"Westminster City Council apologized for the improper use of Millwall's logo and acknowledged that the image was an insensitive way to illustrate the historic problem of racism within football."
"Millwall stated that the serious misuse of a registered club badge created a false and damaging image of the club, and they are still considering their legal position on the matter."
Westminster City Council used Millwall's badge inappropriately in a children's anti-racism booklet featuring a Ku Klux Klan member illustration. The image was part of a publication about Paul Canoville, the first black player for Chelsea. The council apologized for the misuse and removed the booklet from circulation. Millwall expressed concern over the damaging portrayal of the club and is contemplating legal action. The Paul Canoville Foundation clarified it had no involvement in the booklet's content or production.
