About the logo:
The New Saints F.C. (TNS) was formed from a merger between Total Network Solutions (T.N.S.) FC (previously Llansantffraid FC) and Oswestry Town F.c. in 2003. The club has proved a force to be reckoned with, topping the Welsh Premier League for three years post merger. Both clubs also continue to operate under their own banners at lower levels of competition.
After the sponsorship by Total Network Solutions recently taken over by British Telecom lapsed in 2006 and an unsuccessful auction of the club's naming rights on eBay failed to reach reserve a new name for the club was required. "The New Saints" was agreed upon as appropriate to the clubs history — Llansantffraid was always known as "The Saints", while Oswestry had strong connections with Saint Oswald, while handily retaining the initials "TNS".
The new TNS crest/badge was developed at the same time and is an amalgam of the symbols and names of the former Llansantffraid and Oswestry Town football club. A dragon represents Llansantffraid and a lion Oswestry.
