 Luton Town have traditionally used the town 's crest as its own in a manner similar to many other teams . The club 's first badge was a white eight @-@ pointed star , which was emblazoned across the team 's shirts ( then a deep cochineal red ) in 1892 . Four years later a crest comprising the club 's initials intertwined was briefly adopted . The shirts were thereafter plain until 1933 , when Luton first adopted a badge depicting a straw boater , which appeared on Luton shirts . The letters " LTFC " were added in 1935 , and this basic design remained until 1947 . The club then played without a badge until 1970 , when the club began to wear the town crest regularly , having first done so in the 1959 FA Cup Final .
