Lore & Background

The Eiffel Tower crest belongs to Paris Saint-Germain's early history. Designed in 1970, it combined the Eiffel Tower, a baby's cradle (for Saint-Germain-en-Laye, birthplace of Louis XIV), and a fleur-de-lis. After PSG's split in 1972, Paris FC adopted a different identity, while PSG kept the Eiffel Tower motif in later iterations.
