===Motto===
Since its formation, Sporting CP's [[motto]] is: "Effort, Dedication, Devotion and Glory" (''Esforço, Dedicação, Devoção e Glória'').<ref>{{Cite web |date=2014-11-25 |title=Missão |url=https://www.sporting.pt/pt/clube/instituicao/miss%C3%A3o |access-date=2024-03-06 |website=Sporting|language=pt-pt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title="Esforço, devoção, dedicação e glória.

===Crests===
The stylized [[Attitude (heraldry)|rampant]] lion of the crest was taken by the [[Alfredo Holtreman, Viscount of Alvalade|Viscount of Alvalade]] from the [[heraldry]] of [[Dom (honorific)|Dom]] Fernando de Castello-Branco, Mayor of [[Cascais]] and the main promoter of football at Sporting Club de Cascais (widely known at the time as Sporting Club da Parada). However, Castello-Branco demanded that the color used by the new sports club should not be blue, since that was already a color adopted by Sporting Club da Parada.<ref>{{Cite web |title=O Leão Rampante do SCP nasceu em Cascais |url=https://www.cascais.pt/noticia/o-leao-rampante-do-scp-nasceu-em-cascais |access-date=2024-02-23 |website=Câmara Municipal de Cascais |language=pt-pt}}</ref> To keep up with times, the club's emblem has been modernized throughout history and this led to the development of various crests consistent with the history of the club: in all of them, the rampant lion and the color green have always been present in prominence.<ref name="dos Emblemas">{{Cite web |date=6 April 2015 |title=A História dos Emblemas |url=https://www.sporting.pt/pt/clube/historia/emblemas |access-date=3 March 2024 |trans-title=The History of Emblems |website=sporting.pt |publisher=Sporting Clube de Portugal |language=pt-pt |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230608174802/https://www.sporting.pt/pt/clube/historia/emblemas |archive-date=8 June 2023 }}</ref> Since its founding on the 1st July 1906, Sporting has already had five emblems, in addition to two commemorating crests for the fiftieth (1956) and the one hundredth years of existence (2006) of the club.

Sporting CP radically changed its emblem in 2001 to convey a message of modernity, more geared towards the new technologies at the time.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-07-19 |title=Devem os clubes mudar os seus emblemas? |url=https://www.dn.pt/desportos/devem-os-clubes-mudar-os-seus-emblemas-11106671.html |access-date=2023-10-30 |website=dn.pt |language=pt-PT |archive-date=31 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231031105734/https://www.dn.pt/desportos/devem-os-clubes-mudar-os-seus-emblemas-11106671.html }}</ref> The current emblem presents an image with simplified framing while maintaining the green color in the shield and adding three horizontal white stripes that symbolize the club's shirt. Complemented with the words 'Sporting' and 'Portugal', now written in full, they emphasize the national dimension of the club and clarify its name internationally.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-12-24 |title=Sporting quer renovar o símbolo |url=https://rr.sapo.pt/bola-branca/noticia/sporting/2022/12/24/sporting-quer-renovar-o-simbolo/313164/ |access-date=2023-10-30 |website=Rádio Renascença |language=pt-pt |archive-date=31 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231031105735/https://rr.sapo.pt/bola-branca/noticia/sporting/2022/12/24/sporting-quer-renovar-o-simbolo/313164/ |url-status=live }}</ref> A stylized rampant lion appears in golden color and the acronym "SCP", which stands for the club's name (Sporting Clube de Portugal), is shown like a crown on top of the shield.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-bwin/sporting/detalhe/de-brasoes-a-quatro-escudos-o-que-inspirou-os-varios-emblemas-do-sporting-antes-de-nova-mexida | title=De brasões a quatro escudos: O que inspirou os vários emblemas do Sporting antes de nova mexida |website=record.pt | access-date=3 February 2023 | archive-date=3 February 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230203135157/https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-bwin/sporting/detalhe/de-brasoes-a-quatro-escudos-o-que-inspirou-os-varios-emblemas-do-sporting-antes-de-nova-mexida | url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="dos Emblemas"/>

=== Kits ===
When the club was founded in 1906, its players wore white jerseys. On 25 October 1908, Sporting presented the first ten football shirts that would come to be known as the Stromp kit. The initiative came from founder Eduardo Quintela de Mendonça. The Stromp kit is split at the top, with the right half white and the left half painted green. It was named in honour of one of the club's main founders, [[Francisco Stromp]], and it had white shorts, with the shorts changing to black in 1915. It stopped being used as the main jersey in 1928.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sporting não terá equipamento Stromp esta época mas vai homenagear símbolo a abrir 2024 - Sporting - Jornal Record |url=https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/sporting/detalhe/sporting-nao-tera-equipamento-stromp-esta-epoca-mas-vai-homenagear-simbolo-a-abrir-2024 |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Record}}</ref> On 6 November 1927, the horizontally striped green and white jerseys that Salazar Carreira, sportsman and sports manager linked to the club since 1912,<ref>{{Cite web |date=2012-11-02 |title=Evocação de Salazar Carreira |url=https://www.sporting.pt/pt/noticias/clube/2012-11-02/evocacao-de-salazar-carreira |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Sporting|language=pt-pt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=José Salazar Carreira |url=https://www.dn.pt/dossiers/desporto/sporting/os-presidentes/jose-salazar-carreira-982779.html/ |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Diário de Notícias |language=pt}}</ref> had chosen for [[Sporting CP (rugby union)|the club's rugby team]] in 1926<ref name=":17" /> were worn by the football team for the first time in a [[Exhibition game|friendly match]] against [[Casa Pia A.C.|Casa Pia]], but after that the Stromp kit continued to be used. When Sporting's football team travelled to Brazil in July 1928, and after considering the weather conditions in that country, it was decided to wear the horizontally striped jerseys<ref name=":17">{{Cite web |title=Sporting: equipamento de 24/25 homenageia Stromp e será estreado no sábado |url=https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/sporting/equipamento/sporting-equipamento-de-24-25-homenageia-stromp-e-sera-estreado-no-sabado |access-date=2024-05-15 |website=CNN Portugal |language=pt}}</ref> because they were lighter and tighter to the body. On their return, the Sporting's football team once again wore the traditional split jerseys known as the Stromp kit. However, on 5 October 1928, in a match against Benfica, whether it was because of the heavy rain that made them too heavy, or for some other reason, at half-time the players swapped their usual jerseys for the striped ones, thus establishing what is still the club's main kit today: green and white horizontally striped jersey with black shorts.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-03-26 |title=Camisolas |url=https://www.sporting.pt/pt/clube/historia/camisolas |access-date=2024-04-25 |website=Sporting |language=pt-pt}}</ref>

