Crest

Since the club's foundation, AEK have had three main crests, though all underwent minor variations. In 1924, AEK adopted as their first crest the image of a double-headed eagle (Δικέφαλος Αετός - Dikefalos Aetos), which remained for the next half-century, on a golden yellow background. The double-headed eagle is a common symbol in Heraldry and Vexillology. Gold, also called golden, is a Yellowish orange Color which is a representation of the color of the element When AEK was created by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the years following the Greco-Turkish War and subsequent population exchange, the emblem and colours were chosen as a reminder of lost homelands; they represent the club's historical ties to Constantinople.

The Greek Orthodox Church ( Greek: Ἑλληνορθόδοξη Ἐκκλησία Hellēnorthódoxē Ekklēsía) is formed by several autocephalous churches In modern Greece various variations of the two-headed eagles are used in Church flags (based on Byzantine flag patterns and heraldic emblems) and, officially, by the Greek Army; the bird found its way into the Greek coat of arms for a brief period in 1925-1926. For most of its history the Byzantine Empire did not know or use Heraldry in the West European sense ^[19]

AEK have always worn predominantly yellow shirts (striped or plain), black shorts, and yellow or black socks. The only exception has been in the unusual, but notable, Kappa kits of the 1990s (which featured a double-headed eagle across the kit), or in recent years, mainly in European competitions, when the club has worn an all-yellow kit. Kappa is an Italian clothing company that started as a sock and underwear manufacturer in 1916 in Turin.

AEK's traditional away colours are all-black or all-white; on a few occasions, the club has introduced a light blue or a grey kit as a third kit. In Greece there are no Home and Away kits, per se. Teams always wear their 1st kit unless there is a resemblance between both team kits. In case of a colour clash, the home team usually wears one of its alternate kits; AEK has often worn their 3rd kit at home against other teams that wear yellow kits.

AEK's current kit is manufactured by Puma, which is contracted to supply the club's kit from 2007 to 2011.
