Tottenham Hotspur’s badge shows a slim navy cockerel standing proudly on top of a classic football, a minimalist emblem introduced in 2006 that refined the club’s long-standing “cockerel and ball” symbol into a sleeker modern mark.

The bird refers to Sir Henry “Harry Hotspur” Percy, the medieval knight whose name the club adopted and who was associated with fighting cocks fitted with spurs, a link that also explains the “Spurs” nickname.

A bronze cockerel on a ball was first mounted above the West Stand at White Hart Lane in 1909, cementing the image as the club’s defining symbol. Earlier shirt crests often placed the bird inside a heraldic shield with local landmarks and the Latin motto Audere est Facere (“To dare is to do”), but the current design strips everything back to the essential silhouette that most fans now associate with Spurs.
