Notts County’s badge is a black, white and gold shield with “Notts County FC” at the top, two magpies above a football, the year 1862, and black-and-white vertical stripes at the bottom.
The two magpies are the badge’s central symbol. Notts County adopted black-and-white striped shirts in 1890, which led to the club’s “Magpies” nickname; black and white have remained the club’s colours almost continuously since then.
The 1862 date reflects Notts County’s traditional foundation year and its status as the world’s oldest professional football club, a point also used in the club’s own retail and supporter messaging.
The crest history has moved between single-magpie, civic and initials-based designs, but two magpies have been the normal badge theme since 1986, with the current badge adopted in 2010. The modern version keeps the identity clear: two magpies, a football, the 1862 date, and the black-and-white stripes that define Notts County visually.
