Wigan Athletic’s badge is a blue-and-white roundel with the club name around the outside, a central shield, two small footballs, the foundation year 1932, and the famous tree-and-crown symbol in the middle.
The tree-and-crown is the key identity. The tree is the Wiggin Tree, a local name for the mountain ash or rowan tree, used as a visual pun on Wigan. The crown is a fleur-de-lis crown linked to the Plantagenets and appears in the town’s heraldic tradition.
The current badge keeps the older “Tree and Crown” crest tradition inside a cleaner football-club roundel. Wigan’s official site still refers to the symbol as the famous Tree and Crown, and the club protects “Tree and Crown” as part of its brand identity.
The 1932 date marks the foundation of Wigan Athletic, formed after earlier football clubs in the town had folded. The blue and white reflect the club’s long-standing colours, while the central tree-and-crown keeps the badge tied directly to Wigan’s local heraldry and town identity.
