Champions League Emblem of Honor
Champions League badge of honor
UEFA rules that only clubs that have won at least five Champions League titles or achieved three consecutive Champions League titles can wear the badge of honor, and the number on the armband corresponds to the number of Champions League titles won by that club. A total of 22 teams have lifted the trophy since the creation of the Champions League in 1956, but only six teams have the armband, and five-time Barcelona is one of them.
Badge
Since the day Barça was founded, the club has had its own crest. The team was founded using the city coat of arms of the city of Barcelona, but they added a laurel crown symbolizing the champion and a bat to the city emblem, and the name and date of the club were written around the pattern.
In 1910, Barcelona held an open competition to design the team logo, Carlos Comamara became the designer of the club emblem, and he designed the team logo for Barça that is still used today. The team emblem resembles a pot, and later it was thought that some symbols symbolizing Catalonia should be added to the club crest, so yellow and red stripes were added; On the upper left side of the coat of arms, the cross of Barcelona's patron saint was added to symbolize the city of Barcelona; The blue and red stripes below the crest symbolize the club's colours, and finally the football is added between the red and blue stripes. After 1910, the design of the team logo changed very little. In 1949, when the club celebrated its 50th anniversary, the dark stripe in the upper right corner was restored; In 1974, the crest was largely restored to its 1910 design. In 2002, a new team logo was unveiled by designer Serajima, who eliminated the F.C.B. middle dot and the numbers on the side for a cleaner and brighter style.
