Iceland National Football Team Kit
The national team uses blue as its home color and white as its second color, but its crest features stylized images of Iceland’s four “guardian spirits” (Landvættir) in local folklore; a giant, a dragon, a bull, and an eagle. The team crest was adopted in 2020 and was designed by the Reykjavik-based firm Bradenburg. Previously, the team used a team crest that features a shield-like symbol consisting of the abbreviation for the Football Association of Iceland in Icelandic (KSI), strips deriving the colors of the Icelandic flag, and a soccer ball.
