Thanks for the content! For the record, Mohamed Elyounoussi was born in Morocco but his family emigrated to Norway when he was a child, he grew up in Sarpsborg, and he plays for Norway. So he doesn't fit the pattern of young African players coming to Europe to play football, he was a local lad.

As an Everton fan, I can confirm the iwobi part is true

[@cartmenez7]

The best part is, that FC Bayern Alzenau is currently playing in the Hessenliga. So even though they are located in Bavaria and are even carrying it in their name, they compete in Hassia. Greetings from Alzenau. Keep up the great work, Alfie💪

[@UnleashtheFiore]

New series idea: 7 players who played for both ‘derby’ clubs. Manchester, Liverpool/Everton, Madrid, Milan etc.

[@nicocorbo4153]

Interestingly enough, Hódmezővásárhely translates to Beavers' Field Marketplace in Hungarian. Quite the town name if you asked me

[@MiklosHajma]

Well, almost - hód means beaver, mező means field, vásárhely is more like a place when you can held a fair or market (vásár is a fair, hely means place). Fair as in a large, open area one. Not really used in contemporary Hungarian though. It's a funny name, even from a Hungarian point of view :)

[@markmalnay7243]

Did not expect to see a photo of the leader of the Hungarian opposition in one of your videos Alfie but you never disappoint. And your pronunciation was actually decent

[@GeHeum]

The middle part in the logo of both clubs from Bayern is just the flag of Bayern, the German state. To call this copying from one another goes a bit to far for me, since both clubs' logo design was: state that you are from Bavaria, put the flag of Bavaria in the middle and make a circular crest. It is just extremely hard to end up significantly more different than both clubs did.

[@unstoppableExodia]

As much as Alfie may have neglected to mention that the blue and white check is the flag of Bavaria he did show Bayern Munich’s previous club crests and demonstrate that Bayern Munich adopted that particular design after the other club had already been using it.

[@bentn13]

The shape of the badge is way too similar, if you look at any other football badge they really don't need to have the flag in it. If the flag were the only similarity it would be one thing, but it's not.

[@53rdand3rdShows]

This page clearly dislikes Bayern. Never a good word about the club.

[@Outwhere]

@@53rdand3rdShows They ended up high in "clubs that actually make a profit", so definitely some good words there. The badge was obviously "inspired" by Alzenau though.

[@lagavulin7194]

@@Outwhere those are facts though. Are they supposed to skip them in their ranking just because they don't like them. I hardly doubt so. I don't think that they have a problem with Munich, but you can't say for sure that they stole the badge. Bavarians are very proud of there flag, plus there are numerous Bavarian football teams that go by the name Bayern ...

[@TheMightofDab]

4:04 to be fair, them being in Bavaria can also be used to excuse them, as both clearly use the Bavaria flag in their emblem. obviously it has become associated with Bayern Munich, but it makes sense that clubs in Bavaria would use that pattern

[@KegManplays]

It's worth noting that the blue and white diamond pattern is the flag of Bavaria. The chances of more than one club using the pattern in their badge is pretty high as a result

[@DGAMINGEN]

Cool to see that people liked an idea so much that we even got a 2nd part. Maybe this suggestion will be similarly popular (also sounds cool to say that I had the idea for 3 videos XD). Day 19: Top 7 second/amateur teams in football (Hertha BSC II which almost won the DFB Pokal, Real Madrid Castilla who lost to their first team in the spanish cup in 1980 but got into Europe)

Thumbs up to HITC Sevens for the fan service. I specifically requested the Bayern Munich - Bayern Alzenau comparison and the level of detail was just perfect. Even cared to give some information about former or current players, well done dude :)

Currently yes. But sometimes it changes quite a lot. The schedule during the euros was (of course) pure chaos.

[@imwinningthisone7613]

Bevel FC in Belgium based their entire club on Barca it seems. I was super surprised when i played against them a few years back. The same kit, badge etc.

[@alibalous5510]

i believe you skipped a certain bayern munich logo when showing the different logos through the years :)

[@RyuzakiTaiyou]

Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 269) I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored. If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.

[@thezac7774]

How tf has he not actually done this yet

[@yisraelbrooke1481]

He'll probably do it on the anniversary 😂

[@Kilijumper]

Fun fact: Bayern Alzenau do actually do not compete in the bavarian football system/pyramid. Since they are located so far in the North west of bavaria, they chose toa ssociate with the foodball federation of Hesse rather. Mainly because all of the clubs there in the Oberliga or Regionalliga are actually way closer than their counterparts in Bavaria making travel a lot easier historically and also for more intense local rivalries.

[@21hazza]

What has happened to Iwobi? I remember him being highly rated at Arsenal. (Good joke btw 😂)

[@DJMavis]

Last season, when Everton still had James Rodriguez, there was a being the scenes video at the club, and one of the questions was "who's the most skilful player" and Iwobi was by far the most common answer. So he's got the skills. I assume he just hasn't the brain.

[@casteri]

In the case of Bayern Munich, the pattern used in both clubs' badge is a predominant feature of the coat of arms of Baveria

[@depekthegreat359]

I fully agree with all the listed respective clubs which borrowed the other respective clubs' respective badges but could not believe that your beloved Hull City borrowed the badge from a Hungarian based club,good friend!!!:-D

[@DGAMINGEN]

[@michaelplaysbass]

Glad for your (albeit quick) personal take on the Hull situation, Alfie. If this new owner is even halfway decent, I fear we won't be getting further instalments of the "what on earth is going on at Hull City?" videos; they'll be too well-run and thus be disqualified. How will I know how you're feeling about Hull, then??

