Why do many English national sports teams have three lions on the shirt?

By admin · September 16, 2009 · Filed in British Lions

What like three kebabs?

It is the symbol of England,it can be seen on the Royal Flag and Royal Coat of Arms, It has always been the emblem of England and not,as some detractors state,one that was stolen from the french.
