The club received the colors of the flag of the state of Bahia: blue

The club received the colors of the flag of the state of Bahia: blue, red and white. Initially, however, the idea was that the colors were black, blue and white. Who vetoed it was the first president, Waldemar Costa: he thought that black in a football shirt would be bad luck. The team's shield is the flag of Bahia inside a blue circle. The curious thing: instead of the triangle, the upper left part of the flag has another Bahia flag, in a smaller size.
