Club History: Real Valladolid Club de Fútbol, S.A.D., commonly known as Real Valladolid, calls Valladolid in Castile and León its home. Making its debut in La Liga during the 1948–49 season, Real Valladolid earned the distinction of being the first club from the region to grace the top-flight league. With a rich history and numerous honors, the club stands as the most successful football team in Castile and León. Throughout the 21st century, Real Valladolid has exhibited a pattern akin to a yo-yo club in domestic competitions, experiencing multiple promotions to and relegations from the first division.
Crest: Despite the fluctuations, the club’s commitment to excellence remains unwavering. Real Valladolid’s crest has evolved over time but has always maintained elements reminiscent of the city’s coat of arms. Featuring a closed crown inherited from the Real Union Deportiva, five flames, and five castles representing the region of Castile, along with six violet and white stripes symbolizing the club’s traditional colors, the crest embodies the essence of Real Valladolid. In its latest iteration, the crest pays homage to the city of Valladolid through various intricate details. The incorporation of the new corporate typography, named Pucela after the city’s nickname, and the revamped color scheme, including the yellow-and-red flame intertwined with the city’s history, adds depth and significance to the emblem.
