Excelsior Rotterdam’s badge is a clean circular crest with a thick white outer ring carrying the black wordmark “EXCELSIOR ROTTERDAM,” flanked by the numbers “19” and “02,” around an inner circle split horizontally into black above and red below. The black-and-red half circle reflects the club’s traditional colours and its nickname Roodzwarten (“red-blacks”), long associated with Excelsior’s kits and identity.  

The year 1902 marks the club’s founding in Rotterdam’s Kralingen district and is explicitly highlighted to stress its long history.  The switch in the ring text from “SBV Excelsior” to “Excelsior Rotterdam” in the 2020s rebrand underlines the connection to the city, while the name “Excelsior” itself comes from Latin for “ever upward,” hinting at ambition and progression.
