The Origin of the Cuiabá Badge

The Cuiabá badge features the traditional colors yellow and green. Initially, the design of the badge aimed to reflect the identity of the city of Cuiabá (the capital of Mato Grosso), highlighting local culture and elements. The symbol of a "tent" was included in the badge, representing the indigenous tradition of the region. As the club grew and achieved more successes, the badge became more detailed while always maintaining its historical and regional essence.

Current Cuiabá Badge (2016 to Present)

In 2016, Cuiabá made another modernization to its badge to reflect its more professional image and align it with the clubs in the Série A of the Campeonato Brasileiro.

The current design is modern and simple, yet respects the historical roots of the club and the traditions of the state of Mato Grosso.
