Pateadores is a Spanish slang term that means "kickers"

The colors for the Pateadores Soccer Club have been blue and yellow since the inception of the club in 1987. The crest was adopted in 1989 and is outlined in yellow surrounding the blue and white crest. The black swan was added to the crest in 1995. This is to symbolize the club's unique style of play, which is aggressive, territorial, and graceful. The swan's segments represent the 4 original founding teams in the club; U19, U17, U16, and U15.

The initials at the bottom of the crest, RMO, are a tribute to Robert M. O'Leary, the original Director and Head Coach of the Pateadores Soccer Club.

• The current Pateadores Crest has the same design as the original but with 7 stars added.
• The yellow star represents the 2011 United States Soccer Development Academy Championship.
• The blue stars represent the 3x Cal South National Championships.
• The white stars represent the 3x US Club National Championships.
