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:
“The barriers of conventionality have been raised so high, and so strangely cemented by long existence, that the only hope of overthrowing them exists in the union of numbers linked together by common opinion and effort ... the united watchword of thousands would strike at the foundation of the false system and annihilate it.”
—Mme. Ellen Louise Demorest 1824–1898, U.S. women’s magazine editor and woman’s club movement pioneer. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 203 (January 1870)
“My image is a statement of the symbols of the harsh, impersonal products and brash materialistic objects on which America is built today. It is a projection of everything that can be bought and sold, the practical but impermanent symbols that sustain us.”
—Andy Warhol (1928–1987)
