pitch was arguably the foundation of the Bulls’ incredible success. Scottie Pippen was present with Jordan for all six championships in eight seasons. Dennis Rodman (left) His relentless and smart play perfectly suited what Jordan and Jackson wanted to do to take the Bulls to greater heights. Although his exploits off the court earned him special fame, Rodman was unquestionably one of the greatest basketball players of his generation and one of the finest defensive players in the history of the game.
