FC Metz’s current badge is radically minimalist: the words “Fc Metz” sit above a thick, stylised Croix de Lorraine, both rendered in solid grenat, with no shield, dragon or additional symbols. This double-barred cross has long been tied to the club and the region, originating as a historic emblem of the dukes of Lorraine before becoming a symbol of Free France and the French Resistance in the 1940s.

The cross first appeared on Metz shirts in 1944–45 to mark Moselle’s return to France, and over time came to represent the club as strongly as its traditional crest. The 2021 rebrand distilled this heritage into a single bevelled cross with a small wordmark, emphasising regional pride and historical memory in a stark, contemporary form.
