Maccabi Tel Aviv’s badge is a circular blue-and-yellow crest built around the club’s historic Maccabi emblem. The outer ring carries the text “MACCABI TEL AVIV FC,” with “SINCE 1906” placed at the bottom. Five gold stars sit above the crest, while the center features a large yellow geometric Maccabi symbol over a deep blue background.

The central symbol is the most important element of the badge. It combines the Star of David outline with stylized Hebrew lettering, creating a visual link between the football club, the wider Maccabi sporting tradition and Jewish identity. Maccabi Tel Aviv’s official crest update described this emblem as the traditional element that has represented the club throughout its history.

The yellow-and-blue colour scheme is also central to the club’s identity. Maccabi’s own history notes that the team originally used white and blue, before yellow was added in 1942 as a gesture of solidarity with European Jews forced to wear the yellow patch during the Holocaust.

The badge was modernized in 2021 with a cleaner digital-first design, keeping the historic Maccabi emblem while simplifying the overall shape for stronger use across shirts, media graphics and online platforms. The club also describes its crest evolution as a way to honor its heritage and long history since 1906.
