This is absolute genius from the club official Twitter account:

And to be fair to the Leeds fans, they seem to have taken it in good spirit.

Excellent!

I don’t get it.

Would someone please be kind to an old man and explain this tweet to me please.  I understand that it's to do with a Play Station game but that's where I hit the wall.  Sorry for my geriatric stupidity.

In Pro Evolution Soccer, because they don't have proper licensing for British football, they have to make up names for players and teams, and also badges.  I haven't played it in donkey's years but I recall Villa were known as West Midlands Village and presumably Leeds were Yorkshire Whites.

The better together reference is a Brexit play obviously indicating the err slightly right wing nature of the new Leeds badge

In pro evo (a football video game like FIFA) they have made up teams. We are West Midlands Village, Leeds are Yorkshire Whites. So they put the new badge next to the Pro Evo West Midlands Village one indicating it looks more like it was made up for a video game than a real thing.

It shows someone in our media department is culturally on point.

As an aside I have always liked the West Midlands Village double unicorn badge

Unicorns and white supremacy - surely they should have used a pro-Brexit slogan to fit in, rather than a Remain one?

I dont think they wanted to piss off anyone in the Brexit debate on either side. Which is understandable. This one is a bit more obviously making gentle fun rather than a harsher joke.

Thanks very much, now I get it.

[Villa in Denmark]

Already more action in the first 10 minutes than the whole 1st  leg in the Arsenal v Chelsea semi.

[PeterWithe]

Looks like something Mussolini would have come up with.

[sickbeggar]

[olaftab]

I don’t get it.

I know same here. Best to stick to late night TV or a good book.

I had Chelsea to win 2-1 tonight. That will teach me to break my own self imposed rules and bet on correct scores for the second night running.
