Colors and badge

The original colors and badge invoked its Portuguese identity and were related, along with the local club Casa Estrella del Benfica, with the Portuguese club Benfica. The traditional club colors were red and black, thus given the club's nickname encarnados (the red ones), and the badge was a minor variation of the Benfica's sports club.
