Club Symbols
- White colour - the symbol of fair play and Olympic idea. What a Slavia Prague club official calls the 'cleanliness of sportmanship'and challenges them to an honourable fight in which opponents are not enemies but recognised rivals.
- Red colour - the symbol of heart which strengthens and encourages and overcomes fatigue and disappointment.
- Red star - the symbol of hope and good mind that demonstrates every person has not only one side, but that it was necessary to look for harmony between will and sentiment, force and fitness, enthusiasm and disappointment.
- The fact that the jersey is half white and half red should symbolize the dichotomy of life. The red and white colours are also considered to be Slavic colours.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or symbols:
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. F, Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly Mirror of Fashions, pp. 363-4 (December 1870)
“If the Americans, in addition to the eagle and the Stars and Stripes and the more unofficial symbols of bison, moose and Indian, should ever need another emblem, one which is friendly and pleasant, then I think they should choose the grapefruit. Or rather the half grapefruit, for this fruit only comes in halves, I believe. Practically speaking, it is always yellow, always just as fresh and well served. And it always comes at the same, still hopeful hour of the morning.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
