Colors, badge, and kit sponsorship
Nottingham Forest's colors have always been red since the club's foundation in 1865. In the club's foundation meeting, the committee also passed a resolution that the team colors should be 'Garibaldi red' in honor of Giuseppe Garibaldi, who was the leader of the redshirts volunteers.

The design is a tree in red and white colors, with the name Forest underneath it. Two stars above the badge commemorate the European Cup victories in 1979 and 1980.
