Stockport County’s badge is a blue-and-white circular crest with “Stockport County FC” around the ring, the split foundation year “18 / 83,” and a central civic coat-of-arms shield with two lions, a castle, a football and gold heraldic details.
The badge is based on the Stockport coat of arms. The blue shield comes from the de Stokeport family, the twin-towered castle represents the old Stockport Castle, and the gold border historically includes Cheshire wheatsheaves and de Eton double-headed eagles.
The two lions come from the later civic arms and reinforce the badge’s heraldic structure. Stockport County’s older crests have repeatedly used versions of the town arms, with the club moving between civic-style badges, simpler symbols and the modern roundel.
The 1883 date marks the club’s foundation as Heaton Norris Rovers, before it became Stockport County in 1890. The club’s “Hatters” nickname comes from Stockport’s former hat-making industry, while blue and white have been the club’s main colours since 1914.
