- 2019 In advance of its 20th season, the club introduced a color split logo (half of the face featured the old palette, while the other half featured the gray and black color scheme).
- For the 25th season (2019), the team returned to a logo with the original color scheme and the lettering “25th season Warriors.” 2020 — Today The redesign of 2020 kept the main part of the Warriors’ visual identity untouched, leaving the fancy mask as it was and its bright green, white and blue color palette unchanged.
- The “Warriors” wordmark is still arched under the badge but is now written in solid blue letters of a slightly narrowed sans-serif typeface with a strong character.
- Colors During its first years, the club used blue, white, red, and green as its official colors.
- In 2002, the team colors changed to black and gray.
