The coat of arms is displayed high on the wall of the stand at the club's Brisbane Road ground facing Oliver Road. The club can trace its origin to 1881 but became 'Orient' in 1888, apparently at the suggestion of a player who worked for the Orient Shipping Line. It moved to its present home in Leyton in 1937.
