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 Castle Hill form part of the history of the club and the area. The terrier sits proudly on top of the crest with a ball on a blanket of blue and white stripes.

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 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.
