GMac 1,405 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34882922Ayr 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 You know, ordinarily I'd have said we should support them by signing a petition to have the law discussed in Westminster and subsequently changed but they were very happy to revel in our demise so fuck them.I hope all 25 of them get their badges taken off them.

Dutchy 1,200 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Ancient Laws ruling today's world.That's about right in this country.Expect Jacob Ress-Mogg to explain to us how it all makes perfect sense, no doubt in his ancient accent.

mclovin9091 1,388 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 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.
