As you might expect the emblem has many associations with Kendal and shoemaking.The two red crosses surmounting the shield are a symbol of St Crispin who is widely believed to be patron saint of shoemakers. (Some others name St Hugh.) The top left quadrant shows Kendal town's colours. In the top right quadrant there is a 'skiving blade' which is used to trim leather to the correct thickness for a joint. Bottom left is a representation of Kendal Castle. Bottom right the stripes were originally two silver bands and one blue band and these were the colours of the old Netherfield Cricket Club. This emblem is also used by Kendal Cricket Club and Kendal Football Club.
