Arsenal Football Club was founded in 1886 (originally Dial Square/Royal Arsenal in Woolwich). The cannon has been a long-standing element reflecting the club's munitions origins; the current simplified crest with the stylised cannon and 'Arsenal' wordmark was introduced as part of a rebrand in the early 2000s.
