Bragantino's foundation is closely linked to the history of this rival
Bragantino's foundation is closely linked to the history of this rival. In 1927, the team was created from a dissent from Bragança Futebol Clube, which at the time was a traditional club in the city, but which never became professional. In 1944, the then president Cícero Marques ordered a painting of a lion after Bragantino, even with a technically inferior team, beat Bragança. It was from that moment on that the lion became the team's mascot. With the arrival of Red Bull, the lion was named Massa Bruta and Toro Loko became the team's other mascot.
