Club Atlético Peñarol, more commonly referred to as Peñarol, is a Uruguayan professional football club based in Montevideo, Uruguay. The club currently competes in the Liga AUF Uruguaya, the highest tier in Uruguayan football, and is one of the most successful and historically significant teams in the country. This unofficial Club Atlético Peñarol fan flag (Spanish: bandera no oficial de Club Atlético Peñarol) features the club's official emblem centered on a yellow-and-black vertically striped background, a design inspired by the team's traditional home jersey and its iconic color identity.
The club's emblem has remained largely consistent throughout its history, preserving its original colors and symbolic elements. Designed by architect Constante Facello, the shield features a composition of five black stripes and four yellow stripes, a pattern inspired in part by the design of the Uruguayan flag and closely tied to the club's identity. In the upper section of the crest, a black field contains eleven yellow stars, each representing one of the eleven players on the pitch, emphasizing unity and teamwork. The bold combination of yellow and black conveys strength, energy, and visibility, making the emblem instantly recognizable. Altogether, the design reflects Peñarol's rich heritage and enduring tradition, symbolizing both its historical roots and its lasting influence in Uruguayan football.
