===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.
