Norrby IF, formally Norrby Idrottsförening, is a Swedish football club based in the Norrby district of Borås, founded on 27 April 1927.[1] The club’s official colors are blue and white, and it plays its home matches at Borås Arena.[1]
Design and History
The Norrby IF crest is a shield-shaped emblem. Photographic documentation from match play in the Swedish Superettan shows the club emblem worn on players’ jerseys, confirming the shield format in active use.[2] The club’s official website sells merchandise bearing the club emblem (klubbmärket), including children’s T-shirts, indicating the crest is the primary identity mark used across club products.[3]
Historical records from the club’s early period describe the team kit as blue shirts, white shorts and blue socks.[4] The club colors of blue and white are consistently documented across multiple independent football references.[1][5]
The club’s visual identity has remained consistently tied to its blue and white colors throughout its history, but detailed records of crest evolution are not publicly available in the sources reviewed.
Meaning and Symbolism
The club’s motto, “En klubb, många hjärtan” (One club, many hearts), appears on its official website, but this slogan is not documented as being part of the crest itself.[6]
Some unofficial fan sources claim the crest features a lion and that the club colors are red and white, but these claims conflict with the blue and white colors documented by established football references and are not supported by official sources.[7] These unverified claims should be treated with caution.
