do these hammers symbolize the working class?

Nothing working class about West Ham anymore they're run by corporates like that ugly goblin Karen Brady. 

CMD's answer is Wikipedia's answer so you cannot really award him best answer as he didn't give his own answer ^_^

so AVOID giving him best answer despite his effort. 

j/k,  he gave a source for his plagurism so that makes it okay lol

Premier league football has absolutely nothing to do with the working class any more. £60 to get in to watch someone earn more in 90 minutes than you do in10 years. 

Yeh, up the workers!

No, it symbolises a bunch of southern wimps who think they are tough shouting "forever blowing bubbles" yet can't cope with a quarter inch of snow

No, they represent the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company, which founded the club

@Aces

It's called a reference, if you went to University you would know that, and while Wiki isn’t the most reliable source this is the correct answer.

I gave the answer that was correct, and don ‘t care about BA’s like you

As I said; it isn’t a image of the working class it is logo of the company that the working class worked for.

Yeah West Ham do have cool fans, they have the best British accent by far, I love Ray Winstone. 

"After the rebranding of the logo, the center image of the logo was crossed rivet hammers used in the shipbuilding industry. Similar hammers are found in the arms of West Ham County and Newham Borough of London.

The tools reflect the club’s origins as an amateur Thames Iron Works team founded by shipbuilders. The instruments are surrounded by a burgundy ring and are located in the center of a stylized shield with a blue outline."
