There appear to have been some significant changes to the club crest. The ship's sail no longer bears the symbolic Welsh red and yellow quarters that are synonymous with Connah's Quay and the victory shield has been replaced with a lifebelt. Is there any significance to the animal depicted?

Hi
We needed a club crest that we could copywrite . We had to make significant changes to allow for easier production of souveniers and letter heads. I wanted a version of the flag of St David, unfortunatly in B/W this would have been the flag of Cornwall. The problem is a parasite club that seems to want to cause us as many problems as it can. We had no rights over the Town crest and certainly couldnt prevent them from using it too.

Thanks, but what then is it that is depicted on the sail, and why?

As you will no doubt be aware , the charge upon our device is in fact a lion Rampant . The lion is a common charge in heraldry. It traditionally symbolises bravery, valour, strength, and royalty, since traditionally, it is regarded as the king of beasts. In rampant position it signifies ready to give fight.
We have not registered this as a coat of Arms with the college of Heralds but rather as a trademark under the terms of the copyright law.

It (the lion rampant) is coincidentally the same symbol as used by Queens Park High School (Chester) on their uniform. The red and yellow quarters appear on the sail in the Connah's Quay Town Council crest, and that of CQHS. Thanks for the clarification.
