Possibly Virtua Striker lol

Gun game - I remember I used to annoy my school mate of chronically with that game at Freo Timezone as he would try to play some proper passing game shit.

All I would do is get into 1970’s Leeds in that game was Boot the ball and try to win Corners.

As somehow I caught on to some sort of button combo/game glitch that resulted in my side heading in a goal of 8/10 Corners.

As a retard, this was as good as it got for me with comp Video Games.

Always loved the European Magpie on the NUFC stuff, I dont think a lot of Aussies know when NUFC are referred to as the Magpies - They actually mean literally a different bird to the Collingwood one.

Yes I recently was explaining to a mate of mine who is an avid Collingwood supporter that they were two separate birds.

Do really like the last logo before the current one. I managed to win this NUFC for around $140 on auction, very rapped with it. Probably will the pride of my kit collection once it arrives.

So with discussion going on in the Brisbane Roar thread regarding badges, I thought I would find some interesting ones and give this thread a bump.

 

I have never actually looked at Roma's badge very closely, and when I did I was pretty shocked.

Yes. It is a dog thing breast feeding some children. 

 

But to be more specific it is based on a very old sculpture called the Capitoline Wolf. Interesting stuff

 

 

The Capitoline Wolf (Italian: Lupa Capitolina) is a bronze sculpture of a she-wolf suckling twin infants, inspired by the legend of the founding of Rome. According to the legend, whenNumitor, grandfather of the twins Romulus and Remus, was overthrown by his brother Amulius, the usurper ordered the twins to be cast into the Tiber River. They were rescued by a she-wolf who cared for them until a herdsman, Faustulus, found and raised them. The Capitoline Wolf has been housed since 1471 in the Palazzo dei Conservatori on theCampidoglio (the ancient Capitoline Hill), Rome, Italy.

The age and origin of the Capitoline Wolf is a subject of controversy. The statue was long thought to be an Etruscan work of the 5th century BC,[1] with the twins added in the late 15th century AD, probably by the sculptor Antonio Pollaiolo.[2] However, radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dating has found that the wolf portion of the statue was likely cast between 1021 and 1153.[3]

Here's another one. Lincoln City's badge was always one that I never really paid any attention to. I just thought it was some weird yellow thing. Maybe a guy. Maybe some sort of animal. I dont know. I just smash them on FIFA and move on.

Something else I overlooked was their nickname The Imps. Turns out an imp is the symbol of the city and imps apparently roamed the north of England causing a lot mischief a long time ago. Anyway. They have changed their badge to this (a variation on an old badge). Its fucking disturbing.

I didnt actually believe it until I saw it on their official website.

The club itself are actually known as the wolves, too.

The image is more about the story of Romulus and Remus rather than the wolf though, as that is the legend of how the city of Rome was founded.

Edit: I know it says that in your post, just thought I'd make it a bit clearer.

I have said it before about this one...

But you just picture a small boardroom full of cigar smoke and someone saying in Italian asking "Nonno they say we need to be more Aussie" with our Crest.

 

And Nonno replying "Use a Aussie Flying Stick Thing"... and nobody in the room being prepared to disagree with his idea.

This was probably the result of a similar process...

Pretty sure that decision was made when PPL flocked to the Tennis Centre to see this in action...
