Le Havre’s current badge is a dark-navy shield with a pale-blue lower half, outlined in light blue and gold, featuring the white initials “HAC” above a crowned white salamander and the date “1872.” The two-tone palette, known as ciel et marine, comes from the colours of Cambridge and Oxford universities, chosen by the club’s English founders and now synonymous with Le Havre’s identity.
The salamander is taken from the city’s coat of arms and from King Francis I’s personal emblem, linking the club directly to the royal founding of Le Havre in 1517. The “1872” mark reflects the date long promoted by the club for its origins, embedded in this modern crest design used since the 2010s.
