Real Madrid Crest
Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid or simply Real, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The Madrid Football Club, which was established in 1902, has always had a white home uniform. King Alfonso XIII gave the club the honorary title real, which is Spanish for “royal,” and the royal crown on the emblem in 1920. Since 1947, Real Madrid has held their home games in the 81,044-seat Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in the heart of Madrid. Real Madrid’s members, or socios, have owned and run the club for the entirety of its existence, in contrast to the majority of European sports organizations.
Real Madrid Logos
The club’s three initials, “MCF” for Madrid Club de Ftbol, were interlaced in a beautiful pattern over the club’s first crest’s white background. The letters took on a more streamlined form and appeared inside a circle in 1908, marking the crest’s first alteration. Not until Pedro Parages’ presidency in 1920 did the crest’s design undergo its next alteration. At that time, King Alfonso XIII gave the club his royal sponsorship, which arrived in the form of the name “Real Madrid,” which means “Royal,” and was put to the club’s emblem along with Alfonso’s crown.
All royal emblems (the crown on the crest and the title of Real) were abolished with the monarchy’s demise in 1931. The dark mulberry band of the Region of Castile took the place of the crown. The “Real Corona,” or “Royal Crown,” of the crest was reinstated by the Francoist dictatorship in 1941, two years after the Nationalists’ Civil War triumph, and the mulberry stripe of Castile was also kept. Additionally, the club returned to using the term Real Madrid Club de Ftbol and the entire crest was made in full color, with gold being the most noticeable.
In order to better position itself for the twenty-first century and further standardize its crest, the club most recently changed the crest in 2001. The mulberry stripe was changed to a more bluish hue as one of the adjustments.
