I always thought of the two different kinds of lion crests (blue field with gold lion and gold field with blue lion) as two different orders of knights serving the same cause (Like the knights hospitaller and templar during the crusades)
I don't think we can apply this example to Lions. The Crest is too much similar. Only the family links can make it possible. Blue-Yellow, Yellow-Blue with the same Crest. That's almost the same.

I studied a bit in heraldry in french royal Capetian family (987-1328). The Crest of France, is obviously the lys flower(most of the time yellow or white lys on blue field). So each members of this family has it's own variation of the same crest. Sometime it was a change in color, sometime it was an addition, sometime it was a motif change. Not only France do that. Subsequent dynasty too.

Kind of like the Black Falcons Dave? Blue shields....grey shields.......yellow shields.......?

That's kind of the same thing for Black Falcons, Dan. But the gray shield could not be consider as a crest. It's only a metal round shield, without crest.

Lions had one on 6039, Forestmen had one on 1877 and Black Falcons on 6030. So it's not a faction shield. It's a ordinary metal shield.
