Arms of Upplands-Bro

I rött fält en hornprydd man hållande med höger hand ett svärd om skidan och med vänster hand två korslagda stavar, allt av guld.

Origin/meaning

The arms show a small bronze figure, found in the municipality in 1968. The figure probably symbolises Odin. It was adopted as municipal arms in 1983.
