Leyton Orient criticise Wrexham for including a badge on its newly unveiled third kit that they say closely resembles Orient’s own emblem. Orient publicly questioned the design choice after Wrexham’s badge appeared on the strip that Wrexham’s owners promote through club channels.
Wrexham releases details of the kit, which includes a cream base with a black collar and terracotta-orange detailing, alongside images of co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mc demonstrating the strip. The Guardian reports that Orient posts question the similarity and directs the criticism at the celebrity owners, while BBC Sport focuses on Orient’s complaint about the badge mirroring their own.
The outlets agree on the core issue: Orient challenges Wrexham’s badge design following the third kit unveiling and highlights the involvement of Reynolds and Rob Mc. They differ mainly in emphasis, with the Guardian providing more description of the kit reveal and social-media tone, while the BBC frames the issue as a direct criticism by Orient.
