Presenting today a most welcome addition to the collection
& a badge featuring Seljak Cvetojevac, a rather wonderful name full of
eastern exoticism that has recently emerged from out of the Serbian obscurity
in which it resides (the second level of the Kragujevac league, apparently)
& into consciousness, instantly attractive & ripe for a spot of
favouritism.
The badge as object, representing the club’s crest, is
delightfully desirable – the Cyrillic representation of the name has the
familiar aesthetic appeal, of course, as does the ‘communist’/Yugoslav red star
motif, the appeal of which is in this instance intensified by the presence of
the sickle within (a signifier of Seljak’s peasant/farmer roots), whilst the fresh,
pale green ground is unusual in a football context, where darker tones &
more emerald colouration is closer to a norm. It’s a lovely thing.
