The first arms of Poperinge were officially granted on December 31, 1838 and showed a right hand and arm, coming from the side of the shield and holding a crosier. The shield was red, the hand and crosier gold. The arms were slightly changed in 1875, when the arm was removed and a ring was added to the hand. | The first arms of Poperinge were officially granted on December 31, 1838 and showed a right hand and arm, coming from the side of the shield and holding a crosier.

After the merger in 1977 the arms remained the same, however the crown was changed to a mural crown indicating the historical city and the French War Cross was added. The cross was already added in 1923 by the municipality, but not officially granted. | After the merger in 1977 the arms remained the same, however the crown was changed to a mural crown indicating the historical city and the French War Cross was added.
