Boca Juniors Swaps Social-Media Crest for 120th‑Anniversary Badge, Says No Official Change

The club describes the switch as a profiles-only refresh rather than a statutory modification of its emblem.

Overview

  • All official accounts updated their profile image to the 120th‑anniversary design used since 2025 on the kit, which removes interior stars and restores a central yellow band.
  • Boca clarified the move affects only its online facade, noting that any emblem reform must follow the club’s statute that prescribes stars and a formal approval process.
  • Reporters note the simplified crest had already appeared on apparel, training pieces and visual supports, and club sources cited by La Nacion framed the update as a communications unification effort.
  • Supporters reacted with mixed views, with some praising the cleaner look and others favoring the traditional star-filled shield tied to the club’s titles.
  • Coverage links the timing to broader institutional activity such as Bombonera expansion proposals and reports of pending regulatory steps, while commentary also floats merchandising or a staged transition as speculation.
