FC St. Pauli’s badge is a brown-and-white roundel with a central red circle showing a stylised brick city gate topped by a cross, flanked by two small stars and surrounded by the inscription “FC ST. PAULI 1910.” The image is based on Hamburg’s historic city coat of arms, whose castle and gate symbolise the old fortress and status as a Hanseatic port, anchoring the club firmly in its home district on the Elbe. The cross highlights the city’s Christian heritage, while the brown-and-white palette reflects St. Pauli’s traditional kit colours rather than Hamburg’s civic red.
Introduced in its current form in the late 1980s and only lightly updated since, the roundel has become an anti-establishment cult symbol far beyond football, appearing on everything from punk patches to global streetwear while still functioning as the official crest.
