Vasco's first coat of arms was created in 1903. It was round, with a black background, with the caravel in the center. On the black background, the initials C and R, plus Vasco da Gama, separated by 6 crosses of Christ. Only in the 1920s did the club adopt the current shield. Vasco accepted blacks, mulattos, clerks and merchants into its membership, people who were not admitted to other football clubs.
