FC Lorient’s badge is a pointed shield split between a black upper band and an orange field, with “FC LORIENT” in white beside a stylised black-and-white Breton flag and, below, a white roundel showing a dynamic fish above the date “1926.” The fish represents the merlu (hake), directly evoking Lorient’s origins as a major fishing port and the club’s long-standing nickname “Les Merlus,” adopted when the early emblem replaced a red gurnard with the more “noble” hake in 1926.
The year recalls the club’s foundation, while the Gwenn-ha-du flag, added in the 2010 crest redesign, asserts the team’s Breton identity within the modern shield format that replaced the previous circular logo.
