emblem
"G" AS OUR SPIRIT
The GAMBA OSAKA Osaka emblem is formed by combining three elements—flames, a heart, and a goal—to create the initial "G" of GAMBA OSAKA.
The universal and contemporary design, composed of simple yet solid elements, embodies Gamba Osaka's strong belief that it will not only be relevant on the GAMBA OSAKA, but will also be a part of various scenes and lifestyles, creating new experiences and becoming a leading sports experience brand in Japan.
BE THE HEAT
The shape of the flames rising from the bottom symbolizes GAMBA OSAKA, representing the blue flames that generate fervor and excitement.
BE THE HEART
The blue line that forms a heart shape from the center represents the burning passion that continues to burn within, symbolizing the determination to be at the heart of the fans, supporters, community, and Japanese sports culture.
Origin of the club name
GAMBA is an Italian word meaning "leg".
Aiming for a simple yet strong team, they emphasized "legs," the fundamental element of soccer.
The sound of "Gamba" is similar to the Japanese word "ganbaru" (to do one's best), and it embodies the feelings of "a team that works together as one to aim for victory," "a team that will do its best and win no matter the circumstances," "a team that is based in Osaka and works hard with the support of fans in the Kansai region, mainly Osaka," and "a football club that is working hard to become the best club organization in Japan and the world."
The logotype incorporates the essence of the emblem, resulting in a simple yet strong and modern design.
Team Colors
Based on the brand colors (team colors) of blue and black, and incorporating gold and white, we will create a strong image for the GAMBA OSAKA brand.
Official mascot
MOFLEM
As a mood maker, he generates excitement at various points of contact and connects GAMBA OSAKA with everyone through his passion.
Its name was derived from a combination of its fluffy form and the word "flame."
Harchimo
While conveying the club's appeal to a wider audience, MOFLEM will be a bridge between GAMBA OSAKA and its fans.
The name was created by combining the words "hot heart" and "mochi-mochi" (chewy/squishy).
Honorary Mascot
GAMBA BOY
Gamba's energetic soccer boy will do his best to win the championship.
The team name "GAMBA" symbolically represents the word "leg," symbolizing the spirit of fighting and energy that they grasp with their hands.
