Since the beginning of the club NK Olimpija has been playing with the combination of green and white, which were the main colours of the old NK Olimpija. Today Olimpija plays in white at home and in green colors away. The Kit manufacturer is Virma.
The dragon in the crest is taken from the famous Greek myth The Quest for the Golden Fleece, which is a legend about the creation of the city of Ljubljana. Usage mythical creature can be attributed to academic roots of the club. The dragon represents power, courage, and greatness. The dragon is the symbol of the city of Ljubljana. It can also be found on its coat of arms, sitting at the top of Ljubljana Castle, like the one in Olimpija's old crest. Regarding the old crest including only head of dragon was not popular among the fans, in 2010 club presented new one.

Famous quotes containing the words club, colours and/or crest:
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 44 (February 1870)
“Your wits can’t thicken in that soft moist air, on those white springy roads, in those misty rushes and brown bogs, on those hillsides of granite rocks and magenta heather. You’ve no such colours in the sky, no such lure in the distances, no such sadness in the evenings. Oh the dreaming! the dreaming! the torturing, heart-scalding, never satisfying dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
