The 'old' Crest

The badge of the national rugby league team of England is a combination of St. George's cross, the Three Lions Coat of Arms of England and Tudor Rose. The St. George's cross, the national flag of England is a red cross on a white background, it was adopted for the uniform of English soldiers during Crusades of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries and in or about 1277 is when it officially became the national flag of England. However with the 1707 Act of Union, the Kingdom of Great Britain was recognised and a Union Flag was created. The flag of England is used now to represent England alone. The English coat of arms was introduced by Richard I of England in the 1190s. The rose on the badge is the Tudor rose, which was introduced by Henry Tudor, who ended the War of the Roses, between Lancashire (red rose) and Yorkshire (white rose), this action was symbolic of the end of the War of the Roses. These motifs are reoccurring in most English sporting badges, such as the England national football team, England national rugby union team and the English national cricket team which all promote similar attributes.
