🏉 BEHIND THE CREST | More Than a Logo
You’ve seen the crest.
But do you know what it means?
The Cruisers coat of arms wasn’t created just to look good on a jersey. Every piece tells part of the story of who this club was built to represent.
🦁 THE LION
Bravery. Courage. Leadership.
🪖 THE BATTLE HELMET
A connection to those who came before us and the history we carry forward.
🛡️ THE SHIELD
Staunch defense. Standing your ground and protecting the people beside you.
⭐ THE THREE STARS
The paths of our travels—the places we’ve been and the journeys that have shaped this club.
⚔️ THE CROSSED BARS
Our colors. A symbol carried together by everyone who has worn the crest.
⬛ THE BLACK
Described in the original coat of arms as “our unknown spirit’s lair.” The part of a club that’s harder to put into words—the fight, loyalty, grit and connection you understand once you’ve been part of it.
For generations, people have come through Columbus and Fort Benning, stepped onto the pitch, worn this crest and eventually continued on to wherever life took them next.
The names change. The players change.
The crest remains.
Over the next few weeks, we’re going Behind the Crest to tell the story of each piece—and what those values still mean to Columbus Rugby today.
Because this has always been about more than a game.
🏉 One Club. One Community.
