Make Scottish sports club crests exempt from Scottish heraldry rules.

What the petition asks

Ayr United football club may have to change their crest of nearly 60 years as it breaches Scottish heraldry rules. Airdrieonians have also recently had to change their badge following a similar ruling. This trend is threatening Scottish football heritage.
