 Eastern Suburbs did not traditionally sport a crest on their jerseys in the first half of the 20th century . Other clubs occasionally sported simple designs on their strip ; however , this was not seen consistently on all jerseys until the 1950s and 1960s . In 1967 , the club introduced the first logo , displaying the motto " Easts to Win " , following a winless season . The crest also incorporated a rooster or cockerel in the design ; one source suggested that this choice of mascot followed after the Roosters ' jersey design was inspired by the French national team 's jersey . Given that the French team 's mascot was affectionately known to supporters as le coq , " the rooster " , connections have been made as to the choosing of a rooster for Eastern Suburbs ' mascot .
