    Why do they have an English flag on their badge anyway? Was it English guys that started the team or suhin?

    No, it's because St.George is the patron saint of Catalonia.

    The red and yellow stripes are because the men who founded the club thought Galatasary's strip was quite smart so they said to themselves, 'Aye, we'll be having that on wur badge'.

    Then they put it on the badge and agreed it looked quite smart, so they kept it.

    I don't know why they have a wee fitba on the badge though.

    I thought the stripes were taken from the Catalunya flag. :56::52:

    Probs got the baws from other teams aswell since teams like Man Utd n all them incorporated the baw design.

    This is a better explanation. Flag of Barcelona.

    The jersey colours were red and blue because of a certain FC Basel. Barca's founder was Swiss.
