Sydney FC has begun a new era in the club’s history with the unveiling of a new logo which is an evolution of the existing crest and represents an iconic club for an iconic city.

The logo reveals the sails from the Sydney Opera House as seen from the Sky Blues home ground of Allianz Stadium with the Federation star remaining a feature from the previous badge.

Chairman Scott Barlow believes the design will provide fresh impetus and drive to Sydney FC as the club moves into the next phase of its development.

“This new crest represents a coming of age for our club. It is an evolution of the previous design with a number of respectful nods to the past,” he said.

“It is a premium and authentic football crest that will stand the test of time and be a true reflection of our club and our identity.

“We are proud to represent one of the world’s truly iconic cities and we now have a crest that emphasizes that. An iconic club for an iconic city.

“A big thank you to those Sydney FC members who were involved throughout the design process.”

A recurring theme in recent conversations with Members and supporters at club forums has been the need for a new and improved crest and a select band of Members helped in the consultation towards the new logo.

The club will be phasing in the logo over the next few weeks with the official changeover set to happen on July 1 and the crest to appear on next season’s new team kits.
