 The main club badge should be distinguished from the badge displayed on the first team strip , as the two have rarely coincided . No badge appeared on the kit for most of the club 's history , although the Stafford knot featured on the team jerseys for part of the 1880s . The West Bromwich town arms were worn on the players ' shirts for the 1931 , 1935 and 1954 FA Cup finals . The town 's Latin motto , Labor omnia vincit , translates as " labour conquers all things " or " work conquers all " . The town arms were revived as the shirt badge from 1994 until 2000 , with the throstle moved to the collar of the shirts .
