KuPS’ badge is a black, white and yellow oval crest with a rounded top, the yellow “KuPS” wordmark at the top, and the full name “Kuopion Palloseura” curved around the lower white panel. The centre shows a large football divided into black, white and yellow sections, with the founding year 1923 placed at the bottom of the ball.
The abbreviation KuPS comes from Kuopion Palloseura, meaning Kuopio Ball Club, directly linking the badge to the city of Kuopio. The football and full club name keep the emblem focused on the team’s sporting identity, while yellow and black are KuPS’ long-standing colours.
KuPS was founded on 16 March 1923. The club’s early colours were black and green, but in 1935 KuPS adopted the yellow shirt, black shorts and yellow-black socks that became its defining visual identity.
