Geelong Cats Logos and Symbols
Every fan can recognize the Geelong Cats' classic black and white stripes, but did you know there's a rich history behind these colors? The original club, the Geelong Football Club, was founded in 1859, making it one of the oldest and most historic teams in Australian Rules Football. The club's original logo featured a cat, chosen to reflect the city's history as a shipbuilding and wool trading hub, with cats being known for their ability to hunt mice in the hold of ships.
Our Geelong Cats logos and symbols coloring pages offer a closer look at the iconic imagery that represents the team. Kids can learn about the evolution of the club's visual identity and color schemes, from the original black and gold to the current black and white stripes. They can also color in the classic Geelong Cats' mascot, 'Zac the Cat,' and other fan-favorite symbols.
The Story Behind the Stripes
Geelong Cats' most recognizable feature is undoubtedly their distinctive black and white stripes. But where did these stripes come from? The story goes that in the early 20th century, a Geelong player named Jack Moriarty decided that the team's existing two-colored socks were too plain. He took a pair of socks and ran them through a modern washing machine, resulting in the classic striped pattern we know today. Our 'Story of the Stripes' coloring page lets kids illustrations this amusing tale while enjoying some coloring fun.
We also offer a variety of additional Geelong Cats symbols coloring pages, such as the club's shields, emblems, and other iconic imagery. Coloring these sheets not only allows kids to express their creativity but also helps them understand and appreciate the rich history and traditions of the Geelong Cats.
