Yeah, but bullshit. First the "left" side isn't "east" until you take in account that it's actually the "right" side of the person wearing the device on their uniform. The simplest solution is actually that heraldry is the basis for logo design and especially the logo design of sporting teams. Australian national sporting teams often have the national coat of arms on their uniform. And the England football side uses the three lions passant guardant from the royal arms of the English crown! and which way do you think they face?
The simplest solution is that the facing toward the right shoulder of the bearer (left to the viewer) is the 'normal' way to represent these things.
The Rabbit, courant, faces 'east'
The Sea Eagle, displayed and elevated, faces 'east'.
The Eel, regardant, turns its head to the 'east'
The Bulldog, statant and gardant, faces 'east' (only slightly)
St.George, rampant, faces 'east' and his dragon, rampant, also faces 'east' (this particular team logo should impress upon you how much based on heraldry these things are!).
The Knight's helm, couped, faces 'east'
The Titan, the Tiger, the Warrior, the Cowboy, the Panther and the Viking Raider are all gardant, (facing the viewer). The Tiger is salient gardant.
Only the Bronco, the Shark, and the Storm God face sinistre.
The Shark is embowed sinistre.
All of this east-facing can only mean ONE thing: EASTS TO WIN
This is the most geniused piece of shit I've ever read. What is it with roosters fans turning to impress people with their Wikipedia gained knowledge? Absolute garbage.
