THEME WEEK: Rotterdam Dockworkers
#1
As a Dutchie and RL Feyenoord Rotterdam fan, I couldn't not expand the SSL into the beautiful port city of Rotterdam. The port of Rotterdam is by far the largest, most active European port and the worlds tenth-largest cargo port.

The city of Rotterdam itself is the second largest city of the Netherlands, with a history dating back to 1270 when a dam was constrcuted in the Rotte. It's city center was completely anhilated by german bombardments during World War II, leading the way for great modern architects to re-design the entire city. Due to the port and the Meuse, Scheldt and Rhine flowing through or past Rotterdam the city is often called the 'gateway to Europe'.

And it is this history that makes the city the perfect spot for an SSL franchise. Building on the most important component of the city's identity, the Rotterdam Dockworkers are born. A football team built on the values of hard work and development of character. From robust, strong targetmen in the attacking lines to hard, ruthless defenders and omnipresent shadows on the midfield this team aims to be everyone's worst nightmare to play against. The team works hard, fighting for every inch of the pitch and not shying away from hard tackles and the odd elbow.

With a kit consisting of black and brown colours, the Rotterdam Dockworkers look as mean and menacing as one would expect. With a kit this dark and ominous, even a fine, technical player like Cal Labovitch would strike fear in the hearts of his opponents. The club's shield showing the crane and ship as symbols of the dock, and the related industry and history only add to this image.

The club is owned by the people of Rotterdam, with fans holding share certificates in the club. The club is sponsored by the Roytal Dutch Shell company.
