Berkhamsted Football Club has unveiled its new crest.

The club, which was formed earlier this year, has revealed a badge designed to represent the new team's philosophy of co-operation and community.

The crest (pictured) depicts two hands joined together, and incorporates the town's traditional colours of blue and gold.

The badge was designed by an anonymous benefactor who decided to help the club after reading about its launch on the internet.

The club, nicknamed The Comrades, has relied on support from local individuals and businesses to get its players onto the pitch.

The designer said: "It seems as if the club is really trying to represent Berkhamsted as a town and all its residents and groups. I didn't think there was much chance of getting a game, but wanted to help out as much as I could.

"Hopefully, the deign will help inspire the players to win a few games for Berko next year."

Ben

Terry, chairman of Berkhamsted FC, added: "We're really pleased with

the new design, which we feel really represents the Comrades' ethos.

Yet again, we have been helped out by someone wanting to donate their

skills to the club and are continually grateful to the designer and

everyone else who has contributed to getting the Comrades on our feet.

"We conidered

a number of designs, some modern, some traditional, but felt that the

two hands shaking really represented how we want the club to function.

In combination with the historic colours

of our wonderful town we think the crest can really act as a visual

rallying point for those involved on and off the pitch in the

forthcoming sessions."

Berkhamsted FC is currently looking for new players to join the team.
