Lord Lyon taking football clubs to task over badges

[Steve Ashton]

And just in case anyone who may be wondering-----


Our X Marks Crest ---



Was seen by the former Lord Lyon, David Sellars, and described as "A handsome crest".

So I guess we do not have to worry.

While some may see the center as containing a St. Andrews cross it is actually a letter "X".

@Steve Ashton

Were it in violation it wouldn't stop me
Because I'm a bit of a scofflaw you see
With this badge that I wear
With nary a care
A member of X-Marks I be!

Maybe some canny graphics arts person could incorporate the 'A' and 'Y' in Ayr with the 'R' to create a saltire-like shape that could evoke the saltire without running afoul of the heraldry laws. Ah, well. As a Yank, I am too far removed and ignorant of the pertinent law to really 'have a dog in the hunt.'
