Football clubs commonly have an abbreviation or nickname and this article will glimpse at a few excellent examples.
Argentina has about the most famous international teams, which contains arguably the greatest athlete of all time, but the domestic division is less best known. There is one hugely competitive derby in the division, but that is not the only interesting thing in the league; one of the clubs, which is in La Plata, is identified as ‘The Rat Stabbers’. The unique name originates from the fact there is a impressive medical school in the city where they would test on rats in the past. This name must be the oddest there is, but the club is really about the most successful and they even have a stadium that can hold more people than many premier league clubs. The team has won the South American top club competition 4 times which makes it one of the best teams in Argentina, some thing the Estudiantes de La Plata owner would be exceedingly proud of.
A relatively small football team in the leading division of the Spanish division has just about the most funny nicknames in world football, but it is a label that the group holds dear. Los Pepineros, which translates to ‘the cucumbers’ play in one of the suburbs of Madrid. The suburb was its own community a number of years earlier and it was where many of the growers that worked in the area lived and, of course, they chiefly grew cucumbers. The amusing name doesn't indicate the club itself is any type of joke, as the Leganés owner would confirm, the team has made a tremendous range of funds since establishing itself in the highly profitable Spanish leading division. The team and the town have come a long way since their cucumber harvesting days.
Italian football is world popular, but some of the names of the clubs aren't so known. One of the most renowned teams to ever play in Italy through the 90’s was also known as the Rossoneri or Diavolo, the former means the red and blacks, while the latter means The Devil. The first label has relatively evident connotations, which is of course from the colors of their home strip. The brand-new AC Milan owner has taken over a club well-known for its significant football teams, but also for its iconic soccer strip. The kit, which is akin to the football club logo, is made up of vertical black and red stripes with white shorts. The shirt hasn't altered too much over many years, in contrast to some other teams, which has helped to make it so recognisable all around the world. The accomplishments of the team as one of the best football clubs in Europe has helped to circulate the sales of the shirt to every corner of the world.
