The eagle owl (huuhkaja) became the unofficial symbol of the Finnish national football team after one landed on the pitch during a match in Helsinki in 2007. The team won. The owl became a mascot. Finns named it Bubo. These things happen.
For the Finnish football supporter who remembers the night in 2007 and understands why the owl matters. The Huuhkajat. The name and the badge.

Every design is inspired by real Finnish life and created by Joel and his team in Helsinki. Joel is also the author of the Very Finnish Problems books, written after many years of living in Finland and still not fully understanding it.
