The club's first crest was created in 1910 and consisted of an old blue football with white seams bearing the club name's initials in white. On 26 October 1922, the crest was changed to its present-day appearance after the club approved a design by Augusto Baptista Ferreira (nicknamed "Simplício"), a graphical artist and one of the club's players.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=14}} In his proposal, the city's coat of arms&nbsp;– consisting at the time of a quartered shield (first and fourth quadrants: national arms; second and third quadrants: image of [[Veneration of Mary in Roman Catholicism|Our Lady]] holding [[baby Jesus]] and flanked by two towers holding above a banner with the Latin words ''"Civitas Virginis"'') surrounded by the collar of the [[Order of the Tower and Sword]] and topped by a crown supporting a green dragon with a red banner inscribed with ''"Invicta"'' (Undefeated [city])&nbsp;– was added on top of the old crest, pushing the white letters down.<ref>{{cite web|title=História|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/clube/historia/Pages/historia.aspx|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=27 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref>

In 1906, the club's first official team wore kits with a variety of colors and patterns, which included white shirts with red collars or vertical blue stripes, and even red shirts.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=138}} This indefinition in the equipment was only solved in 1909, when through the initiative of Monteiro da Costa, Porto stipulated in its first statutes that the players had to use "a shirt with blue vertical stripes, black shorts, and personal footwear" as the club's uniform, at every training and match.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=202}}  Some argued that the kit should have included the city colours, green and white.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=138}} Monteiro da Costa, however, defended the blue-and-white combination because he believed the colors "should be those of the [[Flag of Portugal#1830–1910|country's flag]], and not of the city's flag", hoping that the club would "not only defend the good name of the city, but also that of Portugal, in sporting feuds against foreigners."{{sfn|Tovar|2011|p=11}}

In 1975, [[Adidas]] became the first sports apparel manufacturers to provide kits for the club.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=39}} Eight years later, Porto became the first Portuguese team to have a shirt sponsor, after signing a deal with [[Revigrés]] worth 10 million [[Portuguese escudo|escudos]] per year.{{sfn|Bandeira|2012|p=102}} This deal lasted for 20 years, with successive renovations, after which the national communications corporation [[Portugal Telecom]] (PT) became the new shirt sponsors. Still, Revigrés remain as one of the club's main and longest-serving collaborators.<ref>{{cite web|title=Main Partners|url=http://www.fcporto.pt/pt/corporate/partners-club/Pages/main.aspx#ancora_topo|publisher=FC Porto|access-date=30 April 2014|language=pt}}</ref>
