Chronicles Of The Crest: AFC Ajax
On the morning of March 18, 1900, Floris Stempel created Football Club Ajax. Quite rare that time in sports, the team launched with their first graphic emblem.
The team's first logo featured an Ajax football player in the center of a circle, with the words "AMST. FOOTBALL-CLUB AJAX" around the outer ring.
The logo changed 11 years later when the team earned their first Erste Klasse title and moved to the top division.
Designers painted the shorts white and added a verticle red stripe to the T-Shirt. In 1928 the owners decided to associate the emblem with the name.
Chronicles Of The Crest: Chelsea FC
With a prominent badge recognized around the world, the history of Chelsea FC is very rich.
Starting in 1905, the team's logo featured a man in an army headdress.
The image was borrowed from the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where veterans of the British army were treated.
From 1952-1953 while the team awaited a new logo, a monogram of the letters "CFC" was used. In 1953, the new logo was complete.
It featured a blue lion taken from the family coat of arms of the Earl Cadogan Club.
In 1986, Ken Bates, the new owner, simplified and madernized the logo.
