The club use the towns coat of arms as its crest, which date back to Confederation of the Cinque Ports and is believed to date from the 13th century. The crest is very similar to the crest of Hastings United, who also use their towns coat of arms, however there is a slight variation between the two.

Colours and words that are unknown to man,
To paint the visionary dreariness”

“What shall he have that killed the deer?
His leather skin and horns to wear.
Then sing him home.
Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
It was a crest ere thou wast born;
Thy father’s father wore it,
And thy father bore it.
The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
