The Salle coat of arms was granted by the American College of Heraldry on 8 June 2005.  The American College of Heraldry is a learned heraldic organization that registers coats of arms in the United States on a voluntary basis.  The first fencing organization to bear a coat of arms was the predecessor of the modern L'Académie d'Armes de France, the society of French Maitre d'Armes, established in 1567.  A coat of arms is symbolic depiction of the individual, originating in the need to be able to identify leaders on the battlefield - for Salle Green, the formal grant of the coat of arms is the basis for the patch our fencers wear on the fencing strip, the scene of combat in our sport.

The arms include the shield, green with two crossed silver swords, for the colors of Salle Green and symbolizing our sport, with a border of white and black representing the role of amateurs and professionals in the Salle.  The crest depicts a fencing master of the late 1500s, reflecting our dedication to the continuity of the sport.  The helmet and green and white mantling and torse are of the standard pattern for organizations and individuals.  Our motto, "It is a good day to fight," taken from the words of Chief Sitting Bull before battle, appears below.
