<P> The shirts worn by players of Ipswich Town did not sport a crest until the mid-1960s, when they adopted a design featuring a gold lion rampant guardant on a red background on the left half and three gold ramparts on a blue background on the right half . In 1972, the crest was redesigned as the result of a competition, won by the Treasurer of the Supporters Club, John Gammage . Each element of the new design was intended to represent the region . </P> <P> I regarded the Suffolk Punch as a noble animal, well suited to dominate our design and represent the club . And to complete the badge I thought of the town of Ipswich which contains many historical buildings, including the Wolsey Gate, and is close to the sea with a large dock area . </P> <P> The crest was modified in 1995 after consultation with a Supporters Forum, with the turrets of the Wolsey Gate moved to the top of the crest, the yellow background changed to red, the Suffolk Punch given a more dominant physique and the F.C. expanded to Football Club . Three stars were added to the sleeve of the team's away shirt for the 2004--05 season, and also to the home kit for the 2005--06 season . These stars were added to represent the three major trophies which Ipswich Town have won; the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup and the old Division One . The stars were relocated directly above the crest when the shirt was redesigned prior to the 2007--08 season . </P> <P> In 2006, the club donated 500 orange and blue - and - white shirts to children in Iraq . </P>
