The Palermo Museum, inside “Renzo Barbera” Stadium, is a journey into the history of the rosanero club, through jerseys, memorabilia, photos, newspapers, audiovisual content, works of art, high-tech interactive experiences and more.
An iconic place, inaugurated on 1st November 2020, on the 120th anniversary of the rosanero club, and realised thanks to the extraordinary contribution of fans from all over the world. With a special call, on an international level, Palermo FC has in fact called together fans and collectionists, who have provided unique and unobtainable memorabilia of inestimable value.
In the museum, there is also a special area dedicated to the Rosanero Hall of fame: a selection of 11 players + 1 coach chosen by the fans as the most representative in Palermo FC’s history.
In recent years, the Palermo Museum has received members of the institutions, footballers and former footballers, a delegation from the FIGC led by president Gabriele Gravina, managers – including those from opposing teams, who are at the museum every home pre-match – journalists, artists and exponents from the world of entertainment, tourists, students… right up to the extraordinary visit of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella. The “home of Palermo” is therefore a space shared with all those who love football and its history: anyone who cares about football is welcomed.
The exhibition, curated by Museum Director Giovanni Tarantino, created a thematic itinerary through all facets of the history of the rosanero colours, alongside installations and interactive experiences.

OUR HISTORY ON OUR CHEST
Scroll down to see how our crets has changed over the years
1920
A blue-and-white shield with a diagonal band inside which beared the inscription “Palermo Fbc”. Below, an enigmatic caption: «Established in 1898». The logo design was conceived in 1920 by the president of the time, Valentino Colombo. White and blue were the colors of Racing Fbc.
1921
It was Colombo himself who in 1921 changed the colors of the crest, from white and blue to pink and black – the color of the Palermo jersey since 1907 – while maintaining the same structure of the logo, which is always the two-tone shield with the wording Palermo Fbc and the inscription «Established in 1898».
1929
The second change of crest took place in 1929. Elected in July of that year, the new president, Baron Luigi Bordonaro di Gebbiarossa, commissioned Giuseppe Rizzo, a futurist painter from Corleone, to design the new logo. A rosanero rhombus, with the words Palermo F.C. inside, superimposed on a circle representing the stylisation of a 1920s-style leather football.
1932
In July 1929 Palermo had changed president, with Baron Luigi Bordonaro di Gebbiarossa at the top, who entrusted Giuseppe Rizzo, a futurist painter from Corleone in great esteem at the time, with the creation of the new brand, a pink and black rhombus with a stylized ball.
1947
On the occasion of the first season in Serie A in the history of Palermo, the two-tone rosanero shield of the early days returned, with a significant addition. The golden eagle, the municipal emblem of the city of Palermo since the time of William I, made its appearance for the first time.
1979
It was the moment for the crowned eagle. This brand was desired by Baron Stefano La Motta, who was not even thirty when he took over the presidency of Palermo. Conceived after the fall of fascism, it “lowers” its wings with respect to the previous one and rests on a base inside which the initials SPQP are inscribed.
1987
One of the most successful symbols, created at the same time as the Pouchain jersey, had won over the hearts of the fans. It was a stylized black eagle with a pink collar, looking to the right, inscribed in a green rhombus. Official emblem for the team since 1982.
1991
With the re-foundation, inevitably, a new symbol was created for the newborn Unione Sportiva Palermo. Salvino Lagumina opted for the shield. Inside, a stylized white eagle which, compared to all the previous ones, looks to the left. The eagle is inserted in a pink and black diagonal two-tone band.
1998
The Ferrara-Polizzi management duo decided to change again. A trademark was created consisting of an eagle with spread wings, about to take flight, which rested on a shield with pink and black vertical stripes. Below the inscription Us Palermo which completed a pink and black circle.
2000
New logo, due to a new sponsorship agreement with the Municipality of Palermo. The eagle was no longer the one with spread wings, but the municipal effigy. The shield with vertical rosanero stripes on which it rested remained, even if it took on a more elongated shape than the previous one.
2019
It is the symbol with which Zamparini’s Palermo returned to Serie A, it climbed positions in football that counted until it became known in Europe, but which was created by Ferruccio Barbera under the management of Sensi and D’Antoni. It was a golden eagle depicted in profile while landing.
