Three Lions become endangered species as FA redesigns logo

FANS hit out yesterday after the Three Lions were dropped in favour of a lion, lioness and cub to show ‘the true diversity’ of English football.

The rebranding was dubbed ‘PC nonsense’ by some on social media, with others asking ‘Who’s offended by a lion?’

Football Association bosses insisted the badge will help increase grassroots participation by symbolising ‘progression’ and ‘inclusivity’.

They said senior men’s and women’s teams ‘will continue to wear the traditional Three Lions crest, as they have done since the first ever international game in 1872’.
