The answer to your question is YES!

Are you sure? I thought it was in homage to kids' TV favourite Parsley the Lion:

Yo willz --this is a facsimile of the official municipal flag of my fair city:

Leaving aside the absence of a lion, a crown or old-skool football, do you spy any symmetry with the club crest????

talking of club crests, has anyone got a tattoo of the club crest...out of curiosity?

Considering it looks just like the forbury lion, my guess would be yes.

I'll ask.

What's with the use of the colour red?

Where are the Elm trees?

Where are the biscuits?

Pfft, you wouldn't be able to see it if they had in it in a slightly of greyish colour.

George Simonds's Maiwand Lion

A Nottingham Forest fan of mine always bangs on about how the bloke that designed the Forbury Lion topped himself because the cats stance was wrong. Looking on Wikipedia, it says Simonds was actualty right.

"Rumours persisted that Simonds committed suicide on learning that the lion's gait was incorrectly that of a domestic cat. In fact, he made careful observations on lions and the stance was anatomically correct."

Check out the school the sculptor went to and look near the end of the list of past students
