Under-nine football team's logo is 'violent and offensive'
A children's football team have been ordered to change their logo because their local football association says it's violent and offensive.
Sedgley Scorpions' under-nines have a badge saying "Stuffem, tankem, 'ammerem", which is a well-known expression in the West Midlands.
The club now faces spending £2,500 to replace all their shirts, pennants and club souvenirs.
Mike Pennick, of Birmingham County FA, said: "We considered the badge unsuitable because it can be deemed violent, and offensive."
The club says they've used the logo for two seasons without any problems.
The ban on the logo came after a Labour activist complained about it following a game between the Scorpions and her son's side.
Gary Davis, chairman of the club, said: "This is political correctness gone mad. The printer even thought the words were a bit of Latin - he said it was brilliant."
The Sun reports the FA also said the "stuffem" reference could be seen as immoral.

Long time no chat. How's the lower belt surviving the coronation of the governess? No roads fixed up here yet, although I've forwarded a sample of my mother-in-law's mashed potato's to MDOT for use in filling potholes.
What the hell is soccer?
At least my reps are going to give her hell. It's nice being in Livingston County.
I was about to give the UP (Marquette specifically) some hell for voting for Granholm, but I shouldn't complain too much. Bart Stupak's wife lost and Shackleton won again.
