Miðvágs Bóltfelag, commonly known as MB, is a Faroese football club based in Miðvágur on the island of Vágar. The club was established in 1905 and is also referred to by the nickname MB 1905.[1] The club’s official colors are documented as white and blue.[2]
Design and History
Miðvágs Bóltfelag’s visual identity is tied to its long history on Vágar. The club was founded in January 1905 by Carl Johansen, a parish priest in the Vágar area.[3] In 1993, MB merged with SÍF Sandavágur to form FS Vágar; after that merger collapsed in 2004, MB was re-established as an independent club and restarted in the fourth division.[1]
The club’s crest is described as a coat of arms style emblem.[4] The badge incorporates the club’s white and blue identity, consistent with the colors documented for the team.[2] The club’s nickname, MB 1905, reflects the founding year that appears in its identity.[1]
The club’s official website, mb1905.fo, is referenced across multiple sources as the primary home for the club’s identity.[5]
Meaning and Symbolism
The club’s white and blue colors are consistently reported across multiple references,[2][5] but no official source explains a specific meaning behind the color choice or the crest’s individual elements. The coat of arms format follows a common convention for Faroese football club badges, though no source confirms an intentional symbolic program for this particular design.[4]
