Once were Biscuitmen Fantastic series of threads!
Random question, did Reading FC have an original Latin motto? Sure I have seen it under an old crest...

Ablative case in Latin is normally translated as "by", "with" or "from". If they meant "for" they would have used the dative case. (Happy to be corrected by anyone who studied Latin more recently than me.)
Even if there had been no other reason, the club would have certainly stopped using the town coat of arms at some stage because it can't be copyrighted, thus opening up the replica shirt market to unscrupulous cockney traders like we've seen around town in recent weeks.

That would have been the town's coat of arms. A Deo Et Regina roughly translates into "From God and The Queen"
