What the Marist Sports Club's Crest Means
At the top of the monogram is the official Marist emblem which signifies our affiliation and loyalty to the Marist Brothers. The Marist Brothers began teaching in Palmerston North in 1939. This emblem is surrounded by 12 stars representing the 12 apostles.

• The three red Maltese crosses at the top of the monogram represent the cardinal virtues of FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY.
  
• The colours of our club - green and white - shown at the top left and lower right of the monogram.
  
• At the top right and lower left is a golden crown over a book and tools (pick, axe, and shovel) on a blue background showing that all work is crowned by glory. The book represents the professional man and the tools the tradesman.
  
• The white cross in the centre, on the green background represents Christ - in the centre of all things, as He should be.
