Kokkolan Palloveikot, commonly abbreviated as KPV, is a Finnish football club based in Kokkola. The club was founded in 1930 and its traditional colors are green and white.[1] The club’s official website is kpv.fi, and the first team has maintained a separate site at kpvedustus.fi since January 2020.[2]
Design and History
KPV’s visual identity is built around the club’s green and white colors, which appear consistently across the club’s playing kits and materials. The club’s official kit consists of a green shirt with white shorts and green socks, and training wear uses a green shirt with black shorts.[3] Team groupings for youth matches are also divided into green and white squads, reflecting the club’s two-color scheme.[4]
The club’s logo has been documented in Finnish academic research on sports branding. A 2015 thesis on football club visual identities reproduced the KPV logo as it appeared on the club’s official website at that time, citing the image URL kpv.fi/theme/logo600.jpg.[5] The same thesis discusses the logo and its graphic elements as part of a broader study of football club branding, though it does not provide a detailed description of the mark’s design features.
Meaning and Symbolism
The club’s green and white colors are confirmed as its social colors by multiple sources,[1] and the RSSSF archive of Finnish team colors lists KPV Kokkola as playing in all green.[6] No official source provides a documented explanation of what the colors or the emblem’s elements are intended to symbolize.
