Malmo is the name of a Swedish football club, which was established in 1910. Today the club, nicknamed “The Blue Ones” (“Di blae” in Swedish) is coached by Jon Dahl Tomasson and has Anders Paladin as the President.
Meaning and history
Malmö is a Swedish professional football club founded in the same named city in early 1910. In its more than a century-long history, Malmö has managed to become the most titled club in Sweden and today verdict in the so-called “Big Three” of Swedish club football, together with Gothenburg and AIK. The club’s home arena is Eleda Stadium, with a capacity of 22,5 thousand spectators.
For the first ten years of its existence, Malmö played only friendly matches, as at that time there was no national championship in the country. It was only in 1920 that a football championship was established in Sweden. However, in the first division, Malmö did not get it, and the first time they played in the second.
The team managed to win its first championship title only in 1944, but after that, Malmö finished the season in the top three for a long time. However, the best years were still ahead for the team.
The real heyday of Malmö came in the 1970s when the club finally managed to make a name for itself outside the country. After winning their twelfth Swedish title in the 1977 season, Malmö won the right to play in the European Champions Cup, in the final of which they lost to English club Nottingham Forest with a score of 0:1.
In its long history, Malmö Football Club has been Swedish champion 23 times (the last at the start of 2025, in 2023); and has won the Swedish Football Cup 17 times (the last in 2024).
???? – 2010
The first logo for Malmo was composed of a simple crest with a geometric upper part, resembling an old castle wall with five square towers. The main body of the crest had three bold vertical stripes — two in blue, and one white in the middle. The upper part of the crest was colored white and comprised “MFF” lettering in traditional sans-serif with solid blue dots separating the letters.
The “Malmö FF” wordmark was arched under the crest and over a smooth six-pointed Star. Both elements were in the same blue shade. The inscription was executed in an elegant sans-serif typeface.
With the redesign the blue color of the Malmo badge became lighter and brighter, the star from the bottom of the logo became stricter and gained sharper angles, and the wordmark is now written in a bold serif font with elegant clean lines.
The only new element of the badge is a yellow-gold Star in gradient colors and a thin black outline placed above the crest.
2010 – Today
The redesign of 2010 has brightened up the color palette of the FC Malmo logo, using a light and vivid shade of blue. As for the composition and all of the elements, the whole image from the older version of the badge has moved to the new one without any changes at all. Just one important thing was added to the new emblem: a two-shaded golden five-pointed star in a thin black outline, which is now set above the stable and strict geometric crest.
