115 Years Old Today - Here's the Full Real Madrid Crest History
Mar 6, 2017, by Pat
With Real Madrid celebrating its 115 anniversary today, we want to give you an overview of the different logos used by the club throughout the years.
Real Madrid Logo History
Below you can find the most important versions of the Real Madrid crest used through history.
Starting off in the first years of the 20th anniversary, Real Madrid's initial crest was a monogram consisting of M, C and F for Madrid Club de Fútbol. Although it doesn't have a lot in common with the more contemporary logos, its idea is still retained in the form of the monogram as a centerpiece.
In 1908, said monogram was changed to the alignment which is still used to this day, although the logo itself again only uses two colors in white and blue.
One of the most iconic features of the current logo, the crown was gifted to the club in 1920 by King Alfonso XIII alongside the "Real" (Spanish for Royal) part of the name.
With the start of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931, the crown as removed and the club was renamed to "Madrid Club de Fútbol" again, while a purple band was added to the crest for the first time.
In 1941, after the end of the Spanish Civil War, the crown was restored, while the badge was also made in full color for the first time. Since then, only small adjustments have taken place to this iconic logo.

Ajax Player' Goalkeeper Kit Was Manually Created by the Club
A curious detail has emerged regarding AFC Ajax's kit specifications for the 26-27 season. While Ajax outfield players take the pitch wearing standard replica-spec shirts with embroidered crests and fan-grade fabric, goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has been spotted wearing a genuine player-issue authentic Adidas shirt.
The difference comes down to how Adidas structures its team tiers and produces goalkeeper templates. Since Ajax is not currently classified as an Adidas Elite partner, the three stripes brand does not manufacture dedicated authentic player-spec versions for their outfield kits. However, Adidas makes authentic base goalkeeper shirts available to its clubs, complete with lightweight Climacool+ performance fabric, printed Adidas branding, and the official authentic hem jocktag.
To prepare the shirt for matchday, Ajax manually customized the blank authentic goalkeeper template in-house by heat-applying the club's three-starred crest and sponsor graphics. This process allows ter Stegen to wear a true high-performance shirt on the pitch, even as the rest of the squad continues to play in standard replica shirts.
