Update: Arminia Bielefeld has now finally informed fans that they have changed the previous dark blue in the logo in public representations into a light blue, as part of a new visual identity.
The club underlined that there is not a traditional Arminia blue but that they have been using different shades of blue during their history, with the light blue being used actually very often in the history.
The blue will now be voted on at the Annual General Meeting on December 3. It is not clear whether this is also in connection with the fact that this season for the first time the club does not wear blue jerseys. Arminia Bielefeld also apologized for fans that "they meant it well but did not explain it clearly and transparently".
Regarding the jerseys, we also thought it would be interesting to try and apply the new shade of blue to the old one that's still used on the 2020-21 kits - you can see the comparison for both the home and away below.

The modification of the Arminia Bielefeld logo is small but remarkable - the blue color is much lighter and brighter than the club's classic blue color.
However, while the change might be minimal for onlooker, fans are not happy. First, they denounce that the club has not yet made any official statement on the club logo's new colors, and second, and more importantly, they do not like the change.
The updated logo colors follow the club having a very uncommon black home jersey instead of the traditional blue, which was also not favored by fans.
