I'll bite.

Trophy: some kind of sports win
A single person with gloves: goalkeeper? Football?
That badge with basic initials/year: a lot of northern European football clubs have those

....some German football club won something?

Ah neat. Pretty much the only German club I can recognise is Bayern Munich

Damn, those teams are so unpretentious. Even the smallest club here has a crest. My one:

Bless their cotton socks, it sucks.

I like it

I love the crests and coat of arms of UK clubs. It's like military insignia (which I collect): you can read history. For example, a Scottish friend is a supporter of Largs Thistle and that club's logo commemorates a battle the locals fought against a Viking invasion:

That is a neat one!

My club gets the nickname "The Glovers" from the (much declined) leather making industry presence at the turn of the century. I've often wondered what would happen if there was a glove added to their crest - I could imagine a Northern Irish person seeing this seeming combination of Celtic colours and the Ulster Banner and scratching their heads
