===Logos=== St Kilda has used multiple different logos since it was formed in 1873. Prior to 1976, no clubs in the VFL used logos in an official capacity. Many early club logos were printed in the same shield design frame and had each club's individual colours, name and design in them. St Kilda used a consistent design in the 1970s and 1980s, featuring a stick figure bearing a halo, holding the competition's logo.<ref name=Logo>{{cite web |title=St.Kilda Logos|url=http://footyjumpers.com/stkildalogos.htm |website=footyjumpers.com |access-date=23 October 2021}}</ref> In 1989, just prior to the league officially becoming the AFL, the club used a logo with a red white and black vertically striped design with the goal and behind posts on it, with a stick figure attempting a mark on it with a halo above its head, with the league logo and the club crest on top of either behind post. The VFL league logo was replaced with the AFL logo when the competition changed names in 1990.<ref name=Logo/> The St Kilda Football Club crest first appeared officially on the jumper in 1933, after existing at the club for quite some time beforehand in basic design form. The crest became an iconic feature of the club's jumper β a well-known and recognisable symbol of the club. The crest also includes the club's motto, ''Fortius Quo Fidelius'', which is usually translated as "Strength through Loyalty".<ref>{{cite web |title=The Crest: Our Badge of Honour |url=https://www.saints.com.au/club/history/the-crest |website=saints.com.au |access-date=23 October 2021 |language=en}}</ref> As with the nickname "Saints", the club crest has no religious associations. A logo change before the start of the 1995 season saw the club make the decision to use the official club crest as the club's official logo in the league.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jefferson |first1=Andrew |title=Take a closer look at the best and worst AFL logos |url=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victoria/take-a-closer-look-at-the-best-and-worst-afl-logos/news-story/f43029696594848343c94de0d840c33b |access-date=23 October 2021 |language=en-AU |work=The Herald Sun|url-access=subscription}}</ref> The club changed their logo at the end of the 2024 season to a more modern update of the 1995 logo, this new logo removed the club's motto "''Fortius Quo Fidelius".''
