(since 17. 8. 1986.)
The history of BBB dates back to mid 1980s when the pioneers of the 'coloured blue' had an image of organisation.
The name Bad Blue Boyswas inspired by the movie Bad Boys starringSean Penn. All over Europe and former Yugoslavia active supporters were becoming a regular part of the football spectacle.It wasn't enough to stand behind your team on home ground and so the most organised began their journeys. When said organised it doesn't mean organised by the club(there was those,but they were rare),but small groups of people in Zagreb's suburbs started forming their own ways about making themselves heard,and they were heard allright. Troughout the years other cities all over former Yugoslavia were visited in succession, Belgrade, Sarajevo, Ljubljana, Split, Ni,,, Subotica, Vinkovci, Mostar, Novi Sad, Banja Luka, Skopje, Osijek, Rijeka. At every opportunity and in every corner of that country Bad Blue Boys made it obvious how much they loved Dinamo, Zagreb and Croatia.
Sometimes it had to be shown with fists and real Purgers always stood their ground.
Generations changed over those ten years.Early 90's saw the organisation of the first Fan Club BAD BLUE BOYS. Everyone gave what they could for the love of the team, but those years brought the horrible war. A lot of BBB consider that the war started on the 13th of May 1990 when Red Star Belgrade came to 'play'.The match was never played,it was played on the stands and later on the streets of Zagreb.It all started when the supporters from Belgrade knocked the fence down and made their way to the stand which was occupied by regular people,smaller groups who came to watch, not to fight.Bad Blue Boys heard a cry of the nation,and went to defend what was Croatian and for us, that was the beginning of a war. The actual war officially started a few months after. Just like other fans of other Croatian teams, Bad Blue Boys gave lives defending their Homeland,those were young men full of pride and courage. Together with Torcida(Hajduk Split), Kohorta(Osijek), Armada(Rijeka) and others they fought against the Serbian aggression and a large number of these men died. In honour to these people a few years after the war ended a statue was raised under the western stand of Maksimir Stadium. Even though a war was rageing throughout Croatia,the football league continued and Bad Blue Boys followed every game of their beloved team.During war,out of the blue the legendary NK Dinamo Zagreb was given a new name,HA,,K-Gradjanski and then Croatia, every fan felt unjustified.The name Dinamo is sacred. Those were hard times for the whole nation,people looked for every possible way to take their minds off the reality,one of these was through sport.
Now the sacred name Dinamo Zagreb stands again.And we are at a new beginning, the fans are coming back in large numbers.....From reestablishing of Croatian First League BAD BLUE BOYS continued to support their club from Maksimir,at home and all over Europe.Since the formation of BAD BLUE BOYS Dinamo have not played away games without their backup from the stands, from Auxerre to Tirana, Belgrade, Newcastle, Madrid, London......BAD BLUE BOYS HYMN: Dinamo Ja Volim
