THE STORY OF ERREÀ LOGO

OUR INITIALS
OUR ROOTS

The Erreà logo was born from an authentic story of family, passion and sport.


A name created from the initials R + A, carrying the identity and heritage of our brand.

THE ORIGINS

R + A = ERREÀ

Some stories begin long before they are told.
Ours starts with two letters: R e A.

The initials of the Gandolfi family, which over time became much more than a name: a true symbol of Italian teamwear and sportswear excellence.

Pronounced together, they become Erreà: a distinctive and instantly recognisable name that, since 1988, has accompanied athletes, teams and clubs around the world while remaining firmly rooted in Parma, Italy.

1988: the origins of the brand

 

The very first version of the Erreà logo was created alongside the company itself, founded by the Gandolfi family.

Its original design featured bolder lines and a classic typeface, developed to be accurately embroidered onto the earliest match kits. It marked the beginning of a journey driven by Italian craftsmanship, innovation and a passion for sport.

The 1990s and 2000s: International expansion

 

As Erreà became technical sponsor of leading European football, volleyball and basketball teams, the logo evolved to meet new visibility and performance requirements.

The shapes were refined and made more dynamic, ensuring immediate recognition both in stadiums and on television.

During this period, the iconic pictogram also began to appear independently from the "Erreà" wordmark, establishing itself as a distinctive symbol of the brand.

The current Logo: minimal design, digital performance

 

Modern sport demands versatility. Today's Erreà logo embraces the principles of clean and functional design, ensuring maximum visibility across digital platforms, social media and sports apparel applications.

Its streamlined geometry not only enhances on-screen performance but also adapts perfectly to modern heat-transfer and sublimation printing techniques used on our OEKO-TEX® certified technical fabrics.
