Cruz Azul’s badge shows a circular crest with a dark-blue outer ring, the words “Club de Futbol Cruz Azul” and a central red square containing a blue cross inside a white circle. The design is simple, geometric and directly tied to the club’s name.

The blue cross is the main symbol of the badge. It comes from the club’s origins with the Cooperativa La Cruz Azul cement company, where the team was founded by workers in Jasso, Hidalgo, in 1927.

The red square and white circle give the cross a strong, industrial-looking frame, while the dark-blue ring reflects the club’s “Celestes” identity. The badge’s clean layout makes the cross instantly recognizable even without a traditional football shield.

Cruz Azul is also known as “La Máquina” and “Los Cementeros,” nicknames linked to its cement-company roots and its dominant teams of the 1960s and 1970s. The current crest keeps that identity focused on the club’s most important visual element: the blue cross.
