The Owl Emblem - Lucky or Unlucky?


Recommended Posts

If you were watching ‘A Question of Sport’ tonight on BBC TV, you may now believe that an owl may bring bad luck. It was stated that Don Revie had the owl removed from the dirty Leeds club badge because it was unlucky.

 

The truth is that even though the club had been known as ‘The Peacocks’ for decades, Don Revie’s superstitions prevented the use of the peacock as it was thought to be unlucky. The blue owl was adapted from the coat of arms of the city and added to the all-white strip he introduced to look like Real Madrid.
