Why the elephant??? :?

Darn I was curious too...

AC Milan have St. George's cross because they were founded by Englishman. Barcelona have St. George's cross because St. George is the patron saint of Catalunya IIRC. Coventry I don't know.

Oh, and hi everyone >=)

Both AC Milan and Barcelona are founded by Englishmen, as with pretty much every foreign crest with a St. Georges cross.

Coventry: Must have something to do with Elephant and Castle, and the two animals on either side maybe part of the Coventry insignia.

Wrong. Barcelona were founded by a Swiss businessman named Hans Kamper, and I already said why they have St. George on there.
