The team competes in the Azerbaijan Premier League, the top tier of the Azerbaijan football league system, and is one of the country's popular teams. This unofficial Neftçi PFK flag (Azerbaijani: Neftçi PFK-nın qeyri-rəsmi bayrağı) features the club's official emblem centered on a white-and-black vertically divided background, a design derived from the team's traditional home kit and the club's visual identity.

The Neftçi PFK logo is based on a white shield with a thick black border and features a large stylized black letter "N", the initial of the club's name, positioned in front of a prominent black oil derrick. The angular geometric elements of the derrick recall the oil rigs that have long been associated with Baku and its historic oil industry, honoring the oil workers who founded the club in 1937. The name Neftçi means "Oil Worker", while the club was historically known as "Neftyanik" in Russian. Beneath the central imagery is the founding year "1937", marking the official establishment of the football club in Baku. The modern shield outline is inspired by the club's classic 1949–1976 emblem, while a gold star positioned above the shield represents the club's championship titles. The traditional black-and-white colors also reflect the region's historic association with "black gold", referring to oil, and "white gold", referring to cotton, both of which played an important role in the region's economic and cultural identity when the club was established. Together, the letter "N", oil derrick, shield, founding year, black-and-white palette, and championship star connect Neftçi's football identity with the industrial heritage of Baku and the club's origins among the city's oil workers.
