The club was founded in Thessaloniki, March 25, 1914 and were named after the mythological God of War as its founders reasoned that "only a god could defeat a demi-god (Iraklis, the other city team - Iraklis meaning Hercules )".
The emblem of the team is the god of war resting, always on guard to fight if necessary. The colors of the team are yellow and black, reminiscent of Byzantium, where Thessaloniki has always been the second most important city of the Empire.
Distinctions came early as Aris won the Salonica championship in 1928 and proceeded to defeat the champions of Athens (Atromitos) and the champions of Piraeus (Ethnikos) to win the first ever Greek football championship.
Since then Aris have had their ups and downs and were relegated in 2005 to the B' Division for only the second time in their history.
In 2006, under coach Nikos Anastopoulos, Aris made a triumphant return to the First Division.
