I found this link
http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?article=204744&lid=AboutA...
which refers to Arsenal: \"This cannon crest remained prominent in the Arsenal matchday programme and other publications for 17 seasons. It changed slightly through the years with the wording eventually disappearing, but, despite being usurped by the Victoria Concordia Crescit crest in 1949 it has remained a basic symbol of the Club ever since, featuring on official merchandise and stationary throughout the years right up until the present day.
\'Victoria Concordia Crescit\'. Translation: \'Victory grows out of harmony.\'\"

disagree sonja29 (X) : This is not a case of "harmonia", but of "team spirit", "teamwork". Please see also http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=140668

agree verbis : with marju .Ancient Romans did not really knew what "team spirit" meant, it was not part of their culture.
