Fotbal Club CFR 1907 Cluj, commonly known as CFR Cluj or simply CFR, is a Romanian professional football club based in Cluj-Napoca, Cluj County, Romania. The team competes in Liga I, the top tier of Romanian football, and is one of the most successful clubs in modern Romanian football history. This unofficial CFR Cluj fan flag (Romanian: steag neoficial al suporterilor CFR Cluj) features the club's official emblem centered on a burgundy background, with the color directly derived from the crest and the club's traditional identity.
The club's emblem is built around a wide burgundy shield outlined in black, with elegant arched sides that give the design a strong and distinctive appearance. At the center of the crest is a stylized front-facing steam locomotive, symbolizing the club's historic roots in the Romanian railway industry. The nickname "The Railwaymen" and the acronym "CFR" both originate from "Căile Ferate Române," meaning "Romanian Railways," reflecting the club's foundation by railway workers in 1907. The locomotive is rendered in a bold and sleek style, emphasizing power, movement, and industrial heritage. At the very top of the crest, a football forms the locomotive's smokestack, highlighting the club's sporting identity. On the locomotive's boiler section appear the inscriptions "FOTBAL CLUB," "CFR," and "1907," the latter marking the club's founding year. The emblem also incorporates white vertical side details and a balanced burgundy-and-white color palette, symbolizing tradition, strength, and continuity. Altogether, the crest combines railway symbolism with football imagery, representing CFR Cluj's proud heritage and enduring identity in Romanian football.
