No welsh badge on last years kits?

The welsh badge was taken off the kit last season if i remember correctly, so if it showed a 'fusion' of cultures why take it off. So now the dragon returns but in the badge strange...

If I remember rightly... I think there was some sort of rule that we could not have the Welsh flag on our kit because we play in an English league or something along those lines. Don't overthink it.

It was taken off because FIFA Statutes forbid national flags on club shirts. The Football League therefore banned them nothing to do with the club.
