Meaning and history
F91 Dudelange is a professional football club from Luxembourg, founded in 1991 in the city of the same name. The rather young club appeared by merging three older teams, Stade Dudelange, Alliance Dudelange, and US Dudelange. Of these three teams, Stade was the most titled. It won 10 championships and 4 cups. US was second in the championship 4 times and won the cup once, and Alliance was only vice-champion 1 time and 2 times winner of the cup. Well, and obviously the “F91” part in the club’s name is a tribute to history, signifying the date of its foundation.
F91 Dudelange did not immediately join the football life of the country. All the successes of the team began only in the 2000s, and since then the album of F91 Dudelange trophies began to grow today it consists of 14 championship titles, 7 national cups, and 2 League Cups. And already in 2018, Dudelange became the first club from Luxembourg in history to make it to the group stage of the European Cup.
The team is based in the town of Dudelange, in the canton of Esch-sur-Alzette. Although the town is only 21 square kilometers in area, it is the fourth-largest settlement in the country. By the way, Dudelange has only had city status for just over a century.
Despite the small size of its motherland, Dudelange is a strong and progressive club. The club has its own very strong football academy, nurturing talented players. And the team’s games at the local stadium regularly draw crowds of fans.
1991 – Today
The visual identity of the Luxembourg football club looks modern and unique. And it is all because of an unusual composition of its traditionally shaped shield. The Dudelange crest is formed by “F91” symbols in bold clean lines. They make the top part of the shield and its sides, while the arched “Diddeleng” inscription in all capitals of a strong geometric sans-serif, forms the bottom border of the emblem.
The “F91” part is drawn in the colors of the Luxembourg national flag, red, white, and light blue, where the colored stripes are placed diagonally. As for the black wordmark, it is balanced by a black lion rampant, which is depicted on a small yellow crest, placed in the middle of the emblem, between “F” and “9” and over the nameplate.
The Dudelange logo is a very interesting example of how traditional elements, such as heraldic lion, can be implemented in a very modern design and keep looking confident and solid.
