Burton Albion’s badge is a black-and-gold circular crest with “Burton Albion Football Club” around the outside, “The Brewers” at the bottom, and a stylised footballer kicking a ball in the centre.
The “Brewers” nickname is the key to the badge. Burton upon Trent is one of England’s historic brewing towns, with brewing deeply tied to the town’s identity, and the club nickname directly reflects that local heritage.
The central kicking figure comes from Burton Albion’s long-running crest tradition, where a footballer silhouette was used with the club’s initials in earlier badge versions. The new 2025 crest was introduced for the club’s 75th anniversary and was described by the club as an updated version of a vintage design, returning to the identity of the first Brewers team.
Burton Albion was founded in 1950, and the black-and-gold badge keeps the club identity simple: the Brewers nickname, local brewing heritage, a footballer symbol, and a retro colour treatment linked to the club’s anniversary-era visual refresh.
