Is This Team Connected to Our Rovers?

There's been a Blackburn Rovers in South Africa(Southern Cape) since 1965, but they only stole our name. They didn't steal our badge.

Nice motto. Sounds like us under Mark Hughes. Andy Todd would be perfect for them :lol:

Why is everyone upset? Any team who wants to look like us because they admire us has to be applauded.

Look at Athletic Bilbao who, at their formation, wanted the team strip of the greatest club football team in the world at that time which was the Rovers.

The person charged with obtaining the strip went to Southampton, England but failed to get the Rovers strip so bought the strip of the local team; red and white stripes.  The away strip is sometimes blue and white quarters I believe in honour of the Rovers.

Pretty sure that’s my Atletico Madrid have the red and white stripe tops and the rovers shorts and socks but don’t quote me on that ?

Both Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao were formed by Basques. Both used the blue and white Rovers colours and now both play in red and white stripes. ?
