Colours and badge

The colours of the club are black and green, originating from the Venezia shirt. The away kit is usually predominantly white; over the years, the secondary colours have varied from green, red (evoking the same colours of the city of Pordenone banner) and black. In the past, the badge represented the city coat of arms, sometimes with a lizard; more recently, the badge was modernized with a logo representing the letters P and N, identifying the car plate of the province and three waves depicting the river Noncello.
