Arsenal Football Club

Victoria Concordia Crescit. This is the official motto of the Arsenal Football Club, and the motto translates to "Victory Grows Through Harmony." The motto was long believed to "be the brainchild of the former editor of the Arsenal program, Harry Homer", but the origin of the motto came much earlier. Woolwich Arsenal moved from Plumstead to Highbury during 1913 because of a disastorus performance that occurred in Plumstead. Woolwich started in the second division in Highbury and had started winning many games. Woolwich had an amazing start, especially the game against HullCity. "The directors attributed this success to 'concord' within the club and the Latin motto 'Victoria Concordia Crescit' was mentioned for the first time."
