Young Ireland Sydney - Club Crest

Club Crest

In 2006, to mark the clubs 37th year of continuous participation in the competitions and celebrate being the longest running club in New South Wales Gaelic league, the club commissioned the design of a club crest.

The crest is of a Gaelic football which sits on a map of Ireland which in turn sits on a map of Australia. The background image is of a traditional celtic cross with a round border. The writing in the border is Young Ireland Sydney Australia with 1969 the year of the clubs founding. On the side are the letters NSW GAA to signify the clubs state of origin.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or crest:

    The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.
    “Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly and Mirror of Fashions, p. 44 (February 1870)

    The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
