I never saw the "Moose" design, but the Lion Rampant and the St. Andrew's Cross are both revered symbols of Scotland. I don't see the emblem as a sign of disrespect.

As for the amalgamation, people like hanging onto things for sentimental reasons well past the time of their usefulness. If I were a UK citizen, I'd be glad my government was balancing sentimentality against fiscal prudence.
