Blackpool FC’s badge uses the town’s coat of arms, placed inside a football-club layout with “Blackpool Football Club” around it. The central arms include orange-and-black waves, a flying seagull, a red rose, windmill sails, heraldic animals and the motto “Progress.”
The seaside symbolism is direct: the black wavy bars represent the sea at Blackpool, the gold/orange bars refer to the town’s bright sands, and the seagull marks Blackpool as a coastal resort. The windmill sails above the shield are linked to the Fylde area, while the red rose represents Lancashire.
The motto “Progress” comes from the civic coat of arms, granted in 1899, and the club has used the town arms as part of its badge identity for much of its history. Blackpool FC itself was founded in 1887, while the orange colour became the club’s defining football identity, giving rise to the “Tangerines” nickname.
