ALT Emirates FA Cup graphic explaining the Port Vale crest: a black and white quartered shield with a football at the centre, framed by laurel leaves and topped with a gold knot, above the year 1876. Five labelled sections read: “The Shield Design: The core shield design is derived from the old Burslem coat of arms, reflecting the town in Stoke-on-Trent where the club is based.” “The Staffordshire Knot: A traditional symbol of the county of Staffordshire.” “The Scythe: An agricultural hand tool for mowing grass or harvesting crops, representing the town of Tunstall.” “The Fretted Cross: Comes from the historic coat of arms of the Audley family, also known as the Audley Cross.” “The Pots: Symbolise the local pottery industry tied to Josiah Wedgwood’s towns of Burslem and Etruria.”
