"Looks Like a Nazi Symbol": All-New Spezia Calcio Logo Unveiled

Spezia Calcio, who got relegated from Serie A last season, yesterday unveiled their new visual identity, which according to the official announcement represents the club's values and connection with the city.

But the new logo has sparked controversy and a revolt among fans and citizens. Many people have expressed concerns that the logo bears resemblances to symbols associated with Nazism and extreme right-wing movements.

The official Spezia Calcio page and social media platforms have been flooded with comments criticizing the logo. Fans have even initiated a petition on change.org, urging the club's ownership not to adopt the new symbol, stating that it disrespects the historical significance of Spezia Calcio.

Spezia Calcio Logo 2023-24

This is the new Spezia Calcio logo, to be used from 2023-2024, compared to the previous design.

The minimalist design of the Spezia 23-24 logo consists of three key elements: the name 'Spezia' completing the structure, the historical symbol of an eagle positioned prominently, and the intersection of the letters S and C, forming an anchor at the bottom.

Considering the amount of criticism, it remains to be seen whether Spezia will keep the change or revert back to the old design.
