Wear the badge with pride...
9 Football Club Badges From Around The World That We Like
1. Benoni Premier United (South Africa)
Cute bunny rabbit but with a slogan like that, who needs myxomatosis?
2. Hello United (Cameroon)
What a splendidly cheery name. Simple but effective...
3. Newcastle United Jets (Australia)
Look - they've got their own aerobatic display team and everything!
4. Laval Dynamites (Canada)
Any badge that features a football with its black patches being blown off can't be all bad in our book...
5. Lorient (France)
It's a performing fish! Or is it a shark? I suppose it could be a salmon of some sort...
6. JS Libreville (Gabon)
Now this is a fine work of art from the modernist era. The tangential offset of the circle from the triangle indicates... something or another.
7. Singapore Armed Forces (Singapore)
More animal tomfoolery - a rhino, no less! Standard line of conversation at the Singapore Armed Forces FC ticket office: "How much do you charge for tickets?"
8. Salgaocar (India)
Another fine artistic piece using a series of stylised S's. For some reason, it reminds us of one of those old-fashioned carpet-beaters...
9. Newell's Old Boys (Argentina)
No, we're not going to say what you thought we were going to say...

Isn't it great to see Leyton Orient doing so well in Ligue Un?
I was just waiting for someone to tell that gag!!!! :-)
Happy to oblige.
This might be the best Friday list ever
Aw shucks, you're making us blush now... :-)
That's one of the things I hate most about MLS, the badges are terrible. (Toronto's isn't that bad, but that was new this year.) They are so cartoonish and that could explain why they play like a bunch of 10 year olds on the pitch. My favorite is Columbus. Who are those people? And I also love "Real" Salt Lake. The nearest hispanic person is in New Mexico and the closest thing they have to royalty is Joseph Smith.
Joseph Smith isn't the royalty of Utah. Jesus is. And what higher brand of royalty is there anywhere? None? That's right.
Real Salt Lake - Jesus' own club. Perhaps they should sign Kaka when he leaves Milan.
Chris B, Adam - tell us who Joseph Smith is...?
He is the true prophet and founder of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints (Mormons). Which constitute about 99.997% of the population of Utah and its capital Salt Lake City. (like in "Big Love", if that program is being shown in England.)
Thanks for the explanation, Chris B. It all makes sense now!
