Team Identity
[edit]- Motto: Dil Dil Mein Redz
- Core Values: Power, Pride, and Purpose
The name Delhi Redz draws its inspiration from the Red Fort, a powerful symbol of Delhi's resilience and strength. The bold use of "Red" pays tribute to the historic red sandstone monument, while symbolizing energy, dominance, and legacy. The "Z" in Redz is derived from RMZ—the parent organization—and stands for Zenith, representing the peak of ambition and excellence.
The Delhi Redz logo incorporates themes of heritage and ambition. The color red denotes power, authority, and emotional intensity, while the stylized "Z" adds a contemporary edge, linking the brand with RMZ’s identity and its forward-looking vision.
- Red: Signifies strength, resilience, and energy.
- Z: Symbolizes Zenith, the highest point—indicating aspiration and high performance.
The team’s philosophy centers around belonging, unity, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Each game is seen as an opportunity to showcase the spirit of Delhi and to build a stronger, more inclusive future for rugby in India.
