Don’t ask us how but it’s Monday again, so it’s time to bring some more of our favourite football club badges from around the world.
This week we’re poring over 25 of the best of the badges from Australian football; the A-League, the National Soccer League that proceeded it and a few crests roped in from the country’s other various regional leagues too…
1. Perth Glory
Glorious in purple…
2. Newcastle Breakers
Chock full of edgy 90s cool…
3. APIA Tigers
Think there’s something wrong with your tiger mate…
4. Bankstown Berries
Possibly not true fact: Bankstown’s senior side are called ‘The Elder Berries’…
5. Football Kingz FC
As if the name wasn’t naff enough already, they went and spelled it with a ‘Z’…
6. Brunswick Zebras
Can you guess what colours they play in? Go on, guess…
7. Sunshine George Cross
Wasn’t “Sunshine” George Cross a middleweight boxer in the 1930s?
8. Parramatta Power
1-2-3-4, I declare thumb war…
9. Collingwood Warriors
By the power of Grey Skull…
10. Wollongong Wolves
Lovely bit of alliteration…
11. Cockburn City
We really don’t want to know how they came about getting their name…
12. Sydney Olympic FC
Just oozes with pizzazz and/or razzmatazz…
13. Whitsunday Miners
Industrial palm tree mining is obviously big news round Whitsunday way…
14. Dandenong Thunder
Isn’t that the Albanian flag?
15. Northern Spirit FC
Needs more flat caps, whippets and pints of stout if it’s really going to capture the Northern spirit…
16. Melbourne Knights
Sounds like a really crap Aussie soap opera…
17. Lake MacQuarie City
Someone get Tottenham’s legal department on the line…
18. Mindil Padres FC
We’ve got no idea what’s going on here, but we like it…
19. Oakleigh Cannons FC
Really rivaling Arsenal in the ‘cannon crest’ stakes…
20. Granville Rage
You wouldn’t like them when they’re angry…
21. St George Saints
Is it just us or does Saint George look bloody petrified of that little dragon?
22. Manly United
What could be more manly than an eagle preying on a dolphin…
23. Adamstown Rosebuds FC
Don’t go in hard on the Rosebuds if you don’t want to get dirty…

All are welcome here…
