Colours and logo [edit ]

FC Basel ‘s traditional kit out is a crimson and blue shirt. Due to the fact that some of the founders were members of the “ Basler Ruder-Club ”, whose colors were red and blue, they adopted those colours for their new baseball club. FC Basel ‘s equip is completed by blue shorts with gold trim and blasphemous socks with red trim. From this comes the dub “ RotBlau “ which is swiss German and German for “ RedBlue ”. Their away kit is all white with two stripes down the center, the forget being red and the right being aristocratic. FC Basel ‘s kits were once manufactured by Nike, however in the summer of 2012 a modern sign was formed with Adidas to produce the kits until 2017. The main sponsor is Novartis, a multinational pharmaceutical ship’s company which is based in the city of Basel. On the inside tag of the jersey is inscribed “ Rot isch unseri Liebi, Blau die ewigi Treui, Basel unseri Stadt. ” This roughly translates to “ Red is our love, blue the endless commitment, Basel our city. ” The celebrated “ Blaugrana “ colours of Barcelona are said to have originated from the Rotblau tinge of FC Basel. FC Barcelona was founded by former Basel captain Joan Gamper. For the 2008–09 season, Basel changed their shirt to resemble the traditional Barcelona shirt ( red and blue vertical stripes ).

The shield is outlined with aureate and in the center in gold letters it reads “ FCB ”, for “ Football Club Basel ” or “ Fussballclub Basel ”.

The resemblances seem clear : both logos seem to incorporate the shield design, as do most early clubs.
