Napoli 26-27 Centenary Logo Teased? Return of the Original 1926 Horse Crest?
- Centenary Celebrations Underway: SSC Napoli has officially begun its centenary celebrations for the 26-27 season, marking its founding on August 1, 1926, with year-long events themed "Pe’ cient’anne".
- Special Centenary Icon Revealed: A golden-designed centenary icon for the 26-27 season has been teased, featuring the letter 'N' from the club logo at its center alongside the text "Cento".
- Original 1926 Horse Crest's Return: Napoli's centenary teaser strongly suggests the reintroduction of the "Corsiero del Sole" (white rampant horse), the club's very first symbol from 1926, to commemorate the 100-year anniversary.
SSC Napoli has officially kicked off its centenary celebrations by teasing a special icon for the 26-27 season. Founded on August 1, 1926, the club is preparing a year-long series of events under the "Pe’ cient’anne" banner.
Napoli 26-27 Centenary Icon
The Napoli 26-27 centenary icon features a golden design with the N from the club logo in the center, with the text Cento. It remains to be seen how this Icon will be used - we might see it tinely on the kit.
Return of the Corsiero del Sole?
Even more interesting is that Napoli's teaser suggests that they bring back the "Corsiero del Sole" (white rampant horse). This rearing horse was the club's very first symbol in 1926, originally appearing alongside the letters ACN and a football. It was famously replaced by the "ciuccio" (donkey) following early struggles on the pitch, but the taser strongly suggests that the Neapolitan horse will return to the visual ecosystem to mark the 100-year milestone.
It remains to be seen if the Napoli 26-27 kits will feature the regular crest or retro badges. We expect the team to use the first logo at least for a special centenary kit.
