Made by the brave.For the brave.

In early 2023, during a harsh winter and spring marked by a full-scale invasion from our largest neighbor, we found ourselves contemplating the future. We pondered the future of our country, the process of rebuilding, and how to reintegrate sports as a fundamental aspect of Ukraine’s future society.

Out of these reflections, the Kyiv Capitals were born — a club that embodies Ukraine’s vibrant culture and rich sports history. Our club stands as a symbol of strength, diversity, the unwavering determination of athletes, and the solidarity of our community.

our city

Ukraine, on the western fringe of the Eurasian steppe, has a rich history as a gateway to Europe. This gateway has embodied both openness, facilitating the flow of people, goods, and ideas, and fortification, safeguarding against foreign invasions. Kyiv, as the capital, exemplifies this legacy. The city has consistently functioned as both a symbolic triumphal entrance and the official gateway to the country.

triangle

The inverted triangle is a nod to Kyiv’s coat of arms, designed in the late 1960s, and to the unofficial emblem of Kyiv, representing the city of chestnut trees in full bloom.

Kyiv’s coat of arms featured a shield divided into two sections. At its center, a blossoming chestnut branch and an arrow were depicted, representing Kyiv’s historical symbolism.

crossbow

The first known coat of arms of Kyiv depicts a bow with an arrow, as seen in Konrad Grünberg’s 1480 armorial.

This emblem symbolizes the enduring need for the people of Kyiv to defend themselves from enemy attacks, a sentiment echoed in European heraldry where the bow represents regions in a state of war.
