The similarity between the two badges has sparked a heated debate, with some fans accusing Wrexham of copying Leyton Orient's design. The League One club, however, has responded with a witty meme, referencing a famous Roy Hodgson image.

The controversy surrounding Wrexham's third kit badge stems from the fact that Leyton Orient's badge was designed in a competition held in the Walthamstow Guardian newspaper in 1976. Wrexham, on the other hand, has been using a crest with two dragons and a football between them since 1973, which was also designed through a fan competition.

This has led some to point out that Wrexham actually got there first, with their crest predating Leyton Orient's by three years. The Welsh club's aggressive transfer market activity this summer, which has seen them sign five new players, including Anthony Patterson from Sunderland for £8million, has also been highlighted as a factor in their recent success.

Wrexham have drawn their opening two Championship games of the season and face Birmingham on Friday night, with commentary live on talkSPORT2.
