FK Karlskrona is a Swedish football club based in Karlskrona, formed in 2012 through the merger of Lyckeby GoIF and Karlskrona AIF.[1] The club’s visual identity is built around an orange and black color scheme, with white as a supporting accent.
Design and History
The club was created in 2012 with the goal of building a financially strong and competitive football club in Karlskrona.[2] The merger brought together Karlskrona AIF, which itself had been formed in 1968 from a combination of Saltö BK, Karlskrona BK and Björkholmens IF, with Lyckeby GoIF.[3]
The club’s colors are orange and black, as documented in references to players wearing the “orange-svarta tröja” (orange-black jersey).[4] The orange color connects the club to other sports organizations in Karlskrona, as local media noted when the floorball club FBC Karlskrona unveiled its new crest in 2017 with an orange tone that “strikes a chord with both Karlskrona HK and FK Karlskrona.”[5]
The club’s crest is used across its official communications, including its Svenskalag pages for youth and senior teams.[6] A vector version of the logo is available through the Brands of the World community archive, which lists the designer as FK Karlskrona itself.[7]
Meaning and Symbolism
Documented color values for the current crest include a strong orange (approximately #E63E1C), white (#FFFFFF) and a near-black tone (#1B1918).[8] The orange and black combination is consistently referenced in match reports and club communications, including youth team fixtures listing orange as the club’s primary kit color.[9]
Typography and Design
No official documentation has been located that specifies the typography used within the FK Karlskrona crest or describes its construction in detail. The club’s official website domain is fkkarlskrona.com, though some sources also reference kaif.se as a legacy address from the Karlskrona AIF era.[10]
