ABOUT US:
Pateadores is a Spanish slang term that means “kickers.” The colors for the Pateadores Soccer Club have been blue and yellow since the incepBon 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 iniBals at the boYom of the crest, RMO are a tribute to Robert M O’Leary, the original Director and Head Coach of the Pateadores Soccer Club.
