The official badge depicts a knights belt encircling the original banner of Sala Calvet gymnaisum. The crown in the centre represents the clubs Royal decree and the diagonal blue stripe its identity as a Galician club (Galician flag). Deportivo la Coruña have always played in their famous blue and white stripes, but it was not until 1912 that the club made these colours official for matches. Deportivo continue to wear blue and white striped shirts with blue shorts and socks, yet their second and third kits change annually according to commercial interests. (*)
