Traveling from the port of Heraklion to Piraeus, on the eve of the big match of OFI for the Greek Cup final, I was carried away by the people who, young and old, some with the team's insignia, others with raised banners of support for the Cretan club, made the romantic decision to travel by ferry, road and air and support their local team, which I think every fan would support!

Against the odds of an equally worthy team, which is also completing 100 years of history, representing the same colors and special historical weight of PAOK!
All this becomes even more symbolic, if one considers how Crete is subject to Constantinople as a semi-autonomous Church, making the similarities even greater!

Throughout this manifesto, wishing for a fair and rich match, we hope that football, fair play and finally the triptych of team-world-history that wants it the most will win!

Finally, I was inspired by a logo for the team of the place where I live, which bridges the past of the shield emblem, the present with the association of the letters that refer to the disk of Phaistos and the future with the laurels of Victory inscribed in golden letters of a century of history!

We hope that you bring the Cup to Crete!

PS: if you liked the logo, mention it in the comments!
