History

Guilherme de Aquino Fonseca, founder of Sport Club do Recife, was a member of a wealthy family in Pernambuco. His father, João d'Aquino Fonseca and his mother Maria Eugênia Regadas Aquino Fonseca concerned about the conduct and character of the children ordered Guilherme to England to carry out his studies. He studied at Cambridge University where he graduated as an engineer. When he returned from Europe, in 1903, he brought, in addition to their training, a passion for football, which at that time was considered a sport of the elite.

In the University of Cambridge, Guilherme de Aquino met football and led to the Recife.

From the first contact with the ball, the young Recifense began to dream big. Upon his return, he promised himself, he would found a football club, which later became the Sport Recife, and with the Latin ability, could play better than the English. Soon, there could also be several other clubs, and football would gain popularity quickly, thought Guilherme, who, with his own money, bought balls, whistles and all kinds of equipment needed for the sport.

On May 13, 1905, at noon, in the hall of the Association of Employees of Trade of Recife (Associação dos Empregados do Comércio do Recife), was founded Sport Club do Recife.

"At that time, I had installed an establishment of fashions, for both sexes, with the added luxury of the city called Metropolis House, situated in the former New Street. There gathered the groups that discussed the organization of a club, becoming the favorite spot of portmen, as well says Mário Sette, our first secretary, in his book Maxambombas and Maracatus. It was the hotbed of ideas sports. It was, after all, the Sport Club do Recife, our great bulwark, organized, and we can say, based on that commercial establishment that producing this event, ended up being closed, so that, as was young (20 years), with a creation gentlewoman, to know the value of money, let you have the necessary financial precautions, diverting my attention and my attention from the business to give myself body and soul year our club. It would be illogical and the foundation of a decent college sports in the back of a store, so we got a gentle and generous acquiescence of the president of the Association of Employees of Recife, in order that their halls and facilities were opened to honor the first annual installation and foundation of the Sport Club do Recife (without the "do")."

The match was well played on both sides, with one draw. We congratulate the board of Sport Club for victory, for being a new society, not left to win by English Eleven."

The motto will very likely have to rise at a time that coincides with the onset of war cry, to cry because it is part of initiating the same.

Badge

The first coat of Sport had nothing to do with the current one. In one of the first statutes of the club he was well defined: About an anchor, and arm the date May 13, 1905, based on a pair of oars crossed with a mast containing descendants streamers and a croquette, a lifeguard, and in center a football between a cricket and stick a tennis racket, crossed and surmounted by the letters SCR, interlaced monogram and the body, writing Sport Club Recife. Soon, the badge number 1 represented the Sport all sports practiced by the club at the time, from cricket to spearfishing. The coat was too complex, difficult to reproduce and not bore the colors. Then, in 1919 then President Arnaldo Loyo faced a challenge to many at the time was considered madness: get Sport to Belém do Pará to play a series of five friendlies. The club has achieved significant results since the time the Pará football was more developed than the Pernambuco.

To the surprise of Pará, the Sport wins Local combined 2–1 and get the trophy. Disappointment for opposing fans was such that a fan invaded the most daring ship where leaders Crimson-Black kept the piece, and damaged its tail with an iron pipe. This inspired the development of a new coat for the sport. So the lion was adopted as the new symbol of the club because it represented all his boldness, courage and spirit of the winner scored since its founding.
