Irlandos Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 That seems to be the prevalent opinion: the shamrock was the emblem of Halkidona and was adopted by Panathinaikos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almamatter Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I thought Halkidona had the same emblem as Aek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakos13 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 they did but that was a different Xalkidona ......that xalkidona was made in the 30's named after the area of constantinople where many came from (Xalkidona, or today Kadikoy in turkish) this must have been a dif xalkidona club that was actually playing in the city....

The Pao shop was selling a book on Pao but it was too big and bulky to carry back to Aus, anyone have the book? i wonder if it says where it came from in there?

XXX-18T Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 what about the horse clun thing? cos it is a fact that it was a horse club. so what your asking is where the horse club got it from i never heard that it was a horse club :blink: the only thing remotely related to ur statement and horses was back in 1908 they wore a red strip as Pao's first uniform but played their first game in a paddock but what they didnt know their was a bull nearby. The bull started chasing them after it saw the red so the Pao players ran and took the red kit off vowing never to wear red again B) Why they chose Green i dont know, why they chose the trifili i dont know as well All i know is i love the trifili and pao :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover22 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Well I read in the early 20's the teams management decided to adopt the Trifilli as a nod to one of the first coaches they had who was a well known athlete from England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover22 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 The coach was John Campbell and the decision was made in 1919 along w/ the teams color. Its on the history thread on this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evergreen Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 It is most probably the fact Apostolos Nikolaidis competed in track and field with the colors of Chalkidona who were green-white and bore the shamrock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXX-18T Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 ok so we got the trifili from Chalkidona but where did Chalkidona get it from?

Not the one from Pireus that is now in the 1st Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
