You must talk to the committee of the club. its only them that can allow the use of their club crest which they should have copyright protected.

If the crest is not copyrighted you can use it freely.

Courtesy would dictate you speak with the committee, but there's no obligation to do so.

Hence, recently, a number of Counties have registered new crests, to protect their official copyright, their old crests being in free circulation for so long without copyright protection.

As said, better safe than sorry, and get permission first...

Why? They are trying to protect a brand and earn a few quid for the association.
