Sorry if some of these were posted before, but here are some more South American badges- they have a simplicity to them that I really, really love- only Italian badges really come close, imo.








Oh, and I just found out that the current Chilean champions are the wonderfully named O'Higgins F.C., so that's something.

The K League crests and logos were a bit boring for the most part, but there were a couple that caught my eye.


Ulsan Hyundai





Police FC




Sangju Sangmu FC, which is basically the military team





And since the J League crests came up earlier, I thought it remiss not to post this one.



It was the crest for the Yokohama Flügels, one of the original J League clubs which was dissolved and absorbed into Yokohama Marinos, who were then renamed Yokohama F. Marinos. The Flügels would go out winners though, ending their existence with a fairy tale win in the 1998 Emperor's Cup final that was played on New Year's Day, 1999.

The Marinos crest remained largely unchanged, bar the text.

You should hear my accent.
Persepolis and Esteghlal are the Rangers and Celtic of Iran. You can read more about their rivalry here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorkhabi_derby

Persepolis FC is the older club and has a larger following that is mainly working class.

Their crest used to be this, but then the Revolution happened and showing an Achaemenid emperor on your shirt wasn't a good idea.



For the next couple of decades, the club had to fight against multiple official efforts to change the name of the club, but the club and the staff managed to resist those moves and the new names never stuck. Still, you can only antagonize the Islamic Republic but so much, so now the crest looks like this:




Esteghlal FC was founded by a group of military officers. They used to be named Taj and had this as an emblem:



The Shah and a lot of the ruling elites were supporters of Taj.

Unfortunately, "Taj" means "crown" in Farsi, so once the Revolution drove the Shah out of power, the government made Taj change its name to Esteghlal (which means "independence") and that name change was definitely mandatory. The club also had to alter the crest.

Their crest now looks like this:



Unlike the Manchester City shield, Esteghlal's stars stand for real trophies (the club's two Asian Cups from 1970 and 1991).

Despite the name and crest change, Esteghlal still has a more upper class fanbase and their fans say all sorts of hilariously snobby things about Persepolis fans. It's quite funny to watch.

To be fair, City has a league title for each of those stars. Granted, they were won in 1937, 1968, and 2012. But they're still top division titles. You don't reset your history when the Premier League comes into existance.

Yeah, but City added those 3 stars in 1997 for looks. That was long before they won that 3rd title.

I don't mind City, but that is kind of lame.

It's too bad they had to change it from this one for trademark protection reasons.

The Corinthians crest made me look at a few Brazilian club crests and there were a few good ones.


Bahia


Vasco da Gama


Boa Esporte


Nautico


Sport


Brasiliense



With the exception of Bahia, they all play in the 2nd and 3rd division.
