The Brigadas Amarillas tie their colours very firmly to the Antifa mast.

Ultras Aufkleber of the Week – York City
This week’s design comes from the Minstermen, named after York’s giant ecclesiastical edifice that stands close to the site where Constantine was proclaimed as the Roman Emperor thousands of years ago. We couldn’t care less for the city’s greatness however, and decided to stick our own Aufkleber on top of this one after taking this photo.

All Cadistas Are Bastards
Local resentment for Cádiz fans can be seen across the whole of Jerez de la Frontera. Spray tags, fan stickers and other visible manifestations of dislike of their rivals to the South are abundant, wherever you turn. Yet in Cádiz itself, a keen-eye struggles to Continue reading
The Miramar Rangers
The small settlement of Miramar to the East of Wellington feels a world away from New Zealand’s capital, yet has miraculously come to occupy a crucial part within the city’s Football scene. As such, former notions of segregation that Continue reading
L’Orgull Del Poble
UE Sant Andreu first came into this blog’s consciousness during a brief visit to Madrid. The 2nd of 3 Copa Del Rey fixures in 3 consecutive days saw Club Atlético de Madrid compete at home to Sant Andreu, a team dressed in a very brash yellow top with four vertically dissecting red stripes. In the face of the Football club that Continue reading
Ultras Aufkleber of the Week – Selangor
Selangor FA of the Malaysian Super League are close neighbours and big rivals of Kuala Lumpur FA, with whom they contest the “Klang Valley Derby”. Kuala Lumpur, being a relatively young city, is viewed as a place lacking in culture inhabited by economic migrants with little history by the rowdy fans of Selangor next door. Thanks to KLFA’s recent promotion to the MSL, old scores are being settled in the Klang Valley Derby this season.
Not the most inspirational of designs, but a curious club nonetheless.

Sticker Plaque At Tiki Taka
After photographing our FBTG Aufkleber stuck onto an arbitrary sign in front of La Sagrada Familia, I retired from Spain’s most famous Cathedral (sorry Burgos) to get away from all the snap happy tourists. Energy drink in hand and happily in the shade, I perused the countless souvenir shops that compete to take your Euros away from you, stopping to enjoy a selection of dolls dressed in blue and red that were apparently supposed to represent current FC Barcelona players. Luis Suarez‘s teeth were a bit Continue reading
El Not-Quite-So Clásico
The black shorts are purposefully featureless so as to not draw attention away from the design up top. 5 off-centre red stripes vertically dissecting an otherwise entirely sunflower yellow jersey achieve an unconventional look, while a scribbly font identifies player names on the back, also in jet black. The effect is retro, stunning, and very conspicuous. As the wearers consign themselves to a likely defeat, the least they can do is make a scene. The travelling fans appreciate the effort. A chorus of boos, whistles and cheers answers their slow chants sung in clear Catalan, just in case you didn’t get the message behind the shirt design. Spanish flags are raised, brandished toward the away block. “Plus Ultra”, the Continue reading
