Crest and colours

The club’s namesake and crest pays homage to The Queen’s York Rangers, as well as Toronto and York Region’s predecessors, York, Upper Canada and York County. The crest’s shape is derived from that of The Queen’s York Rangers, a Canadian Army regiment based in Toronto and York Region. A blue element on top of the shield symbolizes Lake Ontario, a body of water that rivers in York Region and Toronto flow into. The shield features a YU monogram and nine vertical stripes, a nod to the club’s nickname “The Nine Stripes”. A crown at the top of the shield represents Canada’s monarchical history. A trillium and a maple leaf are incorporated into the crown’s design, with the former representing Ontario.WEB, Thompson, Marty, December 11, 2020, York United rebrand Q&A with Angus McNab,yorkunitedfc.canpl.ca/article/york-united-rebrand-qa-with-angus-mcnab, December 11, 2020, York United FC, Although the club does insinuate the crest used as inspiration is of the original Town of York, that then became the City of Toronto, the club’s colours of dark green, dark blue, white, and gold, are taken from the coat of arms of the City of York, a former city that was later amalgamated into the new City of Toronto in 1998. Unlike the majority of clubs in the CPL, York typically uses home kits that are primarily white.WEB, Thompson, Marty, 4 things you may have missed from York United iconography,yorkunitedfc.canpl.ca/article/4-things-you-may-have-missed-from-york-united-iconography, York United FC, December 12, 2020, December 11, 2020,

Former crest and colours

(File:York 9 FC logo.svg|thumb|upright|left|The inaugural “York9 FC” logo used during the club’s first two seasons)The club used its original branding while it was known as York9 FC, between 2018 and 2020. The main feature of the crest’s design was nine beams at the top of the crest, one for each municipality in York Region. The upward angle of the bars is a nod to the region’s motto “Ontario’s Rising Star”. A white trillium at the base of the crest recognized Ontario, the province’s floral emblem since 1937.WEB,york9fc.canpl.ca/emblem-inspiration, Emblem Inspiration, May 10, 2018, york9fc.canpl.ca, York 9 FC, June 10, 2018, May 28, 2019,web.archive.org/web/20190528160822/https://york9fc.canpl.ca/emblem-inspiration, dead, The official club colours were light green, grey, and black (branded by the club as “electric green”, “charcoal grey”, and “black on black“).
