Ayr United are calling on fans to help design a new club badge since the current crest breaks heraldic law.

A complaint from a member of the public has led to the Procurator Fiscal for the Court of the Lord Lyon ruling that the emblem contravenes ancient rules.

Airdrie United changed their badge this season for the same reason.

And an Airdrie-supporting lawyer has told BBC Scotland up to 25 other Scottish clubs could fall foul of the centuries old legislation.

"If the badge has a shield and certain symbols within it - lion rampant, saltire... your club is likely to be in trouble," he added.

That would also affect the Scottish national team. You're not Scotland anymore etc.

Regardless of who the teams are: How fucking sad is it that people (person) fell the need to complain about something as shitty and petty as this.

I mean FFS im sure it had nothing to do with branding or image rights when the badges were designed, its clubs wanting to show that they are from this fucking country.

If we didn't tell them to fuck off all we would have to do is rotate the lion 90 degrees to the right and say that we are showing our support to Britain and have one lion on our shirt.