=== Mascot ===
The club's [[mascot]] is called Jubas, plural of the Portuguese word for [[Mane (lion)|mane]], and is an anthropomorphic version of a lion wearing customized standard equipment and attire worn by the players of Sporting CP's main team.<ref name=":11">{{Cite web |title=Jubas, mascote do Sporting, vai entrar no próximo episódio das Kardashians |url=https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/sporting/detalhe/jubas-mascote-do-sporting-vai-entrar-no-proximo-episodio-das-kardashians |access-date=2024-04-01 |website=Record |language=pt-PT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Pereira |first=Bruno Alexandre |date=2022-02-05 |title=FIFA 22: vem aí o Jubas do Sporting e mais umas mascotes! |url=https://www.leak.pt/fifa-22-vem-ai-o-jubas-do-sporting/ |access-date=2024-04-02 |website=Leak |language=pt-PT}}</ref> It also wears official Loja Verde (Sporting CP's official store) garment in both [[Charity (practice)|charity]] and [[Marketing|promotional marketing]] initiatives.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Jogadores do Sporting visitaram a Casa de Acolhimento de Santa Teresinha |url=https://www.flashscore.pt/noticias/futebol-liga-portugal-jogadores-do-sporting-visitaram-a-casa-de-acolhimento-de-santa-teresinha/rTdPRgS8/ |access-date=2024-04-02 |website=Flashscore |language=pt}}</ref>

===Names===
Founded on 1 July 1906, after two months during which the newly created sports club project was temporarily called Campo Grande Sporting Club<ref name=":9" /> (after [[Campo Grande, Lisbon|Campo Grande]]), instead of its final official name, Sporting Clube de Portugal, which could be literally translated as “Sporting Club of Portugal”, the club is officially referred to by [[UEFA]] and [[FIFA]] as written in its official full name or as "Sporting CP", a shortened form of the name.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sporting CP: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 |url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/clubs/50149--sporting-cp/ |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=[[UEFA]] |language=en}}</ref> The designation "Sporting Lisbon", a common way some foreign media and non-Portuguese speaking people use to refer to Sporting CP outside Portugal,<ref name=":0" /> has been a source of contention and controversy for some ''sportinguistas''<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-12-18 |title=Young Boys comete gafe com o Sporting e adeptos não perdoam |url=https://www.abola.pt/futebol/noticias/young-boys-comete-gafe-com-o-sporting-e-adeptos-nao-perdoam-2023121815202638405 |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=Abola |language=pt}}</ref><ref name=":13">{{Cite web  |date=2023-04-11 |title=Gonçalo Ferreira: Social Media Manager at Sporting CP |url=https://behindsport.com/goncalo-ferreira-social-media-manager-at-sporting-cp/ |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=Behind Sport |language=en-US}}</ref> because it does not conform with the official name of the sports club and its [[Brand valuation|brand value]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mereu |first=Sebastiano |date=2015-08-03 |title=#NotSportingLisbon: How the STAMP model can help keep control over the misuse of the Sporting Clube de Portugal brand name |url=https://sportsbusinessresearch.academy/2015/08/03/notsportinglisbon-misrepresenting-the-sporting-clube-de-portugal-brand-name/ |access-date=2024-03-04 |website=Sports Business Research Academy |language=en-US}}</ref> Regarding this issue, club supporters and officials have promoted awareness campaigns to raise people's awareness nationwide and internationally, and the club changed its official crest in 2001<ref>{{Cite web |title=De brasões a quatro escudos: o que inspirou os vários emblemas do Sporting antes de nova mexida - Sporting - Jornal Record |url=https://www.record.pt/futebol/futebol-nacional/liga-betclic/sporting/detalhe/de-brasoes-a-quatro-escudos-o-que-inspirou-os-varios-emblemas-do-sporting-antes-de-nova-mexida |access-date=2024-02-23 |website=Record}}</ref> with a focus on the name of the club and its words "Sporting" and "Portugal" in mind.<ref name=":16" /><ref>{{Cite web |title=#NotSportingLisbon: Sportinguista quer ensinar ao mundo o nome do clube |url=https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/twitter/notsportinglisbon/sportinguista-quer-ensinar-ao-mundo-o-nome-do-clube |access-date=2024-02-19 |website=CNN Portugal |language=pt}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=#NotSportingLisbon.
