Summary
"An illustrated exploration of the design, meaning and symbolism of world football club crests. From the royal crown on the crest of Real Madrid to the riveting hammers of West Ham United, via Valencia's bat design and German club St Pauli's skull and cross bones emblem, behind every crest's symbolism lies a story, a tale of identity. Featuring more than 200 club crests from 20 different leagues, World Football Club Crests explains why the badges of the biggest clubs look like they do as well as revealing background to some of the oddest world football emblems and their symbolism, offering a fresh and perspective on the game."--Provided by publisher
