CapitalDiamond Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 To check if this is acceptable, someone should send it to Alexander Green (the Lord Lyon's PF for his approval. Personally, I'd like to see Ayr do nothing and see if the Lord Lyon's PF really will pursue this matter all the way to "the Lyon Court". Be good to hear the explanation as to why no action is taken about the other 20 odd "illegal badges" until a complaint is made. As it stands, the law means that the other badges are sitting ducks until they come to the Lord Lyon's attention under a law which is a mere 100 years older than the Salem Witch Trials!

Mybitchunderprotest Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 As much as I hate the way that this has come about, complaints to authorities that are best suited to fans of the bigots, I look forward to the day that Ayr have a badge designed by an Airdrie fan.

RAPID BENANO Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 See if Ayr keep their badge where does that put us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeDiamond90 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Who grassed Airdrie into this Lyon thing previously? Think it was a case that someone at the stadium company was trying to get it trademarked or something along those lines and it was brought to the attention of Lord Lyon during that process See if Ayr keep their badge where does that put us? Same position we are currently in I would imagine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalDiamond Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Lord Lyon's procurator fiscal says that he's in constructive talks with the club and indicated that he's thinking along the same lines as El Gringo (although he wouldn't confirm if he would approve that exact design). Ayr fans if you like it you should let the club know. It's essentially doing what Airdrie did by making the least number of changes to the existing badge.

killienick Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 That badge is lovely! We went through the same thing in the 90s and the badge we ended up with is an abomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 For the last few years we've used a heavily bordered logo on the shirt - it's therefore not actually in a shield and we don't need to change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDiamond Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Unfortunately that won't work. It will still be deemed to be Heraldic on the basis that there is still something there that could be painted onto a shield and carried into battle. That might sound mad, but it was the basis upon which Airdrieonian's new badge was signed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapitalDiamond Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 "......We are dealing with the oldest heraldic register in the world here. It is a very serious matter." Given what's going on in the world it's laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitalDiamond Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Several people get paid for this. Lord Lyon is a part time position but I believe he's on 70K pro rated.
