Current QPR crest design - stolen?

[Kirill]

Made a strange discovery the other day :

That's uncanny.

[qpr]

That's a great find

[Nodge70]

That is a little bit un-nerving!

Is there any heraldic research available on that one Kirill?

[Wrighty]

Will post a pic of the Wright family coat of arms when back from work, very similar aswell!

[Rsonist]

Seems about right... the motto under it translates as "Christ is my hope"

[80sCasual]

Seems about right... the motto under it translates as "Christ is my hope"

At the mo in our case it should be 'No hope'

[JeanD]

The badge is taken from Briatore's 'Billionnaires' branding, in my view. It was on QPR Report's website a while back and the resemblance is clear for all to see.
And the motto translates as 'Fark me, did we just sign someone?'.

[RussRanger]

I knew there was something missing from our crest...

Jeez, no Latin, what an oversight.

isn't it based on the Hammersmith Borough crest? Can be seen opposite charing cross hospital on the fulham palace road

[Kirill]

Oh well, some medieval pedigree can't be bad
