| | Coat of arms of Sunderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The first grant of arms was made in 1947, and this was not amended in 1967 when additional territory was incorporated into the County Borough of Sunderland. |
 | | In 1974, on the creation of the Metropolitan Borough of Sunderland, the arms were regranted with amendments, and in 1992 when Sunderland was created a City an entirely new grant of arms was made, the main charges being quite unlike any previous grant. |
 | | These arms were generally seen only embossed or printed in monochrome, so the usual blazon was "Argent, a sextant sable", however when used on street furniture various colours were used, often depending on what was available to the painter. |
