San Jose Earthquakes’ badge is a black shield with a thick white inner border and a blue outline inside the frame. The top section is dominated by the large white word “QUAKES,” with “SAN JOSE” underneath and the year “1974” in red. The lower half contains large angular blue shapes, a white-and-blue diagonal line, and a black, white, and grey football placed near the center.
The “QUAKES” wordmark is the strongest identity element in this badge, using oversized lettering to make the club nickname the main focus. The football sits where the diagonal white line crosses the lower graphic forms, giving the crest a direct sport reference inside the angular design.
The blue shapes and diagonal white line create a sharp, fractured composition across the lower shield. Visually, the badge depends on heavy contrast between black, white, blue, and red, with “1974” acting as a small but important historical marker in the top wordmark area.
The 1974 date connects the badge to the original San Jose Earthquakes team from the NASL era. The club marked its 50th anniversary in 2024, and official club material describes 1974 as the starting point of the Earthquakes’ long-running soccer identity in San Jose.
