West Ham United – new logo
I’ve stripped out West Ham’s castle but kept the hammers and the colour scheme. Many of West Ham’s past crests have also placed a large focus on the pair of hammers that today might be described as a hipster cross.
You can see West Ham’s current crest on Wikipedia.
You can read about West Ham’s crests over the years on Historical Kits.
In 1958 The Hammers won the Second Division championship in the season that the young Bobby Moore made his debut. Three years later Ron Greenwood became manager and West Ham’s golden age began. In 1964 they won the FA Cup for the first time, beating Preston North End 3-2. A year later they were back at Wembley in the European Cup Winners’ Cup final, defeating TSV Munich 1860 2-0. The crests worn in these important matches added Boleyn Castle, a local landmark, to the crossed hammers.
