Title: GPA Logo

I was a bit surprised at the GPA logo when I saw it the last day.

The colours struck me straight away, blue red and white...

Not only does it resemble something from American sports associations like the NBA;
but the colours are a particular grievance as they are the same colours as the Union Jack !

Could they not have something mildly patriotic and use hint of green?

Do you think it we tipped them off, they would do Dessie and the boys for copyright infringement?

Jaysus, you'd think that if they were going to plagiarise the concept they'd at least have had the wit to change the colour scheme
