Many football teams draw their slogans from animals. Some of these animals are associated with the geographical area of the club, and sometimes there is a story linking the features of one animal to another. Vicky enemies, this report looks for these relationships between animals and clubs.
Wolves of Rome
The myth of the creation of the city of Rome in the eighth century BC is reminiscent of the establishment of a metropolitan club in 1927. The legend says that the Lord of the Wind "March" married the priestess Ria Silvia, and the twins Romulus and Remus, but the wicked uncle Amuleus was forced The mother threw her two children at the River Tiber (the current location of Rome), and stole the throne of her father Numitor. The fate of the two children survived when they found a lupus to feed them and saved them from death, until they found a shepherd supervised the breeding of twins until they knew and knew their stories. The myth continues later, Romulus and Remus return to kill the uncle of their wicked mother, return the kingdom to Grandfather Numitore, and then decide to build their kingdom at the river, and here arose Rome.
This legendary myth inspired the construction of a club that limits the control of Turin, Genoa and Milan to Italian championships. The club began with the lupus and the two children as its motto, but the achievement of the championships was delayed for a long time. It did not win the league until nearly 15 years after it was established in the year 1942. The club did not win many trophies. The league was limited to three tournaments, most recently with Fabio Capello. 2001, and continued the strength of Milan and Turin on the Italian ball, and the failure of the wolves capital, while succeeded Romulus and Ramos.
Valencia bat
In 2013, Valencia became a list of Batman's enemies after DC Comics said the bat in the club's logo resembled Batman's "The Dark Knight." But the historical fact is that the midlife bats used this slogan in 1919, 20 years before the appearance of personality Batman!
The relationship between the bat and the city of Valencia (Valencia in the ancient Arabic name in Andalusia) dates back centuries. The Spanish city has been a natural habitat for bats for centuries. The popular story says King Jaime I of Aragon was preparing his armies to liberate Valencia from the rule of the Mor, and while there is a crane, his vision put a bat on it, they saw it as a sign of good luck. After his victory and the declaration of his kingdom, the bat became everywhere in the city, In the 14th century, until now every place in Valencia bears the bat tag, even Valencia's traditional club Levante has the logo of the bat.
Duke of Spears
Over the past years, the motto of the cock has been a permanent feature of the subsequent ridicule of Tottenham Hotspur by his opponents. Instead of talking about cocks or spears, the title of "chicken" appears. Why Hotspur? In the middle of the late 14th century, Henry Percy appeared as one of the heroes of the War of England and Scotland. His title was Harry Hotspur. The Spur was the spur of the Persians. Tottenham was named "Tammuz" when the club's managers met to choose his name, Up to what Lord Hotspur accomplished.
Why the cocks? The answer also goes back to Henri Percy, who owned the Diocca wrestling, and from here came the slogan, which has not changed throughout history. Since 1909, Tottenham has not given up the shape of the cock in his logo, which has been changed 4 times, the last of which was 2006. football!
Despite the jokes that did not stop over all these decades, the Spurs are so proud of this slogan that in 2013 they forced one of the amateur league teams, Fleet Spears, to abandon his new motto to match him to Dick Tottenham. We find that his page got through Facebook only 300 fans!
Juventus .. Zebra
The title of the "wild donkeys" is one of the forgotten titles of the Italian team Juventus, and the story is an old story dating back to the beginning of the twentieth century, before the famous dress of the Albiconeri was the color of pink shirts team, and designed this outfit one of the parents of the players that, Frequent washing of the shirt with colors is easy to dirty, leading to loss of original color!
The club asked a member of the team, John Savage, to ask some of his acquaintances in England about the possibility of proposing alternative color, and then came the design of the black and white lines spread in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. Since then the color of the famous Bianconeri has not changed since she disappeared from England. We do not see anything like the colors of the Newcastle shirt. Yevi became famous after the title of "Zebras" .. The donkeys planned black and white.
Although the natural environment of this animal is the continent of Africa, and although not in Europe, the logo of Juventus officially turned into a zebra, until the new logo appeared with the image of the bull animal in the early nineties. The bull is the emblem of the city of Turin and is also the logo of Turin's traditional rivals of the city's Juventus. In 2015, "J Zebra" appeared as part of a children's project initiated by the club, and in the same year the mascot of this character appeared at the Juventus stadium in September.
The Phoenix of Liverpool
They say that Liverpool can give up all their features but can not give up the red and the phoenix logo because Bill Shankly will not agree. The Great Scots once entered the dressing room and asked his players to wear red shorts instead of white. And makes the players look longer, one of the players suggested that they wear red socks also, and here was born the idea of red and old.
We can consider the flyer, located in the Liverpool logo and the official logo of the city, to be the English version of the legendary phoenix. The old pictures of this bird are in the seals of the city's rulers in the thirteenth century. The bird is not present in England so we can verify its origin, but according to some interpretations it is an eagle-like bird. The folk tale tells us that the statue of the city's livery is a sign of protection, because if you are an individual and leave Liverpool, that means something terrible will happen to the city.
It is a symbol of the gates of Shankly, the great coach who started the Great Reed of the 1960s and contains two blasts that symbolize the 96 victims of the famous Hillsborough accident . There is the famous "You Will Never Walk Alone" The audience sings its song before the beginning of each match, and there is the bird of the lair .. the sign of eternal loyalty, and the tranquility of the city and the club.
