Portsmouth Football Club Logo Embroidered Patch
Portsmouth F.C. is a professional football club in U.K. The team nickname is “Pompey“. For this logo embroidered patch, it comes with a blue border and the yellow border shield. There is a yellow star and and yellow crescent on the patch. At the bottom of the patch you will find the text says “Portsmouth F.C.”.
I tried to find out more about the meaning of the Pompey logo and here is the information that I found from BigSoccer.com.
The star and crescent on the Pompey badge is the coat of arms of the City of Portsmouth and comes from the seal of Richard I (Richard the Lionheart), who granted the city it’s charter in 1194 when he came back from the crusades.
Richard adopted the star and crescent emblem from Christian Byzantium – he apparently liked the fact that the eight pointed star symbolised the star Regulus from the constellation Leo, which represents the ‘heart of the lion’ .
