What are Banfield's colors?

Club Atlético Banfield has used green and white to build one of the most recognizable visual identities in Argentine football. Founded on January 21, 1896 in the town of Banfield, south of Buenos Aires, the club took its name directly from its home community. Its statutes formally establish green and white as the institutional colors, and those shades have appeared in several different shirt arrangements over the decades. One particularly distinctive design places a green diagonal sash across a white shirt. Banfield returned to that look for its 2026 home kit, drawing on shirts worn in seasons including 1951, 1963, 1987 and 2014. The club is also known as El Taladro, or “The Drill,” a nickname dating to 1940. Banfield’s football history includes the 2009 Apertura championship, its first professional-era top-flight league title.

Banfield marked its 130th anniversary in 2026 by revisiting designs connected with earlier periods of the club’s football history. The home shirt returned to the white base and green sash associated with several past Banfield teams rather than introducing an entirely new visual concept. That choice shows how flexible the club’s two-color identity has been: green and white have appeared as a sash, stripes and other arrangements while remaining immediately connected with Banfield. The anniversary design also links the modern kit with shirts from different decades, allowing the same official colors to provide continuity even when the pattern changes. For Banfield, the diagonal green band is therefore more than a seasonal styling choice; it is a recurring part of the club’s visual vocabulary.
