The emblem of the League is an elegant variation of the Breton ermine spot, whose lower part is shaped like a blue and red sailboat. The three lozenges of the ermine spot are blue on the emblem; however, on the flag, the upper lozenge is blue while the two other are red. The colors of the lozenges are confirmed by D. Kervella and M. Bodlore-Penlaez (Guide des drapeaux bretons et celtes)
