What are Huracan's colors?

Huracán has one of Argentine football’s most recognizable combinations of shirt and emblem: a predominantly white identity accented by red and marked by a red hot-air balloon containing the letter H. The club’s statutes define white with red trim as its distinguishing colors, making the red details an integral part of the design rather than a temporary kit choice. Founded in Buenos Aires on November 1, 1908, Huracán became closely associated with the Parque Patricios area of the city. Its traditional home appearance keeps white as the dominant color, allowing the red balloon badge and accompanying red details to stand out clearly. Huracán plays its home matches at the Tomás Adolfo Ducó Stadium in Parque Patricios, where the same white-and-red visual identity is carried through the club’s matchday imagery and long-established football tradition.

The balloon emblem is tied to Argentine aviation pioneer Jorge Newbery and the aerostat named El Huracán. During the club’s early development, Newbery became closely connected with Huracán and authorized the use of the balloon and its white-and-red appearance as part of the institution’s identity. Early club records already described a white football shirt carrying the Huracán balloon as its distinguishing mark. That connection produced an unusually direct link between the club’s name, badge and colors: the balloon explains the central graphic, while its red outline stands sharply against the white background. More than a decorative crest element, it became the visual feature that makes Huracán immediately identifiable even when the surrounding kit design changes from season to season.
