Millwall Football Club has found itself at the center of a controversy following the use of its club badge in a children's anti-racism booklet. Westminster Council has issued an apology after an illustration featured the badge next to a depiction of a white supremacist, which has sparked outrage.
The club's supporters are considering legal action, condemning the 'serious misuse' of their registered rampant lion badge. The booklet, intended for primary schools, has since been withdrawn, and remaining copies are set to be destroyed.
The illustration intended to address historical racism in football backfired, leading to the council's commitment to reviewing its processes. As Millwall pushes for Premier League promotion, the mishap adds an unforeseen distraction to their ambitious season.
