Editing West Ham United F.C. (section)

===Iterations===
The crest was redesigned and updated in the late 1990s, featuring a wider yellow castle with fewer cruciform "windows" along with the peaked roofs being removed; the tops of the towers had previously made the castle appear more akin to [[Disneyland Park (Anaheim)|Disneyland]]'s Sleeping Beauty's Castle than a functioning fortress. The designer also altered other details to give a more substantial feel to the iconography.<ref>{{Cite web |title=West Ham |url=http://premierskills.britishcouncil.org/the-clubs/west-ham |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100405014018/http://premierskills.britishcouncil.org/the-clubs/west-ham |archive-date=5 April 2010 |access-date=3 October 2013 |publisher=premierskills}}</ref>

When the club rebuilt the west stand of the [[Boleyn Ground]] (construction finished 2001–02) the "castle" from the redesigned badge was incorporated into the structure at the main entrance to the ground. A pair of towers were prominent features of the ground's appearance, both bearing large club badges.<ref>{{Cite web |title=West Ham |url=http://www.footballbadgesguide.com/West%20Ham.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004212837/http://www.footballbadgesguide.com/West%20Ham.html |archive-date=4 October 2013 |access-date=3 October 2013 |publisher=Footballbadgesguide}}</ref>

A new badge was introduced following the end of the [[2015–16 West Ham United F.C. season|2015–16 season]], when the club moved into the [[London Stadium|Olympic Stadium]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=17 July 2014 |title=West Ham: Hammers fans vote in favour of new club crest |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28261889 |access-date=17 July 2014}}</ref> It removes the Boleyn Castle due to the club moving away, leaving just the crossed hammers, which the club says is inspired by the crest before and during the career of [[Bobby Moore]]. The word "London" was introduced below to "establish the club firmly on the international stage", and the more minimalist approach is to give a "strong statement that is instantly West Ham United". The shape of the crest is that of the [[Hull (watercraft)|hull]] of {{HMS|Warrior|1860|6}}, the first [[ironclad warship]] in the [[Royal Navy]], which was built by [[Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company|Thames Ironworks]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=We will always be West Ham United |url=http://www.whufc.com/staticFiles/c2/c2/0,,12562~180930,00.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140726193724/http://www.whufc.com/staticFiles/c2/c2/0%2C%2C12562~180930%2C00.pdf |archive-date=26 July 2014 |access-date=19 July 2014 |publisher=West Ham United F.C.}}</ref>
