A Scottish football team has been left bewildered after noticing that Elon Musk's SpaceX appears to have swiped their badge design for a new logo.
Haddington Town currently play their football in the Lothian and Edinburgh Amateur Football Association (LEAFA) Premiership. The club, based in Haddington, East Lothian, have the white outline of a goat in front of a thin white crescent as pride of place on their unique logo, framed on a black background.
However, a recent image appears to indicate that multi-billionaire Musk has elected for a new, near-identical logo for his astronautics company. The club were made aware of the identical imagery following an image shared on social media earlier this week, accompanied by the caption: "SpaceX...the GOAT in space travel."
The image shows what appears to be the side of a building or construction at Musk's SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. On the structure is printed a white outline of a goat with a thin, white crescent moon behind it, and the existing SpaceX 'X' logo beside it.
Haddington Town were quick to comment tongue-in-cheek about their badge being taken by the 52-year-old. The team posted on social media on Thursday writing: "Why has Elon Musk stole our badge - give it back." Their post received dozens of likes and comments from social media users, with some suggesting the club sue for copyright.
The new SpaceX logo is an almost carbon-copy of Haddington Town's club crest

One said: "Get them done for copyright." Another added: "Haddy is massive." A third replied: "Massive club." Another retorted: "Sue them."
Haddington's X (formerly Twitter) admin made light of the news by pretending that they were bringing Musk on in an official capacity, writing: "I guess the cat is out of the back! We can officially announce after the #SpaceX teaser that @elonmusk has joined the Goats! You guys were too quick to spot our badge. The club are delighted to have Elon on board, the big man can’t wait to get started."
The Goats couldn't find a way past Firhill Thistle in their latest match in the LEAFA Premiership. The team took their first point of the season and will be hoping to build on the result going forward.
