The whole lion thing is interesting. It’s not really something I associate with Villa & its identity. For me it goes name, colours, ground, then badge.
We don’t even sing about being lions. I remember the “come on you lions” chant but I don’t think I’ve heard that in 20 years. And then there’s the very occasional “keep the lion flag flying” but that’s only really reserved for when we’re shit/lost a cup final.
Not saying we should get rid of the lion but it’s kinda just there.
