Club Crests
The club's crest shows the traditional black and white stripes, the colours of Hibernians. It also shows the peacock, the mascot of the club, from which generated the nickname of the club. The club's crest in 1969 showed the black and white stripes, and the flag of Paola, from which the club originated and the Maltese Cross, with the club's name on the border of the badge. In 1994 the directors changed the badge to a one more ordinary, showing just the peacock, the traditional stripes and the name of the club on the border. This crest was completely black and white, although sometimes, the peacock was drawn in blue. Again the club changed the crest in 2000 to modernise the crest and to give the club a new look for its 80th anniversary. This last emblem again shows the stripes together with the peacock and again the flag of Paola, with the clubs name Hibernians F.C. Paola Malta on the border. It even shows the year 1922, the year in which the club was founded.

“All those who dwell in the depths find their happiness in being like flying fish for once and playing on the uppermost crests of the waves. What they value most in things is that they have a surface, their “epidermality”Msit venia verbo.”
