Preston North End’s badge is a white shield with a blue border, featuring a reclining paschal lamb with a halo and flag above the dark-blue initials “PP,” all framed by banners carrying the club name and “Established 1880.” The lamb is taken directly from Preston’s civic coat of arms and represents the Lamb of St Wilfrid, the city’s patron saint, a long-standing religious emblem of Christ.

The “PP” beneath is generally read as the Latin Princeps Pacis (“Prince of Peace”), another title of Christ, though locals also like to interpret it as “Proud Preston,” echoing the city’s nickname.

Variations of this lamb-and-PP device have appeared on club crests since the early 20th century, occasionally accompanied by red Lancashire roses, but the current, cleaner shield keeps the focus firmly on the religious and civic symbol that has defined Preston’s identity for more than a century.
