(b) No political party shall adopt as an emblem one which has been previously used or adopted by another political party, either in whole or in part, if such other party still claims and uses such emblem; nor shall any political party use as an emblem on an election ballot the flag or coat of arms of the United States or the Territory of the Virgin Islands, or any religious symbol.

The Supervisor of Elections shall refuse to accept any emblem of a political party which violates the provisions of this section. If any political party fails to register its emblem with the Supervisor of Elections on or before twelve o'clock noon the first Tuesday in July in which it is to be used, as required by this section, the Supervisor of Elections shall designate an emblem for such party which shall be used to distinguish the said party on the official ballot.
(c) Any political party desiring to change its name or emblem may do so on certificate of the territorial committee of said party, filed in the office of the Supervisor of Elections, and such party shall not therefore lose the rights and privileges granted thereto by law as such political party.
