## Team image

### Crest and colours

Sukhothai's identity is closely linked to the historical and cultural heritage of Sukhothai, Thailand's first capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The club crest prominently features a stylised depiction of a temple spire, inspired by Sukhothai's ancient architecture, symbolising history, tradition and pride. The design reflects the province's role as the birthplace of Thai civilisation and emphasises the club's connection to its local roots.

The club's primary colours revolves around their core colors of orange. Orange represents energy, passion and determination, reflecting the fighting spirit of the team and its supporters. These colours are consistently used across the club's home and away kits, as well as in its branding and merchandise, reinforcing Sukhothai's distinct and recognisable image within Thai football. In 2023, Sukhothai changed their primary home kit colour from orange to wine red, marking a notable departure from the club's traditional colour identity. The change was made as a special design choice to refresh the club's visual identity, with the wine red colour inspired by the historical and cultural significance of Sukhothai, symbolising heritage, dignity and a deeper connection to the province's past with the club logo being monochrome on the home kit.
