The Collingwood Football Club, nicknamed The Magpies after the black and white striped jumpers worn by the players, is an Australian rules football club, playing in the elite Australian Football League.
The Magpies are known for their passionate supporter base, particularly known as ' The Magpie Army '. The national league may have diluted this feeling somewhat, but rivalries with fellow Victorian clubs Carlton, Essendon and Richmond remain fierce.
The club was traditionally known in Melbourne as the "Catholic" club, possibly due to support in the 1920s from the wealthy businessman John Wren, and also due to the support of Irish descendants living in the Collingwood slums in the early years of the 20th century.
Collingwood games have traditionally attracted the largest attendances for a football club of any code in Australia. In 1970, 121,696 spectators watched Carlton defeat Collingwood in the grand final, which is a record attendance for a football game of any code in Australia. Collingwood has the largest membership of the ten Victorian clubs. The club's motto is "Floreat Pica", translated from Latin as "May the Magpies flourish".
