Pateadores is a Spanish slang term that means "kickers". The colors for
the Pateadores Soccer Club have been blue and yellow since the inception
of the club in 1987. The crest was adopted in 1989 and is outlined in
yellow surrounding the blue and white crest. The black swan was added to
the crest in 1995. This is to symbolize the club's unique style of
play, which is aggressive, territorial, and graceful. The swan's
segments represent the 4 original founding teams in the club; U19, U17,
U16, and U15. The initials at the bottom of the crest, RMO, are a
tribute to Robert M. O'Leary, the original Director and Head Coach of
the Pateadores Soccer Club. |
