FC Spartak Moscow

The centenary logo of FC Spartak Moscow.

The emblem with a leather ball is one of the subversions in a wide set of centenary signs. The Tiento ball from the 1930 World Cup in Uruguay was taken as a basis. Exactly this ball reigned on the fields in the 30s of the last century, when Nikolai Starostin approved the first logo of Spartak.

The famous Tiento ball pattern is ubiquitous in world football, and in particular in clubs that want to emphasize a deep history. Authentic balls are used in Premier League and in Primera, now the retro ball will appear in the RPL.

An essential and at the same time not the most familiar detail for modern fans is the direction of the diagonals. This decision refers to the «historical» rhombus of the late 30s and early 40s.
