Vasco's first coat of arms was created in 1903
Vasco's first coat of arms was created in 1903. It was round, with a black background, with the caravel in the center. On the black background, the initials C and R, plus Vasco da Gama, separated by 6 crosses of Christ. Only in the 1920s did the club adopt the current shield. Vasco accepted blacks, mulattos, clerks and merchants into its membership, people who were not admitted to other football clubs.
When the team started to beat the big ones
When the team started to beat the big ones, the other clubs joined and tried to apply a coup. They prohibited illiterate people from participating in the games. Vasco had to hire teachers to teach most of its players how to write the names to fill in the score sheet. Vasco was one of the first Brazilian teams to pay wages to its players, thus being able to count on low-income people on the team. This was only possible in the 1920s because the players were registered as employees of Portuguese warehouses installed in Rio de Janeiro, fans of the team, since, as it was still an amateur sport, it was forbidden to pay salaries to football players.
Vasco's first football uniform
Vasco's first football uniform was black shirts with white collars and cuffs, with the Cross of Christ on the chest, like the Portuguese national team that was in Rio de Janeiro in 1913 and the Lusitânia with which Vasco merged . In the 1930s, the black shirt with a white stripe and the Maltese Cross on the chest appeared, although the original was used until 1945. The new uniform was created by Uruguayan coach Ondino Vieira, who liked to change club uniforms for where it went.

Vasco also made the first big marketing move in Brazilian fo
Vasco also made the first big marketing move in Brazilian football. In 1925, wine producers from Rio Grande do Sul intended to enter the carioca market and defeat the imported ones. As most of the Portuguese, the biggest consumers of the drink, were from Basque, the producers decided to pay for the hiring and wages of the striker from Rio Grande do Sul, Luiz Carvalho. It worked. Carvalho was a success in the field and had his image associated with the wines of Rio Grande do Sul.
There is a legend involving Bernardo Gandulla
There is a legend involving Bernardo Gandulla, a player for Vasco in the 1939 Carioca Championship, which explains the origin of the term “gandula”. It is said that he, coming from Argentina, took a month to get his registration for the championship. During this period, the winger was on the edge of the field, replacing the ball for teammates and opponents. When the role was made official by the Liga Carioca de Futebol, the following year, the idea of creating the term “gandula” in his honor came up.
The famous Expresso da Vitória
The famous Expresso da Vitória, as Vasco came to be called between 1947 and 1952, formed with Barbosa, Augusto and Rafanelli; Eli, Danilo and Jorge; Djalma, Maneca, Friaça, Lelé and Chico. In 1948, Expresso do Vasco was champion of South American champions, in Chile. This team was the basis of the Brazilian National Team in 1950. In 1970, Danuza Leão modernized the uniform, placing friezes on the shirts and shorts. In 1969, Vasco conceded Pelé's 1,000th goal. In 2007, it was for Vasco that Romário scored his thousandth goal.

During the 1997 Brazilian title campaign
During the 1997 Brazilian title campaign, Vasco beat União São João 6-0 in São Januário. Edmundo scored all the goals of the match. If there is a “curse of the centenary”, it was not even close to Vasco: in 1998, when it completed 100 years, the club was champion of Rio de Janeiro and Libertadores. In addition, he saw rival Fluminense relegated to Série C of the Brazilian Championship. Vasco is the greatest scorer in the history of the Brazilian championship: of the 190 goals scored by Roberto Dinamite in the tournament, 181 were for the club – the other nine were for Portuguesa .
In 2000 Vasco played the final of the Copa João Havelange
In 2000 Vasco played the final of the Copa João Havelange, equivalent to the Brazilian Championship, against São Caetano. The game was interrupted because the fence of the São Januário stadium gave way. The match was rescheduled for early 2001 at the Maracanã and Eurico Miranda, a strong man at the club and outraged by Globo's coverage of the case, decided to stamp the SBT brand on the uniform of Vasco's players, who were champions. Still in 2000, in the Mercosur Cup, Vasco played one of the biggest upsets in the history of Brazilian football: after losing 3-0 to Palmeiras, Cruzmaltino turned the game to 4-3. The game was in São Paulo.
Anyone who has heard the hymn A Portuguesa
Anyone who has heard the hymn A Portuguesa, proclaimed in 1911 as the National Anthem of Portugal, will have noticed that the melody of its opening verses (Heróis do mar, noble Povo/Nação valiant, immortal) is quite similar to the instrumental introduction of the Anthem from Vasco. As the first one is older, it can be deduced that the composer Lamartine Babo sought inspiration for the introductory melody of the anthem he composed for Vasco in the late 1940s.
