Description:

Dunfermline Athletic were founded on June 2, 1885. Dunfermline Athletic reached the European Cup Winners' Cup semifinal in 1968-69. There is no definitive explanation of the team nickname. Really. Some guesses: 1. a derogatory reference to their playing style, or drinking style. 2. banners unfurled at their home park by English workers for their English home teams: Plymouth, Argyle, Rosyth. 3. when Dunfermline gained league status, they were on a par with other teams. 4. parallel black & white stripes on shirt resembles a par fish.
