Football clubs often have an abbreviation or nickname and this article will glimpse at a couple of awesome examples.
Argentina has one of the most popular international teams, which contains perhaps the perfect footballer of all time, but the domestic division is not so well known. There is one hugely competitive derby in the division, but that is not the only appealing thing in the division; one of the clubs, which is in La Plata, is known as ‘The Rat Stabbers’. The uncommon name originates from the fact there is a important medical school in the city where they would test on rats in the past. This name must be the oddest there is, but the team is really about the most effective and they even have a ground 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, something the Estudiantes de La Plata owner would be very proud of.
Italian football is world well-known, but some of the names of the clubs will not be so known. One of the most famous teams to ever perform 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 1st name has rather evident connotations, which is of course from the colors of their home strip. The new AC Milan owner has taken over a team popular for its historic football teams, but also for its famous football strip. The kit, which is similar to the football club logo, consists of vertical black and red stripes with white shorts. The shirt hasn't transformed too much over many years, unlike some other teams, which has helped to help it become 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 each corner of the planet.
A fairly small football team in the leading division of the Spanish league has about the most humorous nicknames in world soccer, but it is a name that the team holds dear. Los Pepineros, which equates to ‘the cucumbers’ play in one of the suburbs of Madrid. The area was its own community many years earlier and it was where a lot of the commercial farmers that worked in the area lived and, of course, they mostly farmed cucumbers. The amusing name does not mean the team itself is any type of joke, as the Leganés owner would confirm, the club has made an important amount of funds since establishing itself in the lucrative Spanish top league. The team and the town have come a long way since their cucumber growing days.