[@lewisdunkfan7790]

I actually have a fc bayern alzenau/urf jersey from 1994, it's a adidas template shirt the same one as bayern munich at the time. It was mainly white with red stripes. (I think it's the away)

[@MiklosHajma]

Congrats, you almost pronounced Hódmezővásárhely correctly :D You just need to use a simple Z (like in zoom) instead of what you did. It sounded more like the Hungarian voicing of the letter (!) ZS (which sounds almost like the s in "measure").

[@lovefan7694]

Never have I seen a more justifiable inclusion of Hull City in your videos. Good job, Alfie

[@bentn13]

I do want to say, that the pattern at the centre of the two Bayern clubs is just the regional flag of Bavaria. I do agree that the shape and way of doing it is stolen, just wanted to point out that two bavarian clubs that flaunt their bavarianness in their name most likely would have that pattern in their badge :D

[@cartmenez7]

And alzenau is in the region of lower Franconia in Bavaria ;) So technically not truely Bavarian

[@ajdeone]

😂😂The South African Police Service must be proud, u included their officer and their vehicle in your video (0:03)

[@Icetuga1]

You didn´t looked very good in Portugal if you just found 2 club crests similar to the big 3 clubs there. The beginning of a lot of clubs in Portugal was as a affiliated club, for example Sporting Braga started as an affiliated club to Sporting Portugal. 20 years ago you if you watched through the leagues you would see at least 2-3 Sporting, Benfica or Porto (this one a bit less then the other 2 and mostly in the north region) copies per leagues. And if you look further you would find a lot of clubs outside of Portugal which are Sporting or Benfica inspired created by club supporters with also similar badges.

[@Ausamte]

A lot of people don't know this but QPR's badge is identical to a Brazilian club named São Bento

[@justhuy7960]

Hollysh*t, it's so freaking identical lol The guy who designed QPR's new badge probably had the easiest job in the world lmao

[@vascofrancisco9903]

One possible design of Santa Clara badge hada griffin on it.

[@powerviolentnightmare5026]

Many might seem stolen, some inspired and some just look similar on coincidence. There's just so much individual designs in the world and it's nigh impossible to make something unique.

[@wolfmauler]

Well, it certainly will be with that attitude....

[@DomenBremecXCVI]

Oh, it's easy to do something unique, you have to purposely go against any designer rules you know making the design look about as good as a certain de Pfaffel is at being a PM, but still... at least it's unique.

[@motionpictures6629]

Bayern and Bayern both use the national flag of Bayern (Bavaria) that's why they are the same. The Leverkusen Logo, the Braunschweig Logo and one of the Fortune Düsseldorf logos all contain the Red Lion with four visible claws and a split tail, not because they stole from each other but because all three cities were at one point ruled by descendants of Henry the Lion and Mathilda Plantagenet. They used the English Plantagenet Lion and had it standing up and with a split tail. At least 100 cities in Central Europe have the Lion on the Logo. My hometown Düsseldorf has the Lion holding an anchor because of the Haber on the river Rhine. I once meet a French Guy in Lima and was really irritated that he wore a shirt with the Logo of my hometown, till he told me that it was the Logo of his hometown somewhere close to Strasbourg.

[@klamin_original]

No, that is not why they are the same. Bayern Munich had a completely different badge before they stole the design of Alzenau

[@motionpictures6629]

@@klamin_original and then the used the Bavarian flag, like the other guys.

[@wolfmauler]

That's really odd. London is literally teeming with clubs, but thank goodness we don't see a dozen professional teams with the same white dragons flanking a shield and/or crest on every badge! (i.e. as seen on the coat of arms of the city of London. I think Leighton Orient come the closest to patterning their badge after the city seal)

[@klamin_original]

@@motionpictures6629 Nope. Why choose a round shape, nothing resembling Bavarian symbols is a circle in Bavaria. Why did they choose to run their name around the inner circle, it's clearly heavily inspired by Alzenau.

[@FootballDrawn]

Given that I have to hand-draw many badges for my own Channel and videos, I came across many interesting patterns that are followed by some clubs. Obviously some can be co-incidents, but some patterns are directly taken from others. Very interesting topic indeed ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽

I feel obligated to point out that Santa Clara University is a power in American women’s soccer (football). Among others they have produced Brandi Chastain, who scored the iconic penalty to secure the US victory in the 1999 WWC final. I am comfortable characterizing them as a brilliant association football team, though perhaps not a club. American college soccer (football) is weird.

Alfie, the old Sydney FC logo has an even more blatant rip off from a French club, I think they’re in the fifth tier or something though haha.

[@MegaJK97]

Fun Fact to FC Bayern Alzenau: Although they are from Bavaria, they don't play in Bavaria, since they are much closer to Frankfurt, Darmstadt and Mainz than to the rest of Bavaria. And another fun fact: the stadium seats in Bayern Alzenau's stadium are, in fact, old seats from Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.

4:20 two things I want to mention here: 1.) The part in the middle of both Bayern club logos are taken from the Bavarian flag, so no, it's not a coincidence that they have it in their logo, it's because this pattern is their state flag! 2.) Interestinly enough the 1954-1961 logo style is actually stolen - from another historically big club in Bavaria: 1. FC Nürnberg, who had the same logo with very little change since their inception in 1900.
