Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This was the crest of Arsenal Football Club from c. 1949 to 2002, it has variations in the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2002, the club replaced the crest, stating in a press release:
"Principally, as the current crest incorporates many separate elements, which have been introduced over a number of years, there is uncertainty surrounding its exact origination. As a consequence, the Club is unable to copyright this crest."

The release is no longer available on the club website but an Internet Archive copy of it is here: [1]. Another copy is here: [2] (link now dead: Internet Archive copy here: [3]. A BBC news story on the new crest is available here: [4]

Since the club has admitted the crest is ineligible for copyright, it has been given the {{Insignia}} image tag.
