OGC Nice’s badge shows a golden crowned eagle with wings spread around a black shield bearing vertical red and black stripes and the white inscription “OGC NICE,” standing on a white scroll inscribed “DESPI 1904.” The eagle comes directly from the city of Nice’s coat of arms, where a red imperial eagle atop rocks and sea symbolises allegiance to the House of Savoy; on the crest it underpins the club’s nickname Les Aiglons (“the Eaglets”).
The red-and-black stripes are the colours adopted after the 1919 merger with Gallia, now the visual shorthand for the club. The ribbon motto “Despì 1904,” written in Niçard dialect, means “since 1904” and was added with the 2013 rebrand to anchor the modern emblem in the club’s founding date.
