Evolution of Argentinian Club Logos

With major Argentinian club River Plate having recently updated their logo, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at some other clubs' logos from the South American nation. Twitter user @FrancooC07 created a neat summary of the logo evolution of some of Argentina's biggest football clubs.

Logo Evolution in Argentina

Boca Juniors

Boca has a tradition of adding titles as stars inside of their shield instead of placing stars above the crest. Obviously, this means that the club's logo will constantly be changed.

The club have had their signature blue and yellow shield look for many decades now.

River Plate

River Plate are the most recent club in this list to alter their crest. This change was nothing noteworthy, however.

Boca's main rivals have also had their own iconic shield shape for some time, as well as the CARP acronym, the oldest remaining aspect of their crest.

San Lorenzo

Using yet another shield for a crest, San Lorenzo have only added minor updates to their logo. The vertical blue and red stripes and the acronym in the center have not changed much over the years.

Racing Club

Pictured above is only a glimpse at Racing Club's quite extensive logo evolution. Most noteably, the club first started featuring the sky blue and white stripes on their crest in 1928, almost 100 years ago.

Indepentiente

Back in 1905, Indepentiente's crest honored Saint Andrew with the Scottish flag. In fact, the old 1905 badge is still used on Independiente's away kits to this day.

The club's current logo has its roots in 1935, when the shield was adopted alongside the letters CAI.
