THE CLUB CREST The club crest is based on the coat of arms
of Huddersfield. The club main colours (blue and white) are evident
throughout the badge both in the foliage and in the shield, in the form
stripes. Two Yorkshire white roses and Victoria Tower perched on Castle Hill (overlooking Huddersfield and completed in 1899 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubliee of 1897)
form part of the history of the club and the area. The Yorkshire Terrier sits proudly
on top of the crest with a ball on a blanket of blue and white stripes. The
black chevron is said to represent the River Colne, yet another feature of the local area. The badge was designed and launched for the
start of the 1970/1971 season and replaced the former badge that was the
Huddersfield coat of arms. The Terriers was introduced to the badge shortly
after "The Terriers" was adopted as the nickname and mascot of the
club. Town first used a badge on their shirts for
the 1920 FA Cup final based on the local Huddersfield
Corporation Coat of Arms and it appeared again with a Yorkshire rose appearing
with in for the 1922 FA Cup final and again for the finals of 1928, 1930 and
1938. The heraldic arms design is based on the design of the Ramsden Family
shield, the family which owned the land where the town of Huddersfield stands
today. The Borough Council adopted this design and created the Coat of Arms
for the town (see Huddersfield
Corporation Coat of Arms) which Town adapted for their club badge design in the
1970's. The next badge did not feature until
1966/1967 when simple "HTFC" donned the Town's all blue shirts.
When the club adopted the nickname 'The Terriers' for the 1969/1970 the blue
and white stripes returned and with it a red terrier with the words "The
Terriers" appeared on the famous Town shirts. After relegation from the top flight Town
returned to all blue shirts and the return of simply "HTFC" and
this lasted from 1975-1977. Stripes returned from the 1977 season and the red
Terrier returned to the shirt for the 1978/1979 season. In 1980 Town adopted what remains their
badge today based on the coat of arms of Huddersfield. This is both the club
crest and playing shirt badge and is held in high esteem by Town fans. In 2000, Town changed badge to a circular
design, but that was never popular and following a change of board, returned
to the heraldic-style crest. The badge was further redeveloped with a
small but significant adaptation in February 2005. The club took the decision
to remove 'AFC' from the text leaving only the wording 'Huddersfield Town'.
The current board said that this was in keeping with the time and to make
merchandise easier to produce and to make slicker looking promotional
material. A further development of the badge took
place for the Centenary Season as the heraldic-style crest placed into a
shield with three stars (signifying the triple championship of the 1920's)
placed above the shield (this is the right side graphic below).
