Wrexham Retro Football Polo Shirt 1960s & 1970s

Badge History

Did you know that the early years of the club saw no official badge?  But like many teams of the time, they were known to sport the local coat of arms. The Maelor Crest, featured a lion in a central shield (known in heraldry as in an ‘en passant’ or ‘walking forwards’ position), flanked by two red dragons with a third sitting atop.

It was another 100 years, in the late 1960s, that an embroidered crest was seen on the players shirts throughout the season, for the first time. Again it was the insignia of the local area, another incarnation of the Wrexham Borough heraldry, with a golden shield, an ermine dotted backdrop, two lions and the familiar red dragon in ascendancy
