Th 2015/16 season saw the Daggers relegated from the English Football League.
As mentioned by HistoricalKits, a financial crisis saw the club taken over by a consortium of seven American sports entrepreneurs who stabilised the finances.
The new regime launched yet another new crest today, a simplified version of the 1993 coat-of-arms badge. The date, 1881, printed on the oak tree refers to the formation of Ilford FC, the oldest of the predecessor clubs that went to form the modern club.
