I think it is a perfect subsitute for Lions plus Lions and Irons rhymes and symbolizes the greater feminine appreciation for good poetry. How appropriate is that for the more cultured ladies team?
There is something I think the American readers will miss and possibly Canadians too. The flowers are TUDOR roses! That is a beautiful piece of symbology that proves the appropriateness of the new logo.
To fill in the gaps the War of the Roses (Americans note not the old movie) was between York and Lancaster. The York was white and the Lancaster was red. Hence the name of the war if you haven't got it.
When that misbegotten bastard Henry Tudor seized the crown in 1485 and became Henry VII he married Elizabeth of York. So the symbolism of the Tudor Rose was it combined the Lancaster and York crown.
Despite the rocky start of killing her relos, it was a good devoted marriage and Elizabeth played a core role in giving England Henry VIII.
In this context the Ladies far from miffed from being bared Lions, they in fact quite happy with Irons and will work with the men to achieve world domination of soccer just like Henry VII and Elizabeth overcame antagonism and worked together to extend England's influence.
As second thought perhaps the Ladies should merge the concepts. Forgo heraldic lions and use iron lions instead.
Modeled on Nelson's column lions but it turns out they are bronze so that won't do. Instead I propose the Iron Lions or (is that Lion Irons?) at the British Museum. What could be more quintessentially British than that?
I think that will sneak the joke without wails of indignant housewives protesting.
Was just perfect how only a fraction of the top of blue was visible while I read the whole question, once again naively drawn into the narrative.
Then scrolled down and saw what the blue part was.
🤣
Then I thought about all those who will probably get mad at reading it and laughed again. Bless your heart, you’ve got a wonderful sense of humour. You’re like the next generation of Victoria Wood, Poppy. When are you getting a TV Comedy show?
Comments get better a day later. “Is that real?” Is that real… are you for real. Ok, suddenly I don’t feel as naively daft as usual. “I don't think half of the people know what they are” Wait, are you serious? I get that people are unfamiliar with a lot of technology from the past decades but flippin’ irons are now relegated (hah, unintentional pun) to a museum too?
“Wales coach Rhian Wilkinson talked up how they wanted to ruin England's party, but the Lionesses were never in danger of leaving the dance early. They hammered Wales 6-1.” Is this why you are so angry, Poppy?
@purplepoppy You said 'football', Poppy, and I was confused for a minute... You meant soccer. Well, you are certainly one of the true winners in Wales... Don't worry about sports they all suck, Poppy. There are those, especially in the U. S. that live their whole fucking life vicariously through some fucking pro team.
Ignore the wise comments, purpleone' "Hammered" - my ass... get a REAL life ragebabe
Its clever, and I can see why some think its sexist. I have scars from my lesson on how the iron is a symbol of women's oppression. But no, its a play on words and quite clever
