Newcastle United is offering a ceramic poppy attached to a club badge so football fans can support the Royal British Legion. The club’s current and perhaps most famous crest – synonymous with the Entertainers Era of the mid-nineties – was created in 1988. Our shirts first had the city's Coat of Arms emblazoned on them as early as 1911, but it was in 1969 that the club finally adopted it as an official emblem.

A new name for this stronger, unified club was chosen and ‘Newcastle United’ was officially recognised that same year on 9th December.Sunday’s pre-match activities are an opportunity for us and our supporters to pay our respects for lives lost, and to those who have served in battle.

Holy Island and Seahouses, The Poppy Appeal will be collecting inside the stadium, with the post-match festivities include a rugby game between the 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery and 4th Regiment Royal Artillery on the main field at 5.15pm. On the crest section, a demi lion sits atop the city’s historic Castle Keep and flies the swallow-tailed pennon of the Arms of Saint George – the country’s patron saint. Newcastle United celebrated its 125th anniversary during the 2017/18 season and a special commemorative crest was commissioned as part of the club's celebrations.

It heralded the return of the overall shape and several elements from the city’s Coat of Arms, namely the supporting seahorses, castle, demi lion and an amended pennon.

The badges are only available in the store but they are not the only way Newcastle is supporting the Legion. The Poppy Appeal will be inside the stadium collecting for what we all know is a fantastic cause, and it is only appropriate we continue to take such an active part in supporting our armed forces.”

Circular in shape and with a bold simplicity, it contained only the letters ‘NUFC’, with the solitary magpie retaining a presence in the opening of the upturned ‘C’. The gold and silver design was based on the Magpies’ existing crest and a golden adornment was added to signify the milestone year.

The Coat of Arms also features the city’s Latin motto, Fortiter Defendit Triumphans – ‘Triumphing by Brave Defence’ – adopted following a brave and stubborn resistance against the Scots in 1644. The home of Newcastle United will host the military dinner on March 2 next year in aid of the Royal British Legion that provides lifelong support for the armed forces community.

Originating in the fourteenth century and formally recognised in 1954, Newcastle upon Tyne’s Coat of Arms is a depiction of the city’s history – with its Norman-era castle and two seahorses (added in 1575) to signify seafaring heritage. Despite having a shelf life of only five years, the club’s next crest remains somewhat of a cult classic. We take a look at our crests over the years, what they consist of and what their individual components signify.
