The arms were officially approved in July 1967.
Before 1940 the town used arms as shown above. In the upper red field was a golden winged wheel symbolizing the railway junction and station, the lower half was vertically divided into two parts. In the right blue field was a silver blade and below it a silver five-pointed star, which symbolized Šunychl, and in the left green field was a spade, symbolizing Kopytov, a village which was annexed to the town in the late 19th century.  
 
The town was founded at the time when a big railway junction was built on the line connecting Vienna with Kraków (then in Austrian Galicia) and Wroclaw (then Breslau in German Silesia). The aldermen of Bohumín, suspicious of the new diabolic invention hurling clouds of smoke, did not permit building the junction on the lands belonging to the town, and so a Nový (= new) Bohumín was established not too far away near the village of Šunychl.
 
The tinctures of the field, gules and argent, are the national colours of both Czechs and Poles, which two nationalities meet at Novy Bohumín. The reversed shakefork is a graphic representation of the railway line running from the southwest to Novy Bohumín from Prague, and continuing one way to the north to Warsaw, and the other to the southeast to Slovakia. The cogwheel stands for the local industry, while the winged wheel was the official badge of the Czechoslovak State Railways. The colours of the chief are those of the former duchy of Tesín (Teschen) on which territory the town stands.
