The New Badge

What's actually going on with the official new badge? i've heard that there may be a copyright issue with the welsh dragon or something along those lines? can anybody please explain what the deal is

I've heard similar rumours but nothing concrete. I think that the club would have stated that there was a problem in terms of copyright in one of their statements if this was true, so its most likely not. However, in the case that it is, it could be why they have opened up on the issue and released tonights statement asking for the fans to have an input on the new badge due to the previous design breaching copyright. Thats unlikely, but certainly possible. However, its just rumours at the moment so any information that comes to light will be added to this thread.

It was lifted off wikipedia apparently

But to be fair who 'owns' the welsh flag?

..Same with songs, after a period of time they lose their copyright..

Not all dragons are the same?
