Has The FA's plan to replace the three lions with a lion, lioness and lion cub 10:47 - May 11 with 2953 views | Lord_Lucan | been triumphed on here yet? Genuinely don't know. Just wondered what the split of opinion was. I am presuming an unusually high percentage on here will think it's a good idea when compared with general perceived opinion. | |

Yeah, just looked it up, it's basically a logo for a new "initiative". Honestly couldn't tell that those were anything other than 3 lions. | |

I completed an FA Grassroots survey on this. Clearly my views were in a minority, as they did the opposite of what I suggested!!!! | | | |

Top tip; when any organisation does a survey it’s because they have already decided what they want to do. | |

Ah, then I am happy to hear that - and don't think it's a bad thing at all for grass roots football. So do you know if the FA have changed their mind or did the media get the wrong end of the stick? I asked as I heard it being discussed on the radio the other day as if it were to go on all full kits. John Barnes was giving his views saying he thought it was a bit ridiculous but would favour the idea if it were for junior teams - to which I agreed - and agree. | |

Based on the link below, it looks like the media got the wrong end of the stick, although it wouldn't entirely surprise me if this was deliberate, so as to create a bit of outrage that they could feed off. https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/3-9-may-2021/three-lions-get-a-make-over-for | | | |

So the idea is to be inclusive at grassroots level, designed to encourage and support all age groups/genders. Sounds good. Although someone, somewhere will try to connect it to Pride. | |

I’m picking up a definite studenty, woke energy from those three. We should be respecting the sanctity of our made-up animals. | |

Instead of spending the money to improve grassroots football let’s pay some expensive consultants to design a more woke symbol. | |

“...more woke..”? The three adult lions were woke? Well there’s a thing. Just checking, are you doing the, pretending to be ignorant in order to be a bit mischievous, thing again? | | | |

No, I do not see what was wrong with the old badge and feel there are much better uses for FA money that spending it on this. | |

Wait until he notices that the cub has been left free to assume its own gender identity ... But how dare they reflect grassroots football in this factual, non-offensive and rather neutral way!!!! | |

I would have preferred it if they would have spent the money subsidising football pitches / training sessions for disadvantaged youngsters but hey, have a new badge if you want. | |

Hey, its your words ..more woke.. What’s the equivalent of seeing reds under the bed? Do you feel surrounded by people ready to leap out and be nice. Maybe you’ve been in the trenches too long. | | | |

Designs are tweaked and updated all the time, you silly sausage. Especially for a new initiative. It’s not some massive project or even much of a decision. | |
