The Fighting squids established themselves as a social group in 2005. A bunch of Aussies met and decided that they needed to kick the old footy around. After a typo of the "Fighting Squad" was read as the Fighting Squids, the name stuck and so too did the team.

Re: Australain Football stadiums overseas

Re: Australain Football stadiums overseas
Is there a logo for the Fighting Squids?
By the way...can anyone remember the LA Crocodiles VFL side someone made up as some fanciful pipedream in the mid-80's?
