A lot of the time, football club nicknames take after the team's shirt color or a traditional local industry, but some are wonderfully unusual, requiring explanations.
Nicknames such as 'The Toffees' for Everton and 'The Baggies' for West Brom have interesting historical connections to local toffee shops and baggy trousers worn by fans in factories, respectively.
Qarabag's nickname inspired their badge design, with its apocalyptic sound explained by a focal point depicting a football flanked by two phoenixes.
