Splitting hairs, that is simply wrong. If anything, it is a play on words with Berglöwe vs. Löwe aus dem Bergischen, aka mountain lion vs. lion from the Bergisches Land (see above).
So there. ;)

That would be somewhat hard. Take the Wikipedia article:The Bergisches Land is a region in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. It contains beside the tri-city area of Remscheid-Solingen-Wuppertal the district Mettmann, Leverkusen, the Rheinisch-Bergisch district, the Oberbergisch district and parts of the Rhein-Sieg district. It emerged from the Dukedom of Berg. The name of the region is not derived from its mountainous terrain (German: Berg, mountain), but from the dukes of Berg.Now, the Dukedom of Berg has a lion in its coat of arms: Image:Bergischer Loewe.svg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, thank you for asking. I think all parties involved may have been wrong, myself obviously included :)
People...let's not forget the "lion's brew"!:nj
