==Badge==
The team’s colours are white, black, and gold. These colours are the primary colours for the Clan Campbell coats of arms related to club founder Alex Campbell Jr.’s heritage. The heraldic colour white signifies purity and sincerity, gold has the meaning of generosity and glory, while black connotes fidelity and prudence.
The badge consists of a double-headed Celtic swirl, triskele, or triple spiral with a hub of a soccer ball. A triskele is a common artistic symbol used in various cultures around the world, but is usually associated with Celtic art. Due to the symbol's age, the triskele is a symbol meaning a number of different things to different people and there is no absolute, widely agreed upon meaning. For some it is a symbol of the holy trinity such as on Pictish sculptured stones or in the Book of Kells. For others a symbol of pre-Celtic paganism representing land, sea, and sky, or the idea of spirit, mind, and body, or the deity Manannán. Manannán is a sea deity associated with the weather and mists between the worlds, uncertainty, the unknown, adventure, and transformation. Still others associate the symbol with the 3200 BCE tomb of Newgrange and harmony. Finally others associate the Celtic triskele as a symbol of female power, of the transition and evolution of body, mind, and spirit embodied in the maid, mother, and crone or the cycle of pregnancy. The hub, the soccer ball, could symbolize the unity, focus, or expression of the three ideas. The whorls oriented in opposite directions could specify balance.
