Red Star Football Club was founded in Belgrade in 1945 and is the only Serbian club to have won the European Cup (1991). The insignia have the form of a shield, but with the letters ФК in the field, so they are a pseudo-heraldic emblem.
Blazon
Device
A shield divided diagonally from the sinister, silver and red, with a gold border; over the division a large red five-pointed star edged with silver; in the upper dexter corner the red letters ФК. Above the shield three gold five-pointed stars.
Symbolism and meaning
The red star gives the club its name, and red and white are its colours. The three stars above the shield, by sporting custom, denote national championship titles won — one for every ten.
