Over the time, the emblem has suffered a few changes and some stylistic readjustments but, since 1930, the emblem remains with the current shape. In 1999 it is slightly changed, respecting, nevertheless, its original lines. By that time, a reposition was made to the eagle.
Since 1999
Sport Lisboa e Benfica’s symbol
The current symbol comes as a result of the overlap of two emblems and not as a fusion with the
creation of a new symbol. The emblem has got a very powerful and symbolic composition:
› A divided shield with the equipment colours, half red (on the left) and half white
(on the right), which means joy, coloured and vivacity, on an enthusiastic fight for sport
basis;
› At the middle of the shield, and above a football, a ladder with the club name
initials, the Association main reason of existence;
› At the top of the shield, a magnificent open-winged eagle, heraldic animal of great
meaning, authority, strength, victory and pride, symbol of objectives elevation and will to do;
› At the bottom of the eagle, in its claws, at the middle of itself and the shield, a
ribbon with the slogan - E Pluribus Unum. As it seems, this slogan was chosen or
suggested by Félix Bermudes, in order to put the Union and a family spirit together.
