The neglect was likely due to managerial inexperience. The club had neglected to seek legal protection for its East German crest after German reunification. But the club was no longer in possession of the crest. īFC Dynamo reclaimed its East German crest when the club reverted to its original name on. The second crest featured a stylized image of a football with the Brandenburg Gate on top and the lettering "FCB" and the club name "FC Berlin" in red on a white background. It was only used during the spring of 1990. The first crest featured a stylized image of the roof of the Brandenburg Gate with the lettering "FCB" underneath and the club name "Fussballclub Berlin" in white on a red background.

The club played in red and white home kits for most of the FC Berlin era, but wore a black and red striped home shirt, paired with black shorts and black socks from the 1996–97 season through the 1998–99 season. The club was rebranded as FC Berlin on 19 February 1990 and subsequently adopted a new red and white colour scheme in the 1990–91 season. The team is occasionally nicknamed "die Weinroten", which means "the Clarets". The home kit has traditionally been a claret shirt, paired with claret or white shorts and socks. BFC Dynamo has been playing in claret and white since its founding, with the exception of a period in the 1990s. The colours were inherited from SC Dynamo Berlin and followed the claret colour scheme of SV Dynamo. The traditional colours of BFC Dynamo are claret and white.
